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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

ItalyWe had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The property is comfortable, very clean, and truly beautiful. The heated bed made all the difference, as Nuwara Eliya can get quite chilly at times. Breakfast was excellent, tasty and plentiful, and the staff were always kind, attentive, and helpful. A truly pleasant stay that I would highly recommend!

NetherlandsNot any remarks at all!
This is a great place up in the mountains, and it gets really nice and cool late at night. The room is so beautiful you never want to leave. We've never seen such a huge bathroom! The four-poster bed is gorgeous, and the whole place feels cozy and homey. The area for breakfast and dinner felt like a big living room, with amazing wooden furniture everywhere. It's the perfect mix of peaceful and stylish. The staff—Sanjeeva, Sanjeet, and Geeth—were super professional and helpful. Basically, we'll definitely be coming back!

Czech Republicwonderful accommodation with fantastic staff and servis. Big, clean rooms, excellent breakfast and dinner. Mostly the staff really tried to accommodate us in everything, they arranged a tour of the tea plantations, offered us better rooms with a view to keep us happy without mentioning anything, the surprise was a pack to go with sandwiches and fruit. We felt really great here and have nice memories of our stay

New ZealandHaving come from warmer weather in Sigiriya the temperature had definitely dropped, it would have been good to have some extra blankets available in the room. They do provide electric blankets but am not a fan of these (they did provide for the second night). We would have appreciated if the staff had been more available, we were playing cards one night in the lounge area but no one come up to check if we needed anything. wanted to order any nibbles, or offer refills for ice. Would have been good if they had offered to put on some music to add some ambience. Perhaps didn't want to intrude?
This is a lovely property with a beautiful woodwork staircase and statement pieces in in the common spaces. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. Breakfasts were very good.

SwitzerlandOne single improvement l: it was quite cold when we were there and more thick linen would have been great.
Great food, for breakfast & dinner. Soooo friendly & helpful people. Organized twice tuk tuk into town and next day to train station. Helped us with train information/organization. They gave us a free upgrade which we highly appreciated. Great beds, furniture, bath. You can make it darknin the room, which was great for sleeping longer in the morning.

United Arab EmiratesAbsolutely wonderful property. Had no complains, so relaxing and comfortable stay. The property is on the Main Badulla road, but a bit away from town, about 5mins by car, which was okay for us as it helped us wind down by sunset, and the property became quite cozy with no external sounds or bright lights.

Sri LankaAtulya is a work of art. The architecture lends itself to the landscape and is so well appointed that one can't but be enchanted. Our spacious room was comfortably furnished and heated blankets a huge plus! The staff was also fantastic. Everything we need was taken care of thoroughly and mealtime service was perfect. Lots of delicious food and coffee. Mr. Sajith saw to every detail. We definitely recommend and will return!

AustraliaShould have some games or cards. A bit of maintenance around the place wouldn’t go astray. Road noise is loud but you are on a main road.They do not serve alcohol but they are happy for you to bring your own. A 10 minute tuk tuk into town.
Room was big and the bathroom was lovely. Bath took a bit of getting in and out but we soon figured it out. View was lovely watching the mist and fog roll in.

United StatesEveryone is very friendly, but the staff setup is unusual: no one introduced themselves to us upon our arrival, and the common areas are generally empty, so there's not necessarily anyone around if you need something. Also, there is some road noise. Something in the bathroom smelled pretty bad, but we're hoping they'll fix that for future guests.
Overall, a great stay. Best breakfasts we had in Sri Lanka (try the dal with milk rice and onion sambal). So happy to have a bathtub and heated blankets on chilly evenings. The room was huge, as were the common areas. The property is on the main road, but there's a sweet garden -- and if you take a walk in the other direction, you're quickly in the quiet of the tea plantations. There were some odd features (see below), but overall, we were very happy here.

Beautiful property with really excellent food and helpful staff. It was a slightly odd feeling as we were the only guests (well - another couple turned up very late that night) but the room was amazing with very high quality finishes and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Did I mention how good the food was?! It had to be ordered in advance but was very good value
