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.).

We had a real good time at this place. Its home away from home. Very clean and comfortable with all the ammenities. My children loved the place very much spacious for five of us. "Raja" the caretaker very supportive and He helped with cooking Manager Mr. Rohan is a very pleasant and with good personality. Very nice view from all of the windows. Mountain and Lake. Just 5 mins walk to the Greogary Park entrance closer to Adma Strawberry Ship. Fresh Organic Vegetables farm just opposite to the road and owned by this Same cottage owner. "Jaye" is a very kind farmer is there and you can buy fresh organic vegetables for a lower price from him. Wonderful place to stay in Nuwaraeliya for a great experience.

IrelandThe house was very nice. It was an old Victorian English style home. It was very well situated. Just a 15 minute walk along a lovely lake into the centre. Rohan was extremely accommodating and a gentleman. Raja was also an excellent help. We gave Raja and Rohan our laundry and I didn’t realise I had left a substantial amount of Euro (€) in my pocket, which Rohan then called me to let me know and gave me back all the money. I really appreciated that. The shower was gorgeous and plenty of hot water. The shower gel smelled lovely. The bed’s were very comfortable and spacious.

Sri LankaMinor issue: hot water runs out during long showers.
Beautiful cottages overlooking the Gregory Lake. We stayed at the Aberlour cottage which had all the necessary amenities. Clean and spacious. Comfy warm beds. Perfect fit for a family of five. The friendly manager Mr. Rohan went out of his way to help us make the most of our one night stay in Nuwara Eliya. Also gotta mention the two cuties (owner's cats). Cleo is my favorite. It's our second time at Lakeside Cottages and it's still exceptional. We'll definitely come back here again.

IndiaThe property is pristine, it is exactly as it looks in the pictures. The cottage has everything (large bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, full kitchen, fire place) that you would need for a great and comfortable stay. mr. Roshan was always available on the phone (even at 5:00 AM when we had to call him as their was power cut). Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Glenfiddich cottage. The view of Gregory Lake and the charming front garden were simply breathtaking. The cottage itself was so cozy and homely, making it the perfect retreat for our two-day stay. Special thanks to Mr. Shiva for his exceptional culinary skills – every meal was a delight! We're also incredibly thankful for Mr. Rohan, the friendly manager, who made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an unforgettable getaway in Nuwara Eliya, and we can't recommend Lakeside cottages enough.

MalaysiaThis isnt a big issue, but since the water heater is small, you need to give a 15-20min gap before the next person showers.
Loved this little cottage, the beautiful garden and view outside. Its a 2 floor cottage with the kitchen and living area down and 3 rooms +2 bathrooms upstairs. The manager and caretaker were very attentive. However need to note that there isnt a reception or lobby area. You would need to contact them when you arrive.

Sri LankaJust that we were checking in around 7.30Pm and had to carry our luggage’s and bags all the way up by our self to the cottage climbing tiny rocky stairs from parking place. It was really uncomfortable at checking in as we all were tired after travaling some distance. Same scenario when checking out as well. Cottage manager Rohan was really help full but he has no one to assist when someone checking in or out I believe.
Great cottage with necessary amenities to spent time with your family. Quite and clean.

Sri LankaAbsolutely nothing.
One of the best experiences I’ve had. lakeside cottages is just the place to stay when and if you visit Nuwara Eliya. situated just near the Gregaries lake to give you the most soothing feelings. the benefit of this beautiful place is that it make you feel like your home and not on vacation. you got your own kitchen, living area, 3bedrooms and bathrooms to actually make you happy and truly enjoy every bit of it. We were welcomed by Mr. Rohan who is the manager and always looked into our comfort from the moment of arrival. Frinsley the supervisor is friendly and always has a smile on his face and always cautious about our wants and needs and not forgetting Raja, who you can always count on to get things done if needed. all around I would definitely say a great experience and is definitely my go to place from now on when visiting Nuwara Eliya.
