Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Wow…where to start? The place is gorgeous! The host/artist has poured her heart and talent into this place with great effect. We loved our room and the view of Lake Gregory. The host is very responsive to guest needs…she is a very hard worker. The best bed we’ve had in Sri Lana. It’s a terrific value.

United KingdomThat we had to leave!
Where do I begin…. We walked into what can only be described as a truly magical testament to the mildly surrealist genius that is Heidi’s mind Every single inch is a piece of art, each wall a slightly psychedelic masterpiece that somehow go together perfectly. The art is only half the story. Heidi is charm personified and could not be more helpful. The second you meet her you feel she is a deep kind soul. Who you somehow feel blessed to have met. Onto more mundane things The beds bedding and duvets are the cosiest I think I have ever slept and the breakfast was excellent All in all an exceptional experience Thank you Heidi….you made something magical here.

United KingdomBreakfast was a very good-size portion, but a bit heavy!
A very interesting place to stay! The rooms are all painted by Heidi and when you meet her you can see her artistic streak. She is very friendly and will advise you on whatever you need. The room was a good size, comfortable and very clean. The only problem (which I think is due to the town itself) is that everything was quite damp/humid. We were given a heater in the room and that helped us keep warm when we were in bed.

The house was so nicely decorated! I felt in a fairytale! The rooms are really big and cosy and have all facilities. In nuwara eliya it can get cold sometimes but the shower has hot water and its very amazing. The hotel owner Heidi is such a lovely and friendly woman who really takes care of you! We had dinner at the hotel and it was honestly one of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka so far. The same could be said for the breakfast! We also went one day to horton plains very early and heidi made us a take away breakfast!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said in the reviews for this amazing place?! Heidi is adorable, so welcoming, friendly and genuine, a star, full of ideas and recommendations to make your stay in Nuwara Eliya a good one. Serendipity is unlike any other place you’ll have stayed - decorated completely by Heidi’s own hand. A photo opportunity at every corner, inside and out! The rooms are beautifully painted, mine had a large comfortable bed, equipped with refrigerator, kettle, tea / coffee etc, tv, hairdryer and a heater should you need it. Wifi signal was fine in the room as well as downstairs in the common area. It’s a vegetarian hotel which suited me perfectly, breakfast was so tasty and varied compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in the area. I am already planning to return ❤️

NetherlandsIt would be better if the breakfast is freshly made instead of warming the meal up in the microwave, because the bread will be soft.
It was nice design and there was a heater for cold and rainy days. The host was doing her best to make everything to our liking.

United StatesThe internet was sluggish at times
Heidi was a great host. The room was huge with a sitting area separated from the bedroom. The room had a mini fridge and was stocked with bottled water. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner were provided. The electric water heater worked great. The heavy comforter kept me warm and toasty on those cold and rainy Nuwara Eliya nights. The room had a small balcony with a view of the lake. There was another sitting area just outside the room. The breakfast was very good and filling. The music at breakfast was very relaxing. The photos don't do justice to the artwork displayed throughout the home and the room.
