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.).

IndiaThere was a water heater, but perhaps I didn’t figure out how to use it properly. The water was warm but not as hot as I would have liked. Since I was in a rush, I didn’t have time to call the manager and sort it out.
This property offers the best view the lake was absolutely stunning. The pleasant weather combined with the scenery made the stay truly worthwhile. The room was spacious, the breakfast delicious, and the hospitality exceptional. I would highly recommend this place.

BangladeshThe pillows and bed area could a little more cleaner. It was not dirty exactly but i have extreme dust allergy, so even the slightest smell/dust bothers me. The bathroom needs more light, esp. at night its very dark. It was a bit difficult to locate the hotel as google maps shows it from the main road. Also at night, the distant party buses went on till 11pm, although its not the stay's fault.
Loved the view from the balcony, it was like a postcard, absolutely STUNNING! The room was spacious with cozy setups and was well equipped (had room slippers which none our other SL hotels had). The host was very warm and always smiling, he tried to cater to all our requirements. The home cooked breakfast by the host's wife was good too. His warm behavior was the perfect example of Lankan hospitality which we've always heard of.

DenmarkYou have to turn on the heater for the shower beforehand. I wasn't aware of this and therefore had to take a cold shower.
A spacious room with a balcony and a wonderful view of Lake Gregory. The host was really nice and helpful and the breakfast was good. The location is also great with several restaurants nearby.

AustraliaThe room was enormous and very stylishly decorated. I sat on the couch curled up with a blanket drinking my tea and felt so comfy and cosy while it was raining outside. The view is directly of the lake but it was bad weather when I stayed so I don’t know how nice it is. It’s right by the road but the windows are soundproof so the street noise is kept to a minimum. I slept very well in the big bed and bedding was of great quality. The bathroom is a little more dated but clean and with hot water. Breakfast was big and varied, really good coffee. The hosts were absolutely lovely and so welcoming. I had dinner at the restaurant next door. I think it’s called frostbite or something. Tasty and good value for money. I only stayed for one night so it was fairly short. There’s a Tv, kettle and teas plus books and a lovely little window nook to sit in. All very thoughtful.

United StatesIt was a little bit hard to find the place in dark at first, but when I called the owner for help, he came out and helped our driver for direction. Very good at communication and helpful.
Everything about Medalin Lake Gregory was awesome. We stayed one night with my husband and my family members. We got 4 different rooms and they were all clean and met our expectations. We all enjoyed staying there. The view was amazing! The owner was very nice and helpful. All the restaurants he recommended was good and tasty! We loved our Nuwara Eliya stay!
