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.).

Wewtburry Nuwara Eliya offers a warm welcome with attentive staff, exquisite gourmet cuisine, and impeccable facilities. The well-maintained rooms boast spacious and pristine bathrooms with indulgent tubs, ensuring a luxurious stay. The personalized service goes above and beyond, as exemplified when our daughter fell ill; the staff's extra efforts to ensure her comfort were truly commendable. Conveniently situated near tea gardens and the hill club, the location enhances the overall experience. An evening highlight was a private Christmas movie screening in the cozy living space, adding a special touch to our memorable stay at Wewtburry Nuwara Eliya. A special thanks to Suraj, Nihal, and Gamini for their exceptional service at Wewtburry Nuwara Eliya. Their dedication enhanced our stay, making it truly memorable. We're grateful for their personalized care. Without a doubt, we'll enthusiastically recommend this place to others, thanks to the outstanding hospitality provided by the staff, creating a positive and lasting impression.

United KingdomUpon arrival we were greeted by name and received a cup of tea with the check in process fast and efficient. Suraj and Gaming were always available to help with anything we needed, likewise Yaso was our butler who was always on hand to provide water, towels etc to our room. The food was incredible, something you would expect of a 5 star hotel in London. Pushparaj the chef at the Westbury put together a wonderful festive 4 course Christmas dinner in the dining room. The service was excellent! We missed breakfast as we wanted to lie in one morning & the staff brought the breakfast to our room (waffles, pancakes, eggs, fruit) similarly if we wanted to take the pastries away they would box them up for us.

United Arab Emirates1. We had a wonderful stay at The Westbury Palace. The place looks amazing with a beautiful garden and luxurious interior. It’s a peaceful place in a very convenient location and walking distance to the city. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The Staff were kind, attentive and very helpful. Overall we had the best experience we have ever had at Nuwara Eliya. The whole credit should goes the The Westbury Palace team for maintaining nearly a 170 years old building up to this standard. It's Wonderful indeed! Also, we all very much enjoyed the Out door heated pool which is hardly could find something in this nature in any other place around Nuwara Eiya. It's simply Amazing! Can't forget the their fully equipped gym and the SPA with Sauna which we experienced at and extra cost but very much worth the price! The staff also was very professional , flexible and helpful at all the times from the check in to the check out. It’s a magic place where we stopped for one night but we would recommend even more. The personal, all the team is amazing and gives us very good memories of our trip. The breakfast was the best one we had during our stay.

IndiaMy husband and I were here for 2 days, and both those days were the best time of our lives. Westbury's hospitality right from when we entered the property to literally the time we exited, was top notch! Manoj, Nalindran, Pushparajan, Benedict, Mathushan and so many others whose names I'm forgetting right now, serviced us with the highest regard. The reason why this place is so special to us is BECAUSE of the staff and their positive approach to every little requirement of ours. Food - Dont even get me started. We were feeling homesick and wanted to have some Indian food. The chef made dishes that were honestly better than most places we have had at, here in India! Italian, continental, french, pan asian, and of course, sri lankan.. name any cuisine, and they'll make it to perfection. Cleanliness and Hygiene - The place was extremely spick and span during our stay and the staff was wearing their masks at all times. Staff - One of the heartiest, warmest, and generous bunch of staff we have ever come across. They truly made us feel welcome throughout our stay. A small incident occurred 2 days after we had checked out of Westbury. I realized (only after they called us to inform us) that I had left my macbook back at their property. Mind you, at this point, we were almost 300kms away from Westbury. The manager Mr. Manoj was so kind enough to offer to help us. He sent one of his own staff members on a bus journey to us, immediately, and had it sent to us. I mean, what property does this? I have no words left for them.. All in all, this place is a MUST VISIT if you're in Nuwara Eliya or even Sri Lanka for that matter. All the very best guys, you are doing a fab job! keep it up!!
