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 staff are super sweet and lovely. They were always helping us out with everything and they were taking care of us like family. The room is spacious, modern and clean with a fan.

LatviaThe road up there was quite challenging, especially with the Tuk Tuk so it would be to contact the hosts to get the best directions to get up there. It is quite remote so prepare everything you may need in advance. But it's meant like the advice, not a minus of the villa.
What a place! Once you get up there you'll be rewarded with the most amazing view up in the mountains, fresh air, and a relaxing swim in the pool. It's so calm, that you'll forget about all the bustle that stays behind just a few km away. The best place for both the sunrise and the sunset. And, of course, the room and the villa itself were very comfortable. The hosts were also very welcoming.

AustraliaNo complaints. They only take cash, so that would be my only thing to note.
I loved the view and the pool. The service was impeccable with the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had a welcome drink and when arranging dinner they suggested to have it on our balcony and carried a wooden table up a flight of stairs. We placed our food order with Jehan over whatsapp and anything we needed he responded promptly. Breakfast was amazing. We shared the Sri Lankana and Westerm Breakfast. It was all super tasty and the chicken curry has to be the best we've had in three weeks. Rooms were spacious and clean with a kettle, balcony and a fan and the shower was great. Good pressure and hot water. I highly recommend this place and the staff.

AustraliaNothing short of exceptional! A scenic route to the hotel and a scenic location! Was met by the hotel managers and owner with respect and kindness and can not fault their customer service. The rooms were spacious for 2 people and there were plenty of area to walk around to enjoy the garden, pool, and the view of the mountains. Breakfast was delicious and dinner was sensational from the rooftop balcony. The perfect quiet place to stay if you're travelling to Kandy as the drive from the hotel is under 30 minutes.

NetherlandsI recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The accommodation is superb, featuring a stunning pool and incredible views. Despite the ongoing development/construction of the hotel, are the available rooms comfortable with excellent beds. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they go above and beyond to assist you. Rushil, in particular, is attentive to your needs and always willing to help. Overall, I highly recommend it!

All our requests were managed perfectly, the manager even went for an extra bottle of wine for us. Rooms are clean, bathroom also clean, good shower, which was very important to us. Comfy beds.

NetherlandsIf I would have to come up with an improvement is that the rain from the upper floor falls down on the balcony rail on my level which made some sounds. I fixed it by placing a towel on the rail so the water stopped making sounds. It was a minor issue for me!
Arrived here for two nights as a solo traveler, the staff member are exceptionally friendly and care a lot about their service and quality of delivery. Both boys are young but very intelligent and highly easy going, had amazing deep conversations with them! They even showed me around the tea factory and offered to join on a hike (free of charge). The room has a great size and everything was brand new as the hotel opened recently. The food was very tasty and highly affordable!

Amazing house and rooms! Very calm place far from the streets. The owner is very nice and hepful. He doesn't speak English too much, but we got everything that we needed and he even provided a free laundry service! The breakfast was very generous, he kept bringing different food and it was way too much, so next time we did eat dinner only 🙈

Sri LankaNestled atop a scenic mountain peak, this property offers breathtaking views of the Ambuluwawa temple from a distance. In the morning, the landscape is adorned with a captivating display of clouds and fog, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. While the access road may pose a challenge, the journey is undoubtedly worth the effort. The rooms are impeccably maintained, providing a comfortable and clean retreat. The panoramic view from the rooms is simply stunning. The owner, a friendly and retired finance professional, adds a personal touch to the hospitality. This property is owned and managed by a warm and welcoming family. Undoubtedly, the highlight is the spectacular view from the rooftop, offering an unparalleled vantage point. Overall, my stay was a delightful experience, characterized by beautiful surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and genuine hospitality.
