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.).

United KingdomThis is a very special place to stay. As soon as you arrive you're offered a drink and the most delicious cake. The cabana was amazing, especially the bathroom (wow!). Most importantly, Roshan made our night here very special, from laying a beautiful table to serving great food. He also organised a 3 hour tuk tuk tour around for us, which took in a tea factory and local sights - it was great. This is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway. We highly recommend it.

FranceOnly because I need to find something to say, the ventilation of the bathroom should be with a switch on/off to enjoy a bath with absolute silence. But nothing disturbing
The staff is 100% dedicated to you, the building is just amazing, the views from everywhere, and moreover the surroundings of the house (nice garden, koï pond), the bathtub is also a delight

United KingdomUnfortunately there was extremely noisy music until late in the morning, loud barking all night and early market. Of course this is just the nature of the local area but we weren't aware with the information provided on booking.com so we struggled to sleep.
The staff were absolutely faultless. We couldn't have received a walmer welcome. The cabana is beautiful and wel thought out and the food was delicious. The gentleman looking after us even gave recommendations for our next stop.

United Arab EmiratesThis villa is the best i had in Sri Lanka, whether it is the architectural design of the wooden cabin or the warm furnishings inside, it made me feel like home in the somewhat cool mountains. Also the food presentation is very well designed, especially it's for free.

United KingdomOur stay at The Edgware Cabana was such a luxury! The place is beautiful, great views, and feels like a home away from home, but better! The team went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay, giving us all the tips and recommendations not only on Nuwara Eliya but also other places in Sri Lanka. Our breakfast and dinner were served in the cabana and were very good, they always decorated the table and were so attentive to every little detail. I can't recommend this place enough!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Edgware Cabana. The Manager Malinda was an exceptional host, he greeted us on arrival and provided us with drinks and fresh cakes, which were greatly appreciated after a long car journey. The Cabana itself was beautiful and a lot larger than expected. Malinda and the staff made sure to set the ambience in the Cabana before every meal. Each meal was freshly prepared, and it felt like we were eating restaurant quality food in the comfort of our room. Malinda was accessible via WhatsApp at all times. This was one of the best customer service experience I have ever had and will be sure to book again, if I am lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka again.

TurkeyA very minor point, but there are small gaps between the bottoms of the doors and the floors. The owners should install small rubber piping or similar at the bottom of the doors to prevent water from getting in (it was very rainy during our stay and some water did get in on the floor near the door as a result.
The food was very good and the property is unique. The manager picked us up and dropped us off from the train station for a small fee, which was very convenient. It is a really cozy and original place to spend time in Nuwara Eliya. It is also conveniently located and the manager had some good recommendations for places to visit in town.

We experienced a warm welcome in this special hotel. We liked it very much in the separate house, the Cabana. We were pampered all around. Already on our arrival we were served fine fruit juice and delicious cake. Tuk-tuk and taxis were organised for us and we were given the best information about everything we were interested in. They spared no effort to make us very happy: a durian was bought especially for us, as we had never eaten one before, and our laundry was washed for free (the delicate textiles even by hand). Also in terms of food, they left nothing to be desired: Inusha asked what we liked and what we didn't eat and cooked accordingly (also regarding the spiciness of the food). We looked forward to every meal because the food was super tasty. The Curry with the several different side dishes was the best we ever had in our 4 weeks Sri Lanka journey. We are very happy that we stayed in such a great house with best service on our Sri Lanka trip. Thank you very much for everything!

IndonesiaStaff - friendly, super attentive to details, down to earth and make hosting you seem a pleasure. Food- absolutely 💯 incredible. From the fresh produce, to great choices, lots of fruits and vegetables, stunning attention to details on their presentations. The fact it was delivered and setup in the cabana just made this an unforgettable setup. Candle lit dinner was the best meal & setup we had during our whole stay in Sri Lanka. Room - beautifully constructed, no expenses spared, no cutting corners. Quality products have been used to create beautiful rooms, all just stunning,no details forgotten. Beautiful furniture, felt very special and bespoke. Garden- landscape was well maintained, beautiful flowers, trees and bushes. Other - thank for you arranging the lodgings and food for our driver too! Activities- nice and quiet area,but still nice walk to mall, park, markets and the old post office nearby. Keep doing what you do , lovely to see such a beautiful spot , staff with smiles on their faces every time. Thank you for the fruit and delicious sandwich for our drive back to Colombo

It’s a unique property, just few steps away from all the buzz. Cabana is truly amazing, every little detail is thought through. Gorgeous bathroom, with bathtub overlooking the little town and the mountains. Facilities- top class! Better than some 5* Hotels. But all of that would be nothing, without amazing Host, who met us with a biggest smile and was there every time we needed something. Food set up, quality is out of this world. Malinda, keep up good work! And we hope to see you soon.
