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.).

ItalyEverything was perfect
The Cozy Forest is a beautiful relaxing solution if you want to spend some days in Ella. The rooms are big, comfortable and very clean. The host was very kind, helped us on any request we had and explained what to do in the days we were there. The position is a little outside of Ella but in a few minute in tuk tuk is possible to easily reach the city center. To be out of the city is a huge advantage because is quiet.

United Arab EmiratesFor a solo traveler it's good but I feel for a small family it will be a bit messy as there is no wardrobe/cabinet/cupboard to put the stuff
The place is calm, quote and cozy in the middle of mountains and trees.

United KingdomBugs ahhh! We got used to them quickly though and it wasn’t that bad. Inevitable part of staying in the amazing location surrounded by nature.
I stayed here with my girlfriend and we had an incredible time here. It was quiet, great view of the sky and stars and the hosts were so unbelievably welcoming and lovely. Apeksha was always helpful and responsive, in providing mosquito repellent, extra towels etc. without even requesting. The food was also incredible (better than most restaurants we had in Ella!). We also were in desperate need for laundry service which they were able to provide and do a great job in a short turnaround. 10/10 definitely recommend.

BelgiumVery beautifully located in nature, with big windows so you can just lay on the bed and watch the trees. Far away from the loud city life, this feels like landing on an island of peace and quiet. The place has only been opened for two months, so everything is very new and clean. The owner is so kind. She will help you with all your questions about what to do around Ella and how to get there, the little local hikes and which bus to take to go where you want to. There is also a tuktuk available, nice breakfast and dinner (don't know about lunch, didn't ask), laundry service et cetera. When we arrived we got some tea and cookies. Her English is good so communication is fluent, and her son also sometimes helps out. A very kind young man. Nearby there are a couple of little restaurants and shops. To get there we had their tuktuk pick us up which was 800 rupee, if we didn't have the luggage we either hiked up or down to Ella (nice walk!) or took the bus. Ella city is touristic and expensive as far as I'm concerned, but this place offers the nature and relaxation you need. To go to the room it is quite uphill, just to be informed for people who have difficulties walking. I've seen people come back here and so would I!

Sri LankaWe had a wonderful stay at this brand new property. The family who runs it are incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The room was immaculately clean, and the location, though slightly outside the busy Ella town, was perfect for us – a tranquil jungle retreat just a 10-15 minute tuk-tuk ride away. We loved being surrounded by nature. The option for homemade meals was a huge plus, and the breakfast we had was exceptional. The value for money is outstanding, especially compared to other accommodations in the area. If you want a clean, quiet, and affordable stay, this is the place

This place is an absolute gem! From the moment you arrive, the hosts make you feel at home – they are incredibly attentive, ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect stay. They always welcome you with a smile and kindness. It is a wonderful family who will make you feel like a part of it. The entire place is spotless, with a fresh and modern feel, as everything is new, including the appliances. Comfort is clearly a priority here – the mattress is wonderfully cosy, and the crisp, clean sheets make for a great night’s sleep. Thoughtful little touches, like plenty of sockets for your devices and bedside lamps with warm lighting, create a relaxing ambience, something you don’t always find in other accommodations. Hot water is always available, and every detail has been carefully considered to make your stay as comfortable as possible. And then there’s the food – homemade, fresh, and absolutely delicious! Every meal is a treat. But the true highlight? The stunning balcony with breathtaking views of rolling hills, lush trees, and the soothing sounds of birds singing. Watching the sunset from here is pure magic. The location is just perfect – tucked away from the main road and the touristy hustle and bustle of Ella, so you can enjoy total peace and quiet, with no traffic noise to disturb you. It is located in Kithal Ella which is a walking distance from Ella with beautiful views or just a short tuk-tuk ride if you don't want to walk. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and truly welcoming place to stay, this is it. Do yourself a favour and book this place – you won’t want to leave!
