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.).

United KingdomThis hotel has been my favourite so far! Very reasonable, very friendly staff, amazing food and that view… what can I say… it’s like going to sleep and dreaming… except it’s real! The view is so good that I cancelled my visit to Lipton because I felt nothing could top this view! The food is very reasonable and the hotel arrange a tuk tuk to pick you up from the Main Street. The view from the pool is incredible. I feel this hotel needs a bit more credit as it’s absolutely amazing!

BelgiumNothing. Everything was perfect. Heaven on earth.
The view is amazing. The best you can get in Sri Lanka according to us. The staff and especially Gamina is so friendly and helpful. No effort too big. A place you should visit when in Sri Lanka. We felt sorry to leave the hotel.

BelgiumWhat a magical stay we had in Haputale! We stayed at a lovely hotel with stunning views over the surrounding hills and tea plantations. The infinity pool was perfect for relaxing, and both the breakfast and the restaurant were excellent. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was Gamini and the amazing staff. Gamini made sure everything was perfect – down to the smallest detail. He organized a fantastic trip to Lipton’s Seat with a wonderful guide, who turned the day into a memorable adventure for us and our kids. The area itself is breathtaking – peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by some of the most beautiful tea fields in Sri Lanka. Our stop in Haputale was absolutely worth it – and one we’ll always remember!

United KingdomThe pool is quite a way down a number of steps so tricky if you have mobility issues
The hotel has the most amazing views and has fantastic balconies where you can see for miles. The manager is so helpful and kind and organised trips for us at an excellent price. The food was excellent and extremely good value. I really enjoyed the pool but it was quite cool! Room was fantastic in design and comfort.

United StatesThe hotel was stunning on the inside and of course, the outside view from the balcony! The rolling hills were absolutely stunning. The room was very comfortable temperature wise, I went in April, apparently a nice months to go. The bed was dreamy too. I had dinner and breakfast there, and was treated very well by Gamini, one of the staff members there. He helped to arrange a couple of drivers for me also. It’s very easy to arrive by Tuk Tuk. Definitely recommend!

NetherlandsThe kottu at dinner was, unfortunately, a bit burned. There was no ventilation in the bathroom, which caused smells and high humidity. A little shelve in the shower would be perfect to keep your toiletries. There was no air-conditioning, which is not really needed as the climate in the hills is good. Byt you can't open the window as the mosquitos will get in.
We absolutely loved the amazing views. Which we were able to enjoy from our private balcony. We also liked the modern (concrete) design of the hotel. The restaurant was spacious and offered beautiful views. Staff was friendly.

AustraliaThere was a bit of a musty smell in a couple of the rooms, but I think that comes from the cool damp of the area.
When you walk through the big doors at the front of the property, you will be awestruck by the views across the misty hills of tea plantations. It is a modern build with polished concrete floors and even a swimming pool. It is brilliantly located a short (steep) walk from downtown Haputale. If you're looking for an authentic local town to stay in this Tea area, haputale is the place. Great eating holes in the wall cooking up cheap and delicious local fare. And nearby is a beautiful section of the Pekoe Trail which I highly recommend. Back to Vantage Hill - it is the warmth and can-do attitude of the staff that really makes this place\. Oh, and the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast
