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.).

SloveniaHikers holiday home is located on top of a hill overlooking the city. It was clean, with a lot of space, and comfortable beds. The host, Eranga, was extremely kind and helpful and we cannot thank him enough for his friendly service. He picked us up from the train station in Nanu Oya with a tuktuk, took us to a nearby waterfall, and also came to pick us up multiple times when we went to the city centre. When we arrived the family served us some very nice tea and cookies and gave us breakfast in the morning even though it wasn't even included in the price. Unfortunately, we were very unlucky with the weather so the place wasn't as pretty as it probably is when there is not so many clouds and mist and you can actually enjoy the views. It was quite cold, also in the house, but the family gave us really warm blankets that were perfect for the cold night.

PeruWe had a wonderful stay here. The property is lovely and the views are incredible. The hosts are absolutely fantastic! Eranga in particular was amazing - he picked us up from the train even though we arrived late at night, brought us snacks, tea and breakfast and took us out on a tour all day of various sites around Nuwara Eliya. He was so kind and really made the stay special. We also met his dad who was so friendly and it was wonderful to learn more about Sri Lankan life from them. Would absolutely recommend staying here to anybody!!!

SpainWe really liked the natural surroundings. The son of the family, who helped us with everything, made getting to the city center effortless, even though we were on a mountain. He helped us in every way possible, brought us snacks for breakfast, and took us around the city in his tuk-tuk. We highly recommend it if you're looking to experience the culture up close. The house is very well-equipped and has everything you need to fully enjoy your stay.

SpainNothing. Everything is perfect.
The charming house of Eranga is located in a beautiful garden and on the edge of a tea plantation. The views from the garden and the living room are tremendous; the location is truly stunning. You can enjoy the surrounding landscape while sitting on the comfortable sofa in the living room, having a cup of tea. You walk to town through a beautiful path that leads through the tea plantation. The house is a little gem, but what really stands out are the people that built it. Eranga and his parents live right next door and we can honestly say that they are the kindest people we met in whole Sri Lanka. They are simply the best! Eranga picked us up several times with his Tuk-Tuk, showed us around town, brought us tea, pancakes and snacks, organized drivers for us and even accompanied us on a hike (a beautiful day!), all out of honest kindness. If you want to know what Sri Lankan hospitality looks like, you simply have to come to this place! We learnt a lot about life in Sri Lanka from talking to Eranga and his dad. Don’t forget to visit the shop of Eranga’s mum near the lake for some tea and some fried potatos, delicious! And don’t get scared off by the stairs leading to the house, they are really not that bad!

EgyptWe had a lovely stay in Nanuoya! The host was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The view from the accommodation was absolutely stunning, overlooking the mountains, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Just a note for future guests: the property is accessible by a steep set of stairs, so it may not be suitable for older travelers or anyone with mobility issues. Other than that, everything was great and we really enjoyed our time there!

Sri LankaThe accommodation has a beautiful view in the middle of a tea plantation. The owner also grows many beautiful flowers and fruit bushes around the house. It's a stunning environment. The house is well-equipped and very clean. The owners are the nicest people in all of Sri Lanka, and they also have the sweetest dog. Every day, they prepared black tea and cookies for us, arranged a great driver from the station and also to Kandy, and in the evening, a tuk-tuk took us back from the city center to the accommodation. Since the accommodation is not accessible by car, the owner kindly helped us with our luggage. They also let us taste fruit they had grown, recommended a great restaurant, and allowed us to stay at the accommodation even after check-out. They were truly wonderful.

RussiaA wonderful location, and the view of the tea plantations was amazing! The staff was hospitable and caring. The house warms up well during the day, so at night, we were comfortable under the blankets. We were welcomed and later taken to the station by tuk-tuk.

The hosts were amazing, such lovely people. Went out of their way for us, gave us breakfast when it wasn't even included in the price, and took us into town in their tuktuk for new years eve, and picked us up! Couldn't ask for better hosts. The home was super clean and comfortable, and so quiet- got our first sleep in since we arrived in SL 3 weeks ago 😄.. Awesome views too. Bit of a steep walk down to the place but nothing too strenuous. Would absolutely stay again.
