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.).

RussiaThe place is unique, surrounded by water and greenery. The house is made of wood and very cosy. The owner is a charming woman, who was always there to help. It wasn't difficult to get around from there too, though it felt very remote and serene. The weather was cool and rainy so it really was chilly in the evenings and nights, but we had more than enough blankets to sleep comfortably. It was a very special stay for us!

The property is such a little gem! A little (not so little) wood cabin in the nature. There’s a stream of water just behind and it’s very relaxing. The cabin is very comfortable, offers two double rooms downstairs and one upstairs. There a kitchenette, a fridge and even a hair dryer! All the amenities really. The owner is a fantastic lady! She is very nice and helpful and her garden is magnificent

United StatesThis is about the town not our cabin but nuwara eliya can get chilly we being from Chicago where our winters get to -20c thought 70/60 would not be an issue but bring weather gear and warm clothes for night.
The location outside nuwara eliya is perfect if you want to be out of the city. The cabin is three bedrooms very large would be great for a family or group. The host was very kind and helpful with any questions or concerns. She provided us extra blankets as we underestimated the weather in nuwara eliya. The meals she made were delicious and healthy.

She cooked us a very tasty dinner and breakfast. I highly recommend this wonderful family to everyone.

United Arab EmiratesIts not necessarily a bad thing, but you should keep in mind that the shower head is hanging right over the toilet so it gets quite wet there of course. On the bright side it did have hot water.
As authentic as it can be. Little paradise. Beds are super comfortable, host is super friendly. Just 5 min drive away from the town. The sound of little river right by it was our lullaby. Definitely recommended.

United KingdomI have never had to leave a bad review for a property (and this review could be worse) but I will give the host the benefit of the doubt and would like to leave some friendly tips instead: - We arrived at the property during a power cut, and as stated the host provided us with a candle and portable light bulb but this was the only time we heard from her until we were loading up our van to leave in the morning. It would have been nice if she had dropped in after the power had come back to check that everything was okay. - The biggest issue we had with the property was how EXTREMELY cold it was. The blankets provided were not enough (possibly because it is January and not a summer month). The property absolutely needs some form of insulation or electric heaters. We barely got any sleep because of how cold it was, and all of us were layered up in addition to using the blankets. - The bedding and blankets need to be washed regularly. Everything had a musty smell, including the pillows. We tried to tell the host about the pillows in the morning but she denied that they were not clean (which is another reason why I’m having to write my feedback in this review rather than providing it directly to the host for their own improvement). My mum had taken the pillow case off to check why the pillow smelt, and found around 6 pillow covers on the pillow. Adding more covers will not solve the problem. The pillows need to be replaced or washed. - The property needs a deep clean after each guest visits. For example, the dining room table was filthy. - The facilities could be improved a lot. A handheld electric coil was left with a jug to be used as a kettle. Please replace this with a modern kettle, as the old handheld coils are a huge fire risk and could also cause burns. Also, non-Sri Lankans are very unlikely to know how to use this. - Some tea, coffee and sugar wouldn’t go amiss.
- The bathroom was built well and had hot water. - The host had left a candle and provided us with a portable light bulb when we arrived during a power cut. - Fresh flowers had been left in various places in the property which were a nice little touch. - Bathroom flip flops were provided which was helpful when the floors were wet. - Half a bar of new soap was left in the bathroom, but liquid hand wash may be more economical and is also more hygienic.
