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.).

IrelandNo bar onsite. It would be lovely if they could get a wine licence to enjoy while having dinner as the hotel is remote.
We enjoyed our stay in Tea Hills Lake. Lovely comfortable rooms and beautiful views. Staff so warm and welcoming, so hardworking with one member in particular, felt like he was never off duty. He even got up at 3am to help 2 of our party set off to climb Adams Peak armed with flash lights and packed lunches. Up early overseeing breakfast and checkouts showing a passion for his trade that was admirable. Lovely welcome flowers and present a nice touch.

Hong KongWe loved everything, but Hatton is a quiet area so just have that in mind - you can go down to the lake for a walk or relax at another hotel with a bar. Bit lovely for a quiet/romantic time.
We love the hotel itself, the standouts were the exceptional views and the food - which is all homemade by the chef in their authentic Sri Lanka kitchen. For breakfast you can see him making the breakfast. The rooms were very comfortable, with amazing views of the landscape and the lake! All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you guys so much!

Absolutely stunning hotel with incredible views. Waking up here was truly something else. Everything is brand new and clean. The staff has thought of every single detail and they are so friendly and accommodating. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend staying here!

United KingdomOver the past twenty years or so of visiting Sri Lanka we’ve stayed in every type of accomodation - from very budget to more high end…age may well be a factor in that! But we can honestly say that Tea Hill Lake was one of the best. As you arrive you receive an exceptionally warm welcome and are then treated to the most stunning of views from the panoramic reception windows. I can’t stress enough how amazing this location is - rolling tea plantations and the lake from every angle. To wake up in the morning and see those views, smell that air and hear the nature is something never to be forgotten. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are excellent and the food was great. It’s brand new, only opened in Dec 24 and already is running very smoothly, all credit to them. The owner has plans to develop even more elements, the gardens are being planted and we very much look forward to returning next year to see them mature and bed in. An absolute gem of a hotel.

DenmarkWe were lucky to be the very first guests at this brand new luxurious hotel overlooking tea fields and Castlereigh Reservoir. And we had the most wonderful stay because - our room/bathroom was big and very nicely equipped. The bathroom had a bath tub as well as the best shower we have experienced during our roundtrip in Sri Lanka - the food in the restaurant overlooking the tea fields and Castlereigh Reservoir was excellent - all the staff was very very friendly, attentive and accomodating - especially Mr Sathanahdah took great care of our wellbeing - the views - both from the room and from the roof top terrace are impressive - we enjoyed a walk along the reservoir and the tea fields We would love to come back to this beautiful place if we come back to Sri Lanka!

United KingdomWe stayed in 3 different accommodations in the hill country. The value for money did not match the facilities as compared to the other two. One of them was a tea estate bungalow and the other a 5 star boutique resort.
It was in a beautiful location bright and airy with a big balcony overlooking the lake.The manager and the staff were very courteous and especially the chefs went out of their way to accommodate your dietary requirements.Nothing was too much for them, always with big smiles.
