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.).

United KingdomLovely stay at the Blossom Inn, just off the main strip and nearby Nine Arch and Little Adam’s Peak - the family are lovely and helpful, and can help you plan your days whilst staying in Ella. I stayed an extra night last minute and they sorted it for me with about 5 minutes notice, very grateful. I would book to stay here again.

NetherlandsThe location was the best! Just a short walk of the busy street in Ella but in a nice and quiet street. The room was nice and spacious for the three of us but more can fit easily. Also the communal area is very nice to relax. The family that runs the hotel is so sweet. They gave us tips to do in the heat to cool down. My son loved playing with the cats 😻

RomaniaThe room is a bit small, especially if you have luggage, there was a start of mold, humidity is high, the house has some construction going on and it was right under the window, the towels were pretty old and had a weird smell.
The host was super nice and helpful, great welcoming, kind people, gave a lot of details and tips. The location is close to center, points of interest.

Singapore- I think the biggest thing was the taxes being charged when this was not stated in the booking, and we were not told of this in advance. The host said she was discussing with booking.com to include this information but it should not have been arbitrarily added on before it’s properly included in the booking, or at the very least, the host should inform guests about it in advance when we book. - No hairdryer in the room. We borrowed one from the host and it spoilt during our first use with a burning smell and there was no other hairdryer available.
- The homestay is in a quiet & peaceful location within walking distance to the noisy main road. We walked everywhere, including to Ella Rock trailhead, Little Adam’s Peak trailhead, and Nine Arch Bridge - Our room was spacious - we got the family room for the AC and it can fit 5 people but we were only 2 - The beds and pillows were comfortable - AC worked well - Shower pressure and hot water were good - Clothes rack in the room - The host was rather helpful whenever we had queries - There was a power cut during our stay (this is common in Sri Lanka) and we appreciate that she informed us in advance so we could charge our devices etc first.

CanadaNothing not to like. Good value and comfort.
The family were very kind and genuine people who really wanted to ensure that their guests were happy and taken care of.. it's in close walking distance to shops and restaurants. Just a tip, because it's in town you will hear music and celebrating on the weekends. If you want complete quiet nights go to a place where you have to walk to town. I liked being close to everything I need after hiking and I travel with earplugs. 😁

United KingdomThe best stay for your trip to Ella! The family that run Blossom Inn are the best, their kindness, hospitality and commitment to ensuring you have an amazing time in Ella is touching. The rooms are well kept and the location is perfect (just as short walk into Ella Town). Whenever I needed something sorted, whether that be recommendations, a scooter, a tour guide for my Ella Rock hike, a driver, laundry, the hosts were immediately responsive and happy to help. I cannot recommend Blossom Inn enough!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The owner was so warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. One of the unique features of this hotel is the courtyard-like space between the rooms, which created a fantastic atmosphere for guests to mingle and chat with one another. It was a great way to meet new people and share travel experiences. The hotel's location couldn't be better. Situated right in the heart of Ella, it was incredibly easy to visit popular attractions like Adams Peak and Nine Arch Bridge. Having restaurants and supermarkets just a stone's throw away was also a huge plus. I was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness and upkeep of the accommodations. The rooms were spotless, and it was evident that the staff took great pride in maintaining a high standard of hygiene. Overall, I had an incredible experience at this hotel, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ella. The combination of friendly staff, great location, and clean facilities made for an unforgettable stay.
