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.).

NetherlandsCommunication amongst staff could be improved. Twice I was told to come up at a certain time for dinner/breakfast and both times I was then told the kitchen was closed. Communication with me went a bit chaotic, although everyone was really friendly and ready to help out. Quality of the breakfast could be improved.
The room was lovely. Great bed. Nice and quiet.

United KingdomThe hotel is not well maintained. It needs massive refurbishment. ( room sade could not be opened, one of the bedside lams was broken, and there was no remote for the TV). Though the bathroom is clean, the standard needs to be much better. If the hotelmis is not maintained well, then the future ratings will be much lower.
Location since it's is right at the end of pekoe trail stage 3. Excellent staff. Comfortable bed and clean toilet. Very enjoyable short complementary tour of the tea factory Locally cooked excellent sri lankan breakfast. Value for money

Sri LankaTV was available, but had only 2 channels. I wish there is a proper restaurant with more meal options. Missed a morning wake up tea to the room, which some of the hotels provide.
Very comfortable bed and clean room. Clean and spacious bathroom with hot water. Quiet and peaceful. Lot of garden space outside for walks.

Sri LankaUnclean linen with stains. There was a cockroach in the bathroom and inside a drawer. Lights were blinking in the bathroom and as soon as the tap was open, an army of ants came out. The other bathroom had a missing piece from the ceiling Bathroom wasn’t well maintained or clean Receptionist doesn’t pick up the phone promptly. WiFi connection was average but there was no connection in the morning hours.
Tea factory tour and tea tasting were amazing. Our guide Pushpika gave us a well detailed explanation and made our stay very knowledgeable and unforgettable. Morning views were lovely.

Sri LankaThe hotel needs to be a little more functional. Eg ground floor. Looks deserted. Also we got a family room and provided only two towels and two glasses. Some of the toilet doors are not lockable. Even you told the staff they didn’t make an action. They should make the windows bigger so we can enjoy the views more from the room.
The place is so good for people who does the pekoe trail stage 3. The hotel road is part of pekoe trail so it’s easy. The food was really tasty and staff is super friendly. I think the best experience you get is the tea factory visit, estate visit where you have to dress up like a tea plucker and they teach you what leaf to pick. Then the chocolate tasting. Had a chat with the chef. Very friendly and let us taste few chcoloate flavors. The flavors u never had before. There is ginger cardamom. And lot of different flavors. I love the whole experience as a local. I am sure a foreigner would love these more. And let’s not forget the recreational place. Pool, carrom, table tennis. We had so much fun. Forgot we did a long hike. Oh forgot about the stunning views you get. It’s very picturesque.

NetherlandsUnfortunately the dinner-and-breakfast-choices were quite marginale, but that was maybe because of low season.
Very surprised in a good way. It's unbelievable that there are not more people staying there. The hotel is right on the Pekoe trail, which is nice after a full day hiking. The price is very good compared to several other accommodations in the area and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is helpful and welcoming and the free your around the tea factory was very educational.
