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 reviewVery nice owners, flexible and helpful, the rooms was very good, the bed had mosquito net, good breakfast, all was very good.
I saw it’s 1,8 km from Ella center, but did not realise that the road to it was all the way up, quite steep. I like walking , so I still did walk :)

Verified reviewWe stayed at Broad View for five nights and were very happy with our stay! The owners (the family) were incredibly kind and helpful. They assisted us in renting a scooter and even offered a convenient laundry service at the property. We had great breakfast every morning and a tasty local dinner two nights :-) Our room was clean, with hot water and a fan, which made our stay comfortable. To reach the property, you need to walk up some stairs—it took us about two minutes and wasn’t a problem at all. Overall good value for money!! :-)
Sometimes the Wi-Fi could be a little slow.
Thank you

Verified reviewBroad View Hotel is a very good place to stay. When I arrived, I got a welcome tea and some biscuits. The huge room was in Perfect condition, I Even had a blow dryer. There’s also warm water. The hotel offers excellent breakfast. Because I liked the pancakes so much, i got two of them every Morning! When I left with the Early train, I got breakfast to go from my hosts. They also offer good laundry Service! Thanks a Lot for the very convenient stay! I had 4 wonderful days.
If you want to book it, do Not expect balkonies with view into the Mountains, Even though it is called Broad View. There is Only a Little View in the Restaurant. But nevertheless it is worth staying there, because the Environment is very nice and the rooms are beautiful!

Verified reviewNice, boutique guest house with lovely staff. Also provided locally cooked breakfast.
Even though it is not too far from Ella station, it is located in a steep hilly road which is hard to walk up, and even tuk tuks charge extra to drop at the guest house.

Verified reviewFabulous place just be aware that there are allot of steps to get up from the railway station to the house if you are walking. You can get a tuktuk up the road too but note that you also have to walk up a few steps from the road.

Verified reviewWe liked the views, and being up in the mountains. The bed was very comfy and we appreciated the big squishy pillows. The bathroom wasn’t great, it felt cold and damp. They provided a fan which was nice and a wall lamp. We liked the views from the eating area. They have a very cute dog and nice children.
The food was ok (another bland) and the portions sizes were small too, they gave us chicken one night even though we are vegetarian. There was a mix up with the rooms but I would definitely check that you are getting the room that is advertised as they don’t have pictures up of the one we stayed in. There’s construction near by and it’s a long way from the town center on steep muddy roads.

Verified reviewIt’s a beautiful location with an amazing view and the breakfast was delicious. They were very helpful with arranging a motorbike and tuktuk for me quickly and flexible with leaving the luggage there on my last day.
Most taxis/tuktuk wont go up the hill to drop you at the hotel, they will leave you one road down and you have to walk up the steps so just keep this in mind if you have heavy luggage, or maybe arrange transport with the property beforehand. On my last day the lady organized a tuk for me which picked me up from the hotel so I didn’t have to go down the stairs.

Verified review**Amazing Stay at Broad View Hotel!** I had a wonderful experience at Broad View Hotel. The hospitality was truly heartwarming — the staff and the hosting family were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, full of flavor and served with care. The view from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking — a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. A few small improvements could make the stay even better: - It would be great to have water, cups, and a heater in the room for tea or coffee. - Providing mini soap and shampoo in the bathroom would be helpful. - A few cloth hangers in the restroom would also be convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Broad View Hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Would definitely love to come back! --- Ruwan
Everything was great.
