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.).

IrelandThe Farm Resorts is an amazing place. We booked here as part of our Honeymoon. We stayed here for two nights and it was idyllic. Our private bungalow was right on the lakeside with serene views. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax, nestled among acres of tea plantations it is nothing short of amazing. We kayaked on the lake, learned how to pick tea, visited a nearby waterfall and enjoyed delicious food. This resort is exactly like the photos! Ravi, our private butler, was an absolute gentleman. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay.

United KingdomThe bathroom was perhaps a little dated. But the shower was large and efficient - and the charm of the Farm Resort far out ways this.
Accommodation in the high country tea plantations is strictly limited by the government and most of what we could see appeared to be similar to the Farm Resort and based on working or former plantations. The Resort only had a handful of rooms and ours had a fantastic view over the lake. we were assigned our own butler - Piyal - on arrival who could not do enough for us arranging a tour of a tea plantation for us and taking us on a tuk tuk tour around the reservoir as well as serving us our breakfast and dinner on our balcony. The location is idyllic and the service is great as was the food. Complete relaxation guaranteed.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Our stay at The Farm Resorts was nothing short of exceptional. The picturesque and tranquil setting alone makes it a dream destination, but what truly set it apart was the outstanding service—particularly from Piyel. He was the most attentive butler we’ve ever had, going above and beyond to make our stay special. His warmth, genuine care, and attentiveness, especially in engaging with our baby, made us feel truly at home. Piyel didn’t just provide service; he created memories. He now feels like family, and we will never forget him. This was a stay we’ll cherish forever.

United KingdomThere is a serenity about this place that we loved. It overlooks the lake and is surrounded by beautiful tea plantations. The positioning of the rooms across the estate means that each room is placed in a world of its own. We were so well looked after by the member of staff who was allocated to us. He suggested that we went on an early morning kayak over the lake, which was quite magical. We were served a most delicious dinner and breakfast, and the individual locations of the tables are gorgeous - spaced out on a lawn, on a prominently overlooking the lake on three sides. We loved the calm of the place and it was a perfect resting point along our journey on the Pekoe Trail walk.

QatarStunning property — there are 6 chalets and 1 family bungalow nestled among a 22-acre tea plantation, a walking path, lots of flowers and trees and right by the Castlereigh Reservoir. My elderly parents and I had a very comfortable 2-night stay in the family bungalow. The staff are friendly! We had several meals on-site during our stay; breakfast and lunch served outdoors with incredible views and dinner served in a cozy dining room. My fave was kayaking on Castlereigh Reservoir — extremely serene and peaceful! Absolutely nothing to complain about, everything was wonderful!

SingaporeSmall things could be easily improves such as reading lights for both sides of the bed. Important to highlight that alcohol was not on the menu - however, our butler was able to send someone to town (we visited during the Poya holiday in which alcohol was not available). For the price and as a destination holiday, we would have hoped that some of the activities on the property would have been included in the rate (kayaks & bikes).
By far, the best feature of the property were the views from the chalets. We had the good fortune of staying in Chalet 6, which I believe was the quietest and had THE BEST VIEW. The changing sunlight throughout the day provided a constantly evolving backdrop for relaxing on our generous blacony. Food met our expectations with a good variety of local and western options. The included breakfasts were generous and really delicious - esp the Sri Lankan options (ALWAYS opt for the Sri Lankan breakfast) The weather was great which allowed us to take out meals outdoors or indoors. The outdoors views, were again, amazing. Our butler, Yoga, was attentive and eager to ensure our comfort. The entire staff was helpful and friendly.
