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.).

Lovely rooms with beautiful views out across the hills. The host was very friendly and helpful. A short walk from the railway station and a good stop if you are walking the Pekoe Trail.

AustriaVery friendly and extraordinarily helpful owner - he knows the region perfectly and gave us a lot of recommendations for trips, transportation and restaurants. The view is amazing, breakfast is also good with lots of fresh fruit. The room was clean, but the whole area is just very misty and moist and you can see and feel that in the room. The windows are not the best so you also hear the street. The train station is very close by. In general I can recommend it, if you want to stay for a few nights. Haputale is a friendly town and great start point to explore the beautiful region, if you look for a less touristy alternative to Ella.

Sri LankaI had the pleasure of staying at The Mist Bungalow in Haputale, and it was a good experience. The bungalow is charming, with breathtaking views of the misty hills that create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. What truly stood out was the hospitality of the owner, who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Their genuine care and willingness to assist made our visit even more enjoyable. Whether it was providing local tips or ensuring we were comfortable, their efforts were much appreciated. The Mist Bungalow is an ideal getaway for anyone looking to relax amidst nature while enjoying warm hospitality.

Sri LankaHowever, there were a couple of downsides: the room didn’t have a TV or heater, which would have been nice to have, especially during colder days or for some entertainment.
I recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is fantastic—very close to the city center, making it convenient to explore. The view from the property was stunning and added to the charm of my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Czech RepublicNice and clean room with exceptional view. The owner is really helpfull, gave us tips on where to eat, how to get to some sights etc. The breakfast was great and we even got complimentary tea upon the arrival. The only downside is that it’s located above a bit frequented street, however you hear it only if sitting on the terrace thus it doesn’t affect your sleep anyhow. 10/10 would recommend.
