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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IsraelWe attempted to use the bathtub but for some reason the water had a yellowy color. we don't know why it happened, it's probably the same everywhere in the region. Additionally, we were there in September, the weather water cold and the room was very chill especially at night. there was a heater, however it was not sufficient to heat up the whole room.
the room was nice and big, everything worked well. the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Raj was AMAZING ! he responded to our every need and did everything so that our stay would be as pleasant as possible. We follow a special dite and they adapted the breakfast for us. overall they were great and we highly recommend this place for a chill and worryless stay.

PolandSome facility compromises are to be expected due to a fact that the building is historical and the temperature in the area is very low when compared to the rest of Sri Lanka. Host provides a heater in the room which does a good job of warming it up.
I arrived on a motorcycle, tired like hell and wet from the rain. The host was amazing from the start: he helped me with the luggage, performed a very quick check-in, ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for me and brought tea with cookies to my room (free of charge) so I could warm up a bit. Incredible care shown by the host, helpful throughout, answered all queries and was ready to accommodate all my requests. Hot bath in a big bathtub made me recover well from the travel. Views around the property are amazing. Breakfast was very nice, I was asked twice if all is to my satisfaction and if I would like to get anything extra. After the breakfast I got two packs of local tea as a gift from the host, which was a very kind gesture!

ItalyQuite far from Nuwara Eliya “centre” you’d need a car or a tuktuk (10-15mins drive) Room is a bit cold and the heating system was a not-so efficient portable heater
The House is charming and is literally located in a tea field

AustraliaNo it met our expectations.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Whilst the accommodation is a little way out of town, a tuk tuk ride for dinner is not expensive and it’s unique to stay so close to the tea fields. It was clean and the bed was comfortable and we slept well so no complaints from us!

AustraliaWe were lucky to have our own transport, as the location is not near restaurants. We had a little difficulty getting hot water in the shower.
We loved the setting amidst the tea plantation fields. The bedrooms were very plush with European style rooms. The beds were super comfortable. The breakfast was very generous and tasty. We enjoyed used of the outdoor sun patio upstairs. There was a pool table if you wished to play.

United KingdomThe room did feel quite damp but I think that is just the weather! Also, you need to take a tuktuk to get to restaurants etc but think that's just the price you pay for being in amongst the greenery.
It was so beautiful being in amongst the tea fields in this hotel. We were in one villa with just a couple of other rooms. When we arrived, we were given a cup of tea and biscuits out on the roof overlooking the fields as the sun set. It was a lovely way to meet other people. The staff were really helpful and friendly and it was a great experience.

IndiaNot that we didn't have a problem with it, the immediate approach road is a bit old.
We stayed here for a night on our stopover from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. We wanted to get the true tea garden experience and this place completely satisfied our requirements. It is a quaint cottage nestled in the tea gardens. We reached around 5 pm after sightseeing in Nuwara Eliya, we were served tea on the balcony which was lovely. Since this is a B&B and we were feeling too lazy to go out for dinner, the host helped us in placing a delivery order. We had breakfast the next morning, which was good and had morning tea on the balcony again before checking out. An extremely sweet gesture made by the host was gifting us tea bags.
