How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe view and the location is excellent. Waking up to the views of the mountains and the waterfall was unbeatable. The breakfast was perfect. Isuranga, the host was amazing. He took us to Yala and stayed on the safari all day with us. He made sure that everything about our stay was amazing and then took us to Arugum Bay at the end of our trip.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe view and the lovely hosts who were always around to support was a gift. We couldn’t do so much in Ella because we got sick but the hosts completely cared about us and did everything that we get better asap. Thank you for all the delicious cooking and always be there if we needed something. Really appreciate! Because of our sickness, we really enjoyed to be completely private - with an outstanding view :) It was the best place to recover. It is close to the city and other sightseeing points in Ella. We would stay definitively again!
It was all perfect!

Verified reviewWe stayed in Aloft view for 3 nights and it was amazing, Isuranga was extremely helpful. He helped us with your train tickets, he organised a Tuk Tuk taxi into the centre every evening and organised laundry service for us. The views from the room are spectacular, especially at sunrise. We got a lovely breakfast each morning with fruit and juice and it was different each day so we got to try loads of new dishes. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Ella.

Verified reviewFantastic views and great breakfast. Really lovely and helpful hosts. Happy to organise transport and activities. About a 20-25 minute walk into the centre of Ella or a quick tuktuk costing around £1.30. Much nicer than staying in the centre of busy Ella! The water temperature for the shower was unpredictable - either boiling hot or freezing cold! There was also some building work going on so a little less privacy but this will be great once it’s finished! Would definitely recommend and stay again :)

Verified reviewThe hotel was clean and comfortable, making our stay very pleasant. The view was absolutely breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. The laundry service was excellent and well-prepared, which was very convenient. Additionally, communication with the owner was immediate and hassle-free. The only downsides were that we didn’t have hot water for one night, but the owner immediately tried to fix the issue. The breakfast was just okay. Also, they are building additional floors upstairs, so construction noise could be heard in the morning.
Thank you very much for your feedback and we wish your dreams come true in the near future.

Verified reviewBeautiful view from the property and lovely hosts. Wonderful breakfasts.
There was construction work going on above us whilst we were there and the glass windows mean the room isn’t very private. There is only one guest room at the property. You are dependent upon a Tuktuk getting to and from the property and the pickup app in Ella is useless and there is so much demand the Tuktuk drivers don’t even bother negotiating for rides so travel around works out more expensive than other areas we stayed in.

Also the breakfast was really great and was served to the balcony of our room. The town is only 20min away by feet or max. 10min by a Tuc Tuc

Verified reviewAloft view was perfect for our stay in Ella. The views were priceless over the mountains and the city and since it is a 5min ride away from the city center it is very quiet up there. It was incredibly clean in comparison to other places we stayed in Sri lanka and also offered shampoo, shower gel, a hair dryer, kettle and a smal fridge. The WiFi was good and the hot water in the shower came quickly. The owners of aloft view are super kind and accommodating, they organized tuktuks and laundry service for us. The breakfast was homemade and very delicious. I read a comment here about privacy; it is next to a small way but there are not many people coming by, since it is not even big enough for cars. We really enjoyed our stay here and say thanks to Isuranga and Lakmali for their hospitality and their good advice for restaurants and sightseeing places🙏
The only improvement could be an AC but Ella is in the mountains so the weather is mostly not very hot.
