Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The hotel and the grounds were beautiful, and everyone was so nice! We were there on our honeymoon, and were even given a free upgrade into the gorgeous presidential suite. The pool had an amazing view and the food was delicious. We would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to anyone traveling through Kandy.

Sri LankaI recently had the pleasure of staying at Elegant Hotel with my family, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. The staff were very attentive and very helpful with all our requirements. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was really tasty as well. Overall, I would highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and excellent service make it the perfect choice for a getaway.

EstoniaWe were absolutely amazed. It is a hotel were everything was as it should be. It is one of the best hotels we have ever been. The room was big, the beds were comfortable as well as the pillows. The hotel was very clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. If we discussed something within our family, the next moment we had it. They even brought a TV to the restaurant only because we wanted to watch the football world championship. The food was great, they had a variety of local and international food. And it is fresh as it comes from the hotel’s vegetable garden, which I had the possibility to visit. We were treated like best friends or family members, and we really recommend this hotel for your stay near the Kandy area.

RussiaThe way to the hotel up the hill may seem a bit challenging.
I’ve never met so openhearted people. They helped us to cope all the problems, did everything to make our stay hopeless and calm. If you want to stay at a quiet place, surrounded by good people willing to help you not for money, but “just because” there is no better place then this. The hotel is very cozy and clean with lots of greens. Our room was spacious with an A/C, ceiling fan, teapot and TV. There was a beautiful view on the mountains from one side and the swimming pool from the other. Try the mixed fried rice and mixed noodles on the menu. The portion is enough to share 👌🏼 The hotel and all services are at the reasonable price! You’ll never regret your choice

Exceptional Hotel, location and staff. The hotel is set on top of small hill with beautiful 360 degrees views. The rooms are modern and spacious, spotlessly clean. The food is fresh perfectly presented and tastes great. The staff are great very helpful and pleasant. Wish we had stayed longer. We are planning our next Sri Lanka trip for Feb/March next year and will be returning to this beautiful hotel for a longer stay. Thank You

United Arab EmiratesKinda was expecting more from the hotel’s facilities... In general, all around, including the building itself, looked outdated. Be cautious that the walls in the room are quite thin, so if you are a sensitive sleeper, better bring earplugs.
This hotel is located out of Kandy city in a calm neighborhood. The staff was pleasant & friendly. Also, special thanks to the culinary team, the food was absolutely delightful! The room was quite spacious.
