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.).

IrelandThere is only one lift for the guests which isn’t very practical considering the hotel size!
Staff were lovely and very helpful, particularly Ayesha who looked after us so well during our stay. She was a pleasure at breakfast and dinner each day. Hotel grounds are stunning particularly the gardens, rooftop bar and the pool. The setting of the hotel within the mountains is beautiful and the views can be enjoyed in the dining room and throughout the resort. We got treatments in the spa and would highly recommend. The therapist was great. Also thanks to Moses who looked after us at check-in. Room was spacious for 3 people.

Wow best value for money. We got a personal number of one of the employees and he answered all of our questions in a minute. The food court was unbelievable and rich, the stuff was amazing. There is an indoor swimming pool and a kids area - just perfect. We would love to recommend it to anyone.

United KingdomRoom - nothing special but there was a funny old smell that did not let me sleep in peace. There was no AC or fan in the room and ended up asking for a fan at 3am for air circulation. Staff in Sackvilla were very polite and nice but did not have much knowledge about the food they were serving.
Location is good. Property itself is brilliant. Loved the pool and the recreational building. Walking around in the property was quite pleasing. Breakfast was quite good too.

United KingdomThe buffet is over priced- go to the A La Carte Restaurant instead, it’s much cheaper.
Staff were fantastic on arrival and throughout. The hotel is spectacular. The swimming pool is on the top floor and looks out over the mountains. We also really liked the A La Carte restaurant, great value for money!

United KingdomThis property DOES NOT have aircon despite it being in my filters when hotel searching and in my booking.com room amenities. The temperature does drop in the evening (April), but aircon would be an improvement. The old part of the hotel is a stark different to the modern build, but we were satisfied with the room.
Brilliant selection of food that varied daily. The grounds are SENSATIONAL - my goodness they absolutely make the stay! Attentive staff. We often had the rooftop bar to ourselves all morning to be in the sun. The pool could be busy, but often we had it to ourselves. There’s plenty to do in town and the hotel provides complimentary driver’s accommodation too which is brilliant. Lovely little leaving treats too when we checked out which was a nice touch.

United KingdomSadly the sauna/steam facilities were out of use during our visit. One small suggestion - could you make an adult only time at the pool? Otherwise everything fantastic, would really recommend!
Amazing location and views. Rooms beautiful with fantastic gardens to walk around and pool to use. Very comfortable bedrooms with cosy fire and dressing gowns. Breakfast was fantastic, definitely go if you get the chance! Also had a lovely evening meal in the Sackville restaurant. All staff were very accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay special. They also organised Tuk Tuk and taxi to local train station at very reasonable price.

AustraliaBeautiful heated pool with a stunning view. It got busy in the evening so we recommend going in the morning or afternoon. The breakfast and dinner buffet certainly had the most variety of all buffets we tried in Sri Lanka and they have a great view to go with it. Highly recommend the walk through the small village across the road from the hotel. The locals were friendly and gives you a better feel for how and where they live. Great hospitality at Golden Ridge as always in Sri Lanka.

The grounds, building and views are amazing! The indoor swimming pool was serene - perfect temperature and enjoyed stunning viewing outside. The staff are incredibly attentive and they made it extra special for my mum’s 60th birthday. They made a lovely birthday cake and surprised us at dinner which was special. The buffet was very good, lots of choice and quality of food was excellent! Would 100% recommend if you are stopping by Nuwara Eliya as it’s their perfect stop over hotel :)

IndiaBooking.com confirmation wrongly mentioned check-out anytime till 23:59 which led us to believe we could have a check out later than the typical practice of noon.
The quadruple room was just as shown in the picture. The extra large double bed and two single beds provided a very comfortable layout to sleep with children in one room. Beds were comfy, breakfast layout had a lot of variety and was delicious. The indoor heated pool is a good feature.

The staff were incredible, they looked after our every need. They were extra eyes on the children in the pool and played hide and seek with our toddler when we were waiting for our meal. Everything was great, they even had children’s plates and cutlery at breakfast. They gave us takeaway containers at breakfast to make sure we had lunch for the children. Beautiful location, tucked away in a pretty part of town but close enough to the city and Victoria gardens. We will definitely be coming again!!
