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.).

Polanda little far from the station. Tuktuk from main road was 500 rupee but you can also walk. At breakfast coffee was Nescafe instant. (I guess it's nomal in Sri Lank.) Tea was delicious. Neighbor building was under construction from morning till midnight. It was noisy. (There are constructions everywhere in Ella but usually not untill night.)
Clean cozy room, sofa, chair, big laundry rack, hot shower, and nice balcony Wi-Fi works great, friendly owner It's right in front of exit for nine arch bridge and Adam's peak. I recommend here!

BelgiumWe had a wonderful stay at Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and ideal for families. Each of our children had their own bed, which gave everyone some much-needed privacy and comfort after a long journey — a real plus! The location is excellent — just a couple of minutes short walk from the center of Ella, so it’s easy to explore the town. There’s also a great outdoor area with a large terrace, comfortable chairs, and a relaxing hammock — perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or sightseeing. Most of all, we truly appreciated the warm welcome and kindness of the guesthouse owner. His hospitality made us feel right at home and really added to the experience. We highly recommend Breeze Blows Inn Guesthouse to anyone visiting Ella!

CanadaI was originally given the room on the 2nd floor, but I had a big, heavy suitcase and didn't want anyone lugging it up 2 long, fairly narrow flights of stairs. So the owner offered me the bigger family room on the 1st floor. It was still 1 flight of stairs up, but better than the first option. So it's just something to keep in mind if you have big/heavy bags - there are no rooms on the ground floor. It would've been nice more space to hang clothes and towels, like a small closet with hangers or at least some more hooks or towel racks in the bathroom (its a large bathroom and there's definitely room for these improvements). The room sleeps 4, so I can't imagine where everyone would hang their stuff...
The homestay owner was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and he was willing to prepare a very early breakfast for me, although I chose not to have breakfast. It's a fairly new accommodation, it's clean and comfortable.

What a neat spot! Great location for walking to Little Adam’s Peak, and access to the nine arches bridge is right across the road. Our host was very caring and the room was a very generous size. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching life down below on the street.

Everything! We totally recommend this place, the staff/manager was so friendly and we were even offered some snacks and coffee/tea upon arrival. The room was big and clean, there were a lot of facilities (e.g. minifridge etc.) and the balcony was as well very pretty. The street in frond has a lot of traffic but after 9pm it gets really quiet. There is no AC but a good fan and because of the cooler temperatures in Ella AC is not necessary. The location itself was just PERFECT, it‘s a 10min walk to the Nine Arches Bridge through stunning jungle and just 5-10min by foot to the centre of Ella!

Very nicely appointed room, lovely bathroom and deck on which breakfast is served. Great location opposite track to nine arch bridge and close to walk to little Adam’s peak and far enough from town to avoid noise from pubs/clubs. It’s less than 15 min walk to town. Uphill walk back. Breakfast was great and the hospitality wonderful the owner gave us a ride to the railway station on departure which was so nice of him. Highly recommended

United KingdomThe room overlooks a road which can be a bit noisy during the day. The hot water in the shower doesn't last for long but is enough to have a shower.
The owner of this homestay was very friendly and is constantly looking at ways to improve. The room on the second floor was a good size with a couch and small table. The balcony is a lovely place to have breakfast and sit in the evening. Breakfast was plentiful and had fruit, toast, hoppers and sweet pancakes. They arranged a driver to take us to Tangalle for a reasonable price when we left

AustraliaWe had a lovely two nights at the Breeze Blows Inn. If you have a Tuktuk or scooter the location is perfect, just a few minutes from town, but also not bad just walking. Right by the entrance to the Nine Arch Bridge path and Little Adam’s trail head. Staff was super responsive and genuinely nice! The breakfast makes it high up in our list across hotels in Sri Lanka. The room is spacious with small little details that make you feel right at home.

QatarI wish they served a traditional al Sri Lankan breakfast like string hoppers and sambol to complete the experience instead of toast. But hey they do give e hoppers and the fresh fruits and juice so all is good.
The room was beautiful! It was clean, spacious and very close to the attractions that we wanted to visit so that’s a major plus. The way going to nine arches are just right outside the gate of the left side and if you walk about 5-10mins right side you will get to the Little Adams Peak trail. Very accessible and very safe. Tharindus was kind enough to drop us to the train station on our check out day. That was nice of him.

The room at the second floor is perfect. Recently constructed, very cleaned and comfortable with everything you need. The balcony is very cozy, great for having breakfast under the sun and to chill out in the evening watching the beautiful green landscape. In addition to this, what makes Breeze Blows Inn the perfect accommodation in Ella, are: the hosts - they really care for the guests, they bring you to the station with tuk tuk for free, they pack the breakfast and give many advices; the location - the inn is right in front the entrance of the shortcut for the nine arch bridge and very close to the little Adam’s peak path, good also to go to the main road of the city by foot for only 5 mins walk.

The owner is a very warm hearted person and very helpful, he made the best breakfast every morning for us, that we had in all of Sri Lanka and served it to us on our balcony. Also the location is super good, you are right opposite of the starting point from the track to the famous 9 arches bridge and easy walking distance to the starting point to climb Little Adam’s Peak. There are also a few very nice local food places just around the corner (Cafe Umbrella and Cafe Eden). He also picked us up and brought us to the bus station on our departure day.
