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 KingdomWe had a great stay at ruchi house. The owners were very kind and helpful and made us feel really comfortable. The owner picked us up and dropped us off at the station for a small price. We ate dinner there both nights, the nicest Sri Lankan food we had eaten the whole trip, and the breakfast was also great. Location wasn’t amazing, but no problem as the owner sorted us out with a scooter for a good price.

JapanThe Owner was so kind! He was as kind as a Japanese worker. The room rate was so low and it was so comfortable. The breakfast was so delicious and large portions. I'll come back to the hotel when I visit Nuwara Eliya next time. Thank you so much for being kind to me.

IndiaI recently stayed at RUCHI HOUSE and I’m 100% satisfied with my experience! The entire place looked absolutely beautiful and had a fresh, welcoming feel from the moment I arrived. Everything was neat, clean, and thoughtfully arranged. The host was extremely polite and made me feel completely at home. Their hospitality truly added a personal touch that made my stay even more memorable. Overall, I highly recommend RUCHI HOUSE to anyone looking for a comfortable and refreshing home stay. I would definitely love to visit again!

United StatesAn absolutely wonderful place to stay in Nuwara Eliya. The house was built in the 1970s and was the family house of Mr. Sunny. I felt like I was experiencing the life of Nuwara Eliya. I have never in my travels seen a house more lovingly maintained. It was I-MMA-CU-LATE! Mr.Sunny and his wife did EVERYTHING to make us feel special and we'll taken care of. You will really feel thar you have not come to a hotel, but that you are visiting your family. They are not hotel owners; they are hoteliers--gifted in the art if hospitality.

IranA kind and incredibly professional couple. The room was very large, perfectly clean, and tastefully arranged. Even the blankets and sheets smelled wonderful. The host was incredibly kind, and anything you needed was available. We also arranged our visit to Horton Plains National Park with their own tuk-tuk, and they even packed a very neat breakfast for us to eat inside the park. The location is excellent, close to Lover's Leap Waterfall and the Pedro Tea Factory, about a half-hour walk at most, or you can even take a bus. Overall, everything was at its best. We'll definitely miss the landlord, who was a true gentleman, and his kind wife. We hope to see them again.
