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.).

QatarStunning property — there are 6 chalets and 1 family bungalow nestled among a 22-acre tea plantation, a walking path, lots of flowers and trees and right by the Castlereigh Reservoir. My elderly parents and I had a very comfortable 2-night stay in the family bungalow. The staff are friendly! We had several meals on-site during our stay; breakfast and lunch served outdoors with incredible views and dinner served in a cozy dining room. My fave was kayaking on Castlereigh Reservoir — extremely serene and peaceful! Absolutely nothing to complain about, everything was wonderful!

United KingdomNothing - we loved everything.
The views are spectacular and the staff are so kind, efficient and attentive. Raj in particular was excellent! We loved how quiet it was here and the food was also very good. It is not a 5 star hotel but if you’re looking for clean, comfortable, private and personal then this is the place.

SingaporeSmall things could be easily improves such as reading lights for both sides of the bed. Important to highlight that alcohol was not on the menu - however, our butler was able to send someone to town (we visited during the Poya holiday in which alcohol was not available). For the price and as a destination holiday, we would have hoped that some of the activities on the property would have been included in the rate (kayaks & bikes).
By far, the best feature of the property were the views from the chalets. We had the good fortune of staying in Chalet 6, which I believe was the quietest and had THE BEST VIEW. The changing sunlight throughout the day provided a constantly evolving backdrop for relaxing on our generous blacony. Food met our expectations with a good variety of local and western options. The included breakfasts were generous and really delicious - esp the Sri Lankan options (ALWAYS opt for the Sri Lankan breakfast) The weather was great which allowed us to take out meals outdoors or indoors. The outdoors views, were again, amazing. Our butler, Yoga, was attentive and eager to ensure our comfort. The entire staff was helpful and friendly.

GermanyTogether with a groups of friends, we‘ve shared the Family Chalet and absolutely loved it. The scenery is incredible and the resort feels really calming. We’ve very much enjoyed eating at the restaurant and having breakfast outside with an amazing view! The service and staff have been great and we‘re already planning our next stay at The Farm Resorts.

LuxembourgThe wifi did not work a lot of the time. I think the price was way to high for the value, great hotel but too pricey.
Really beautiful hotel with excellent service and an amazing view. The view from the balcony was the absolute highlight of the stay. The calm and beauty of the tea plantation was great. We had a private butler who did an amazing job. The food was excellent, especially the dinner. There a not much activities to do around, we did kayak which was nice. The bed was really comfortable. The manager was kind and explained a lot about the resort and the tea plugging in the resort, very interesting.

ItalyThere are not many activities to do around and the few are overpriced. The lake in front is not like in the picture but very dirty.
The farm resort is nicely located in the middle of the tea plantation and you have a nice view on the reservoir from your room. Garden and rooms are nice, big clean and comfortable.

United Kingdomthe reservoir was quite dirty with floating litter and trash all along the bank (not a reflection on Farm Resorts because it’s not only their fault). Besides for kayaking and bike hire the only other thing to do at the property is eat and sleep so it was a bit boring.
The staff (particularly Raju) we’re excellent and couldn’t do enough for us - the setting was also really lovely overlooking the reservoir.

Netherlandssadly the price we paid isn’t proportional to the quality. we spent way less for other comparable places in the country. I think that to keep the current night rate, the place really need to invest in a more modern room decor and new furniture for the whole complex.
location is great (if you come for the lake bear in mind that during dry season it looks completely different form the photos). staff is super welcoming and kind. very good food quality and broad choice. kayaking was fun.

RussiaA small minus is that the restaurant works for breakfast and then opens for dinner at 6.30 pm. Just keep it in mind.
Everything was great! Amazing views and landscapes, beauty of the lake and tea fields, quietness and fresh air, excellent service. We had bungalow with lake view. It was very comfortable and cosy, every detail has been carefully thought out, including umbrellas and delicious tea and coffee. The meal was very good although not cheap. It’s one of the best hotels I have been to.
