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.).

BelgiumAs the shower, as in most Sri Lankan bathrooms is very close to the toilet, the toilet is almost always wet.
The dorm was neat, as were the beds, etc. The place opened only a year ago and was very nice. The owner is easily accessible and always eager for some feedback and a chat. The place also has a lovely view on the city and the surrounding mountains.

IndonesiaWe went to a tea estate, which was rather so-so.... though that was nothing to do with the hotel
Staff were well informed and could give you advice on other places to visit.

United Arab EmiratesDespite Nuwara Eliya's cold climate, a fan would be a great addition whenever possible, since the window cannot be left open because insects are prone to getting in.
The hotel is located on a mountain. The view of the tea plantations and the town of Nuwara Eliya captured my heart. The place is very quiet and is a great place to relax after a long day going around Nuwara Eliya. Besides the amazing breakfast, the people are very friendly and helpful.

Sri LankaEverything was perfect
The staff was extremely pleasant and supportive. We stayed in the hostel room. It was quite comfortable, and everything was ideal for us.If you are an elderly person travelling, you should avoid booking the hostel room because it contains bunk beds, although there are lots of alternative rooms to select from. I'm hoping to come back again.Highly recommended place 👌 ..

NetherlandsThere weren’t many people staying there so if you’re solo travelling and want to meet people it would be hard here. Also there was music playing outside every night (might’ve been the (upstairs) neighbours).
Kind staff that are willing to help you in any way they can. Choice between Sri Lankan and European breakfast. I had the Sri Lankan one and it was nice. Comfortable beds. Nice location between the tea fields.

IndiaThe only downside(for some)- Since the place is on way to Single Tree Mountain, some vehicles do pass during the day. So you may get some noise only during the day but it's not much. It will be like 1 or 2 vehicles every hour or so.
First of all, the location of this hotel is top class. I mean you can't get a better view of the whole town anywhere else. It's right in middle of tea farms. Even if you don't want to do anything throughout the day, you can just sit at the hotel, enjoy the view and relax. Single tree view point is just 20-25 mins walk from here. The lake and the city center is also just 1.5km from here. The place is run by 2 friends who are a great hosts. If you have time, do spend some time talking with them. For food, you have Pizza Hut, super market and couple of food trucks at 10 min walk. If you are planning to go to Horton's National Park, then the owners can arrange the tuk tuk or taxi(whatever you need). It's better if you start early around 5a.m

I stayed in the dorm bed. As a solo backpacker, staying here was a wonderful escape from the usual busy hostel life. We were treated just as lovely as the hotel guests, enjoyed the views and the breakfast. Everyone was really friendly and really helped us out with our activities. It’s obviously not central in the town but I didn’t mind the 30 min walk down. I would recommend highly if you want something more quiet for once, which for me Nuwara Eliya was the perfect opportunity anyway! The value for money was amazing.

NetherlandsThe warm water in the shower ran out after a few minutes. No big problem, but a longer hot shower would be great.
Very big and super clean room with a wonderful view! Very comfy bed. The owner was super kind and helpful. I was tired and didn't want to eat in town, and he served me an amazing Kothu in the room. He also made me a nice breakfast early in the morning because I was going hiking. Very sweet. I only stayed for 1 night unfortunately, would definitely stay longer! This place is great.

Great location, situated in a Tee plantation on a hill but only 15min walk to the city. Further up the hill you will find a little temple. It’s a freshly renovated place and very clean and every bed comes with a cozy, thick blanket. The owner war very friendly and organized a tuk tuk tour for me (4h 5000 rps) breakfast was also delicious.

AustriaI slept in the dorm room, so for me it was a hostel kind of situation, and I must honestly say that did not feel like a typical hostel in any moment. Everything is thought of like slippers for the bathroom, the bed is as comfortable as you can dream of and the host makes you feel extremely welcome. The location adds to that, lovely spot, right below the view point, so perfect for a short sunrise hike. Definitely recommend staying there, wish I could have stayed longer!
