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...).

United StatesYou will go up a steep driveway upon arrival. The road isn't in great condition as of today but its serviceable. There are other homestays that use the same driveway as well. There was a guard dog who is chained but barks aggressively whenever you walk by. It belongs to another host though. Follow the road all the way to the end to find this homestay. The WiFi is slow at times, but this may be due to circumstances outside of the control of the host. Not anyones fault, but just be aware - it gets cold at night.
There will likely be a woman there to check you in. She may not speak your language but she is helpful and will call her son if needed. The view is great. You can see for many miles from the property. Blankets are provided as well as a water heater - essential for the area. It gets chilly at night.

SwitzerlandThe host was very gracious and kind, he helped us book our trip to Horton Plains and gave us plenty of information about sights and activities in the area. The room was clean, very comfortable and there was a hot shower and excellent WiFi. The location is quiet and only a short walk (10min) away from the city centre

Great place in Nuwara Eliya: although it has a decent location, you feel like you're in the countryside, far from noise and hassle. The upper room that we stayed in is compact but with a great atmosphere and windows on 3 sides.

BangladeshThe bed was too small to be considered a double bed. It was hardly semi-double. Tried to order food online, but wasn't successful. I had to go out at night in very cold weather. Knowledge of the timetable for bus routes or trains would be an added advantage for any homestay. I was told that there are AC buses/tourist buses to Colombo every hour. But at the bus stop, I found that it was not correct.
The room was cozy and beautiful. arrangement of tea and electric kettle. The landlady and her son were amazingly friendly and nice. The beautiful garden.

Czech RepublicThe only little downside we came across was that the room (we’ve had the room upstairs) was a bit cold and there is no radiator. However the family provided us with second blanket and it was all fine.
Calm and cozy accommodation resembling a nice farmstead isolated from the noise of the city. There is really everything you would need. The owner and his family was really nice. If you decide to book this Homestay, and we could recommend that, prepare to pay for your stay upon arrival.
