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.).

QatarThere was no usual tea, coffee & sugar with cups inside the room.
Magnificent view from our very spacious family room with clean toilet and comfortable beds. This property is run by a family so you can expect a very personal service from the owner & his lovely family who are very kind, friendly and generous. Greeted us with smiles and welcome drinks upon arrival. He even went out of his way to help us find a place for our driver to sleep during our stay. Hospitality was impeccable, there was New Year treats spread at the dining area for all guests. Staff are also friendly, helpful and respectful. We will definitely book this property again whenever we are in Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommended hotel 10/10.

Even tho it is a restaurant our booking said no breakfast option, but we didn't aşk. , sndvthere is nowhere nearby. wner did make us a pot of tea whilst arranging a taxi for us though. No tv in room but probably could have used one downstairs .Don't follow the directions on Booking.com , use google maps!

Sri LankaLocation is quite good, only 10 minutes walk to reach the lake (taking a shortcut). Please be aware that on the way back to the hotel you will need to walk uphill or eventually call a TukTuk. Room was clean! Bed was really comfortable. Fresh fruit for breakfast, best to pre order any meals in advance and agree on a time. The Host was really kind and helpful.. he almost managed to get us train tickets to Ella last-minute. Average price for our stay. External laundry service available.

Sri LankaHad an amazing time at "Terrabella - Nuwara Eliya"! Aruna, the host, was so friendly and really made sure the rooms were clean. Staying there felt like being welcomed into a home away from home, and my family and I relished every moment. Despite being new, the property exudes charm and warmth thanks to Aruna's creative touch in design and his culinary prowess. The breakfast was a delightful fusion of Sri Lankan and continental flavors, showcasing Aruna's mastery in the kitchen. Its convenient location, just a short drive from the city center and within walking distance to Gregory Lake, makes it an ideal choice for travelers.

GermanyYou can't see the lake from the ground floor.
It is probably the cleanest hotel in the whole of Sri Lanka. Very cosy, there is even carpet on the floor, which is very important as it is quite cold. Excellent dinner, everything is fresh, tasty and the portion is huge.

CanadaThe view from our rooms was amazing & the beds were so comfortable. Aruna & the staff were so friendly & accommodating. He was quick to accommodate a wonderful tour to the tea factory & waterfall. They picked us up from the train station (even though we were late!). The food was so delicious - one of our favourite breakfasts & local curries, for sure!

GermanyThis place was absolutely gorgeous. We loved everything. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the owner helped us booking train tickets. The breakfast was good and when we started our tour early in the morning we got a breakfast package. The city centre was a little bit further away, but the lake was very close. There also is a nice view over the lake and the mountains. Would definitely recommend!

SwitzerlandAs discussed with the owner, Nuwara Eliya is very cold, and unfortunately during the night the rooms were cold as well. The thing that I can suggest is to buy thicker blankets (like comforters) and maybe turn on a heating in the living room during the evening.
Host and stuff very kind and helpful. The location was a little bit far from the center, but very quiet and with a nice view! Delicious food and the room was very clean and perfumed.
