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.).

IndiaNot that we didn't have a problem with it, the immediate approach road is a bit old.
We stayed here for a night on our stopover from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. We wanted to get the true tea garden experience and this place completely satisfied our requirements. It is a quaint cottage nestled in the tea gardens. We reached around 5 pm after sightseeing in Nuwara Eliya, we were served tea on the balcony which was lovely. Since this is a B&B and we were feeling too lazy to go out for dinner, the host helped us in placing a delivery order. We had breakfast the next morning, which was good and had morning tea on the balcony again before checking out. An extremely sweet gesture made by the host was gifting us tea bags.

BelgiumThere is not much we did not like. The bathroom would need a bit TLC, as it’s below standard compared to the rest of the property.
We liked almost everything about this property. But what makes it truly exceptional is the staff. They have arranged our train tickets even before we arrived to Ella, took us to meet the ladies working in the tea field nearby and special thanks go to Shameer who is really a role mode for anyone working in the hospitality industry. He spoke the best english of all of the ppl we met in Sri Lanka which allowed us to have interesting conversations and he kept us well informed on restaurants, tours and means of transport. The villa is a bit remote so you can’t really walk anywhere on your own but that gives you the space to really relax in a peaceful setting. They’ve made breakfast at our liking every morning and those two nights staying there helped us re-charge and continue our journey. Would return to stay there anytime.

United KingdomThis is the nicest place we have stayed in Sri Lanka The room was stunning and completely spotless. The property is surrounded by tea plantations and we were treated to a lovely morning walk through the plantation after breakfast on the last day of our stay. Breakfast is really tasty and we particularly enjoyed the tea. The manager could not have been more helpful, recommending a brilliant restaurant for us, and also organising a driver to take us to all the sites we wanted to see at a very reasonable price. As we were checking out we were given a lovely gift of Sri Lanka tea which we are enjoying on the rest of our trip. Can't recommend this property enough.

United KingdomThe property is very slightly out of town. The weather was cold and wet whilst we were in Nuwara Eliya (unusually so) so we found the property a bit cold, although a heater was provided.
The property is actually 2 houses and each one has a living area which incudes settees and dining table. They are both very pretty and well appointed. The staff were extremely helpful.
