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.).

IndiaSorry, I do not have anything like that.
10/10 The property was well maintained and gave a very pleasant feel. The owner received us warmly and even offered tea on arrival, which was a nice gesture. Raghu, the caretaker, was exceptional—always helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The food was excellent. We enjoyed both Indian breakfast and dinner. Dinner, especially the roti with mixed vegetable curry, was simply outstanding. The owners (husband and wife) were very friendly and made us feel at home. With such hospitality and service, our overall experience was wonderful. Gardens are very well maintained. Though it was cold (13degrees) we enjoyed a lot at this property.

EstoniaGreat stay, like home! Clean, good beds, hot water. Quiet, beautiful house! 10 min walk to the city center. The owner is very friendly and helpful, always there for us. Radhu took us on a hike and showed us interesting places in the area. Nuwara Eliya is a nice place and the road here is interesting. I definitely recommend this guesthouse and would come again! Thank you!

Brilliant for a short stay in Nuwara Eliya. Small walk from the town centre in a quiet location. The large room and bathroom provided a lot of comfort for our short stay. Tea or coffee was provided on arrival and in the morning. They arranged for our tuk tuk for an early check out. Very satisfied.

Staff were available at the property 24/7 and were incredibly helpful. We did a guided walking tour with Ragu to the tea plantations and local farms which we really enjoyed. Lovely property with a common lounge area so you can sit somewhere other than your bedroom.

United KingdomWould have preferred service charge included up front. It came as a surprise (my mistake for not scrolling?).
Loved the faded charm of this old colonial building. Relaxing spot to take tea! Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Away from hustle and bustle, but easily walkable to restaurants etc. Staff arranged a great Tuk Tuk tour, with Ranji, to Hakgala gardens and Lovers Leap waterfall.

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay at Hill Town Cottage. The peaceful location is ideal as it’s close enough to the centre of town for a walk to all the main sights, but out of the busy traffic. It is also close to some good cafes including the excellent Noshers. We had a good balcony and the room was really clean and well equipped. The staff were friendly and breakfast was ok.

United StatesLoved everything.
Absolutely loved our stay. Ragu was so helpful, attentive and kind. Enjoyed all of our interactions with him. Great location - walkable to anywhere but quiet. The room was fantastic - a large space with a very comfy bed and great shower (best in our travels here). The common spaces are equally as great. Comfortable sitting places inside and out to enjoy the flower gardens and a cup of tea.

United KingdomLovely little hotel with old world charm, and staff that take the best care of you. The view is lovely, location perfect, walking distance from the main market, and not too far from the main tourist attraction Gregory Lake. Raghu was so very helpful, noticing on the first day what foods we had more, or less of, and adjusting accordingly. Chamilla always checked if we needed anything. I would recommend this place.

SpainIt was probably due to the downpour before we arrived but the room smelled of damp. It would have been nice to have a little heating in the dining area.
The staff were super friendly and gave great advice for our stay in Nuwara Eliya. The breakfast was abundant with the choice of an English breakfast. The common area was comfortable and the gardens were well looked after. The location was easy walking distance to the town centre and very quiet.
