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.).

Hong KongIn Dec 2024, the property didn’t have a liquor license however we were able to buy some in the nearby town.
Every aspect of this boutique, modern eco lodge was AMAZING! We stayed for a couple of days after Christmas and loved the festive feel, fire pits, and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The buildings blend in with the landscape and interiors are stunning - recommend staying in Chalet Neru. The food was delicious and higher end and the fruit / veg grown onsite. Our kids loved the farm tour and homemade ice cream and jams. All staff were super friendly, professional and seemed genuinely happy to work there. Kitchen was accommodating with my allergy restrictions. I’d been concerned about insects before we arrived however only spotted a couple of stick insects outdoors during our trip. Everyone in our family wished we could have stayed at the property for at least one more night.

AustraliaNothing really. No complaints at all.
Beautiful modern boutique hotel, only a small number of rooms on a farm about 25mins outside of Nuwara Eliya. Recently built/renovated. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Stunning rooms and views.

SingaporeSome of the parts of the room and lodging were dusty, but not a major issue.
The stay at the Plains property was a highlight of our trip. The accommodation was good, but the views are what you pay for! Salin the concierge on duty was incredible with his hospitality and made sure that my partner and I had everything we needed!

Sri LankaThey charged the specified 1/3 of the total 3 days before arrival through a third party - Ramya....". When I received notice from my bank about this transaction, I had to phone Plains Green to verify that it indeed was Plains Green.
Room was spacious with the view of their farm below and the hilla beyond.

We stayed in 5 different hotels during our time in Sri Lanka and this was our absolute favourite! We even cancelled plans just to enjoy the property. Incredible views and so quiet, all you hear are birds. Food is good too. It’s in a quiet area off Nuwara Eliya closer to Horton Plains and really made our trip.

IndiaAmazing hospitality. The manager Mr Nayan Wikramasinghe, the caretakers Mr Seelan and Elango, were simply amazing. They took care of all our needs and went over and above to make our stay memorable. The view and the setting amidst nature is simply the best. Additionally since it is outside Nuwara Eliya, it is away from all the hustle and bustle.

ItalyMost of the staff was inexperienced, but few of them were very kind and responsive. There could have been more attention to keep the room fresh and fixing few things which were not working.
The location is amazing as it is facing the Horton Plains and the view you can enjoy from every angle is just breathtaking. It was nice to be within a farm from which the hotel picks fresh vegetables daily. There are wild animals that you can see during the day. The food was actually very good and always adapted to our needs and the availability of the farm nearby.

GermanyThe description indicated that the room is soundproof, but as soon as we went to bed at 11pm the boiler/pressure pumper/generator/whatever it was started making extremely loud noises. We couldn’t reach anyone at reception and these noises continued ALL night every 2 mins. We had to sleep with ear plugs and headphones on. No compensation was suggested by the General Manager. Sad to say but we expected a lot from this hotel and we’re disappointed.

United KingdomIf you were staying for 3 days or more, perhaps a little more variety on the menu would be ideal.
The location is in a beautiful setting, we loved walking around the farm which is where the kitchen gets all its vegetables from. The whole sustainability ethos was great to see and is evident in every aspect of the property. The staff (Navod and Ilango) were so attentive and made every effort to help us in whatever way they could.

United KingdomGiven the weather we had it was cold in the room and the hotel had fires but were rarely lit The reviews of this hotel do not do it justice they are invariably glowing but that was not our experience If this is an up market hotel it falls well short For the price it should be much better for £30 we stayed in better than this I do not know how it got such good reviews the staff tried hard especially Seelam and Ilango but reading the reviews we expected much more
The location was good but it really is in the middle of nowhere down a very bumpy track there is no doubt that the views are spectacular towards Adam’s Peak The staff were very good and helpful but at this price you might expect them to be better trained in what is expected of an up market hotel

MaldivesThere is no pest control in the room. Full of leeches, other insects. The hotel doesn't have any repellent for leech bites or any other repellent. The room was not clean as a chalet.
We like the overview of the bungalow. Other than that, it's not value for money. Need pest control n heating system. No proper information is provided.
