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.).

AustraliaOur stay at Brockenhurst Bungalow was nothing short of amazing. The property is full of old-world charm, beautifully maintained, and set in a peaceful, scenic location. The rooms were cozy and elegant, with just the right mix of heritage and comfort. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — warm, attentive, and always ready to help. The garden was a true highlight, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the cool climate. Overall, a truly memorable experience. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, luxurious getaway in the heart of Nuwara Eliya

Saudi ArabiaIt is the first time for us in Sri Lanka. The manager, the cook, and the villa team were so helpful. The breakfast was delicious, and they prepared a chicken and fish barbecue. Our stay was fabulous, and we plan to come again with our extended family. Wi-Fi is on and off sometimes.

BermudaA bit tricky to find so some signage on the way/by the entrance would be useful. WiFi was very slow, almost non-existent at times; not sure if that is due to the location or a poor provider. Plumbing was a bit too 1950s for a high end property.
Cosy Victorian-era house that looks like it was transported from England. Large bedrooms, sizeable dining room, and comfortable sitting room with fire place. The staff kindly lit us a fire and also brought in a Christmas tree for us to decorate. Well maintained garden with a lawn area large enough for some non-regulation cricket and badminton. We arrived late one evening but they made a barbecue for us. The Sri Lankan dinner they made for us was excellent.

New ZealandWe recently stayed at this beautiful bungalow with our friends, and it was ideal for our group of 11 persons. The stunning views, well-equipped heritage bungalow, and the outdoor BBQ with bonfire area were all highlights of our stay. Conveniently located near attractions and the main town, it had everything we needed.

United Arab EmiratesA return visit to this charming colonial bungalow after a few years was just as delightful as I remembered! The rooms are clean and comfortable as always, and the fireplace added a cozy touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service of Waruna was very very good! Ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is excellent; within easy walking distance to Nuwara Eliya city and surrounded by so much to do in the neighborhood. I completely enjoyed my stay.

AustraliaThis Colonial Bungalow exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. It is centrally located in Nuwara Eliya town in a quite area and it has a large well kept garden. The location made it convenient for us to explore the area. The cozy fireplace added a touch of warmth, especially during the rainy weather. The bungalow is spacious enough for group up to 12 guests, and the colonial-style architecture gave it a unique charm. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a memorable experience in central hills of the country. Nuwara Eliya can be quite chilly in the night hence warm clothes are recommended.

United KingdomThey did not accept card payment (I think they did not want to) which is bizarre given the price of this accommodation per night (we paid $427 in local currency). There was a dog that is kept in the kitchen at night which is not really speaking of hygiene. Kitchen was not clean and we did not use it as much as we planned. Kitchen is also used by staff which was odd. The rest of the bungalow was spick and span and clean, but kitchen was completely the opposite.
Great location, as expected, a real British era bungalow almost unchanged, very cosy. Good and helpful staff. Great place to relax.
