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.).

We’re French, and we have to say – we ate the best cordon bleu of our lives here! Compliments to the chef for such delicious food throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel at home from start to finish. The room was spot on – clean, comfortable, and perfectly prepared. The location by the lake is beautiful, adding a peaceful charm to the whole experience.

MaldivesW15 Lake Gregory was everything we needed for a restful and refreshing escape. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious. each meal thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The room was cozy, beautifully designed, and spotless, making it the ideal space to relax and unwind. The location by the lake is simply serene, peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature. It was the perfect setting to disconnect and recharge. Special kudos to our butler Krishan, who went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and memorable. His attention to detail and kind service made a real difference. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy some true well-being time.

United Arab EmiratesVery homely vibe. They only have 6 rooms so the attention to the guests is great. They customize things for you - like they changed a recipe according to our liking and also we needed a hot water bag so they arranged it for us. Very very comfortable stay. Krishnan and Lasha were great! (I hope I got the names right)

BangladeshThe resort was perfect however there's not much you can do at Nuwara Eliya. Two days are enough.
We had an exceptional experience at W15, Lake Gregory. The stay itself was phenomenal—everything from the atmosphere to the attention to detail made us feel truly welcome and relaxed. What stood out most was the service. Raj, Krishan, and Lakisanda were absolutely fantastic. They didn’t just do their jobs well—they went out of their way to make sure we felt cared for at every step. It’s rare to see that level of thoughtfulness and consistency in hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would love to return. This trip set a new bar for what great service looks like. Thank you to the entire team for making it so memorable.

IndiaBedding could be rehauled. The bed wasnt the most comfortable, but I am sure it will be solved soon.
My recent stay at W15 in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The property itself is a stunning blend of elegance and charm, nestled perfectly amidst the misty hills, offering breathtaking views that made every morning feel like a dream. The rooms were impeccably clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The attention to detail in every corner of W15 truly stood out—everything from the plush bedding to the serene ambiance made it feel like a home away from home. What elevated our stay even further was the incredible staff, particularly Raj Madhushanka and Shimal. Raj went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, always with a genuine kindness and professionalism that made us feel so welcomed. Shimal’s cheerful demeanor and helpful recommendations for local spots to visit added a special touch to our trip—we couldn’t have asked for better guidance! Their dedication and warmth are a testament to the outstanding service at W15. The food was another highlight—every dish was bursting with flavor, showcasing the best of Sri Lankan cuisine with a modern twist. Whether it was sipping tea on the terrace or unwinding by the fireplace, every moment at W15 felt like pure bliss. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway in Nuwara Eliya, W15 is an absolute gem. Thank you, Raj, Shimal, and the entire team, for making our stay so memorable—we can’t wait to return!

SwitzerlandThe bed ! It was really worn out and the mattress was deformed . I just couldn’t sleep and feel sore. I did suggest to the owner that they buy new mattresses ASAP. Then it would be perfect .
The place is absolutely beautiful very nice view calm environment, beautiful gardens. We ate at the hotel and they really do have an amazing chef locally grown vegetables. My husband had lamb. I had fish. We were just in paradise then came the bad surprise, the rooms are lovely With great pillows. Nice bathroom items, good quality tea, and coffee. We enjoyed all the beautiful furniture, but there is one big but : The bed ! Thank you to the staff that were all really nice.

This was an unforgettable experience overall. Staff made us feel at home, in a beautiful Victorian mansion overseeing the lake. The hotel was the best part of our sightseeing in Nuwara Eliya. Our butler Shimal took care of everything in a professional manner and we thank him for this.
