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.).

United KingdomThere was no mattress protector on the bed . Our room was off the main communal area so noisy at times . You could hear the neighbours tv and radio early in the morning . ( not our hosts fault but woke us up each day )
Great location if walking the Pekoe Trail. The host picked us up and took us back into town after our stay . Great local breakfasts each day . I was able to borrow a yoga mat which is always a bonus .

United KingdomJust be careful when you come out of the bathroom into the bedroom. When you have wet feet, the floor can be extremely slippery - I completely slipped over. We put a towel down after that.
Very comfortable bed, great balcony with a beautiful view and ideally located for the Pekoe Trail. Helpful staff.

Sri Lankastayed at Lilly Guest Inn after completing Stage 12 of the Pekoe Trail, and it was a great place to rest. The guesthouse is just over 1 km from the trail end, making it a convenient stop. The room was comfortable, and while the food was okay, the owner was very helpful and accommodating. Overall, a pleasant stay after a long day of hiking!

United KingdomThere was a lot of outside noise overnight despite having windows and doors closed.
The hosts are fantastic. Couldn't do enough for me. He organised a tuktuk to collect me from the train station and he personally dropped me off at the bus station when I left. Very attentive and wanted to ensure I had the best time whilst there. He advised on so many activities and attractions to see. He assisted with organising a tuktuk driver to the areas I wanted to see and helped me with forwarding journey plans onto my next destination. I was even provided with takeaway breakfasts both mornings when I left the hotel early to go in search of sunrises.

ItalyWhen I stayed (Jan '25) there were construction works going on, very loud until 6.30 pm. I left at 8 am and they still had not begun to work again.
Beautiful hosts and great authentic food. I had a beautiful chat with the lady while having dinner and they were all very ready to help with things to do and my next travels. Super comfortable bed and warm blanket (it gets cold in this area after sundown). Nice views from balcony. Super hot water. About 5 minutes away by tuktuk from the main centre. Buses can take you to Uda Walawe and train to Ella / Kandy. Lots of hikes and waterfalls and tea plantations to explore around.

BelgiumHot water comes and goes (but i think this is pretty normal in SL)
Clean, comfortable bed, owners friendly and helpful. The furniture in the room is a bit outdated, but from what we have seen,.it looks this is pretty standard for this price range. They provided us twice a breakfast take away as we were leaving at 5am for some excursions in the area. Also, in our opinion the position is very good as not far from Haputale city (200-300 LKR) but in a quite area.

United KingdomThere was some noise coming from the dining area of an evening when the hosts were handling other guest enquiries, (our room opened directly into the dining area). This was probably not the case for other rooms where they didn't open onto this part of the property. Would have been nice to have a kettle / cups in the room.
Lily's was outside of Haputhale, but close enough to walk in. View from the room was good (subject to the weather!!). Had our own balcony with chairs for when the weather was kind to us. Breakfasts were plentiful and varied and served at a time to suit us. Bathroom was nicely tiled, modern looking and decent hot water. Hosts were lovely and happy to help with ideas for visits and arranging transport. Next door was a great tuk-tuk driver (Mohammed) who always gave us a good price quote, and we ended up using him a lot during our stay.

NetherlandsHaving dinner at the hotel is considerably more expensive (2000 LKR per person excluding any drinks) than at most sit down restaurants (800-1500 LKR) I understand charging more for the convenience of eating at your hotel, but we were not expecting such a difference when seeing the total during check-out.
Our hosts were very attentive and arranged for breakfast and dinner at the times we scheduled. They even made a separate portion of roti for us to take for our lunch, which was very kind of them. Wi-Fi was stable and with decent bandwidth. The location is a walkable distance to Haputale center and also close to nice hiking routes.
