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.).

Francethere is no dinner option but prosper can arrange delivery (600or800 rupees extra) but there is options in town if you want to eat before coming to the homestay in the middle of the tea plantations.
right on the pekoetrail for an easy start in the morning. Prosper the owner is a fellow trecker/fan of nepal so we spent the majority of the evening talking about trecking and other things. felt like I was couchsurfing even though it's on booking.

New ZealandWhen hiking the Pekoe Trail we stayed here for a night, and what a nice house in a beautiful spot it is! Perfectly located on the trail, high up to catch the views, and a little distance away from town which is no issue at all, as a short tuktuk ride will get you to dinner quick. Host Prosper is intelligent and fun, we loved his company, and he knows to give you space and privacy too. If you like he can whip up some breakfast for a small fee too. A bright and cheerful homestay, I reckon all fellow Pekoe walkers should stop by here for a memorable stay. We more then enjoyed it

QatarProsper the owner really makes his guests feel at home, treated us like his own family. Hospitality at its best! A minimalist family room, sparkling clean & huge for our family with super comfortable beds. The View at Glenloch-Homestay truly lives up to its name! If you are looking for a relaxing & quiet place with serene views, this is the place to be. Highly recommended 👍 PS: these pictures were taken early morning from the rooftop 😉

United KingdomFantastic experience staying with Prosper for a night. He went above and beyond as a host - cooked me an early breakfast, arranged for dinner to be delivered, and even spent time cleaning and dressing my leech bites! Highly recommend for anybody planning on stopping during the Pekoe trail.

United KingdomStaying with Prosper was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka, he instantly made us feel welcome and comfortable. We loved hearing his stories and meeting his other guests. The house has beautiful views over the mountains and was a comfortable pit stop for us on the Pekoe Trail. Thank you to Prosper and Suba for such a wonderful stay! Keep in touch!

United StatesWe liked everything.
Located perfectly along the Pekoe trail and near the Glenoch tea factory, beautifully designed with an outstanding view, and more than comfortable accommodation- but the highlight of this stay is Prosper, the owner. I liken him to the grandpa of the Pekoe trail - a man of vast experience, childlike wonder, kindness, and just a person with a pure heart. Stay here and meet a wonderful example of a human being.

United StatesIt was spacious, comfortable and located right by the Pekoe Trail. The bed linens, towels and shower ( hot water!) were of excellent quality. Best of all, Prosper is a kind host who took great care of us when we arrived wet off the trail and with many bleeding leech wounds. He was a nurse and cleaned, bandaged and applied ointment. Thank you, Prosper, for your help!

Mr Prosper the host is an amazing gentleman. We sat and chatted for hours , whilst looking out at the incredible view from his home.

Czech RepublicIf you want to feel really welcome and cared for, this is the place to stay for few dayes! 😍 Such a beautifull spot in the middle of the mountains right on Pekoe trail, the house is nicely designed full of light and the view is truly remarcable. Just having tea in the morning and see the fog sitting on the hills is experience by itself. The owner and the lady who works here are super ephatic and good hearted, genuinely interested about your needs. They made me feel like visiting family in here. The owner also speaks very good english and he is super intelignet, I loved the conversationes with him. The best place I have been to in Sri Lanka mountains so far. ❤️

The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. It has just enough amenities needed - not too cluttered. We didn't have our meals there as we were always on the road, but we had the best sleep! We will definitely be back.

United KingdomMake sure you let them know a day in advance if you want their home cooked food.
The owner, Prosper, is such a kind and gentle soul who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He even helped us arrange a takeaway lunch at a nearby restaurant for the next day’s hike, which was such a thoughtful touch. Location-wise, the views are great. There’s a terrace at the top where you can see the reservoir below—absolutely stunning! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the hot water was such a blessing after a long day hiking the Pekoe Trail. We spent the evening chatting, sharing stories, and bonding like family. We came as strangers and left feeling like we had a new brother in Prosper. Don’t miss out on this gem of a place. We will definitely be back!

Sri LankaThis accommodation was one of the best decisions of our stay in Sri Lanka. The view from the accommodation is fantastic, and the host is a wonderful, broad-minded old man with whom it was a pleasure to spend time and talk. We became richer because of him, as we received a lot of knowledge from him. He helped us get to a waterfall, arranged dinner for us. He was incredibly kind and helpful. He and her brother too. I can only recommend accommodation!!

United KingdomI had no issues.
I had a fantastic stay at the View at Glenloch, my favourite in Sri Lanka. The location is perfect if you are hiking on the Pekoe Trail (just off the end of stage 3). Prosper was an excellent host with great stories and advice. He offered a good cup of tea whenever I wanted one and made me breakfast in the morning. For dinner, he arranged for food to be brought to the house from a local restaurant, excellent fried rice! The room and bathroom was clean and comfortable. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with my stay. I hope I can return some day.
