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.).

ItalyIt’s up in mountains so it was quite cold. The room is equipped with a fireplace but they give just a little wood, not enough to warm up the space. However, we had a warm and thick duvet so it wasn’t too uncomfortable
It is a quirky property with new age vibes. Our room wasn’t very big but well equipped and perfect for a one night stay. We had to leave early in the morning but they were super nice and provided us with breakfast to go. They were also useful in giving us indications for dinner, walking distance. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay so we couldn’t really appreciate the location. It’s a bit out of town so very quiet.

Gorgeous unique little hotel that had a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Our room had a small lounge attached with a log burner which was great in the evening when the temperature dropped. It was possible to walk down to the lake area and then to the town and easy to get a tuk tuk back. There was a great restaurant just a few minutes walk from the hotel Taste of India, lovely food and great value. Heidi and staff could not have done more to make our stay perfect. We had a picnic breakfast for our trip to Horton Plains and on the last morning we had an early start but Heidi arranged for us to have breakfast a little early. A generous delicious breakfast. We would have loved to stay longer but will hopefully return. Our stay was part of a two week trip to very different parts of Sri Lanka. We would definitely not have wanted to miss Nurwara Eliya, or Serendipity! A gem

United KingdomIt is located a little way out of town so you will need a tuk tuk or taxi.
What an amazing place! There is a special feel to Heidi's Home and we felt relaxed and comfortable the moment we stepped inside. The rooms are beautiful with Heidi's painted creations and twinkling lights welcome you in from the entrance. Heidi gave us lots of good advice of things to see and guidance to taxi and tuk tuck costs which we appreciated. Heidi even packed us a breakfast box each as we had an early train to catch the next morning.

GermanySerendipity Heidi's Home is totally unique, I have never seen an artistic interior quite like it. Heidi has painted all the walls with colorful flowers and butterflies, peacock feathers and dream catchers, it's really beautiful. The kingsize bed might have been one of the most comfortable beds on the planet. The suite we had felt like a cozy home. Only one or two things weren't perfect. The wood burner chimney had a crack in it so when we lit the stove the smoke got into the room. And the shower has an electric heater with little volume and pressure. Otherwise a real gem and a must see.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! It was perfect in every way!
Where do we start? The whole experience staying here was just perfect! From the wonderful warm greeting from Heidi and her niece to the amazingly decorated property. It’s unique and fabulous, beautifully designed and painted by Heidi herself. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and just an absolute pleasure to stay in. If we ever come back, we will definitely be back here. Heidi also gave some really helpful recommendations for places to see and go to for food. Breakfast was also great! If we could pick this place up and bring it back to the UK, we would!
