Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

ArmeniaI was happy to be there, just some small changes: I would add a bed sheet as a cover, for me fleece blanket is not enough. Also some furniture is needed to keep clothes for long staying, may be some shelves and hangers
It’s very authentic villa with very beautiful view from the hill and so testy breakfasts:) Amazing friendly and helpful hosts! thank you so much ☺️. You should walk to the hill for some time or go by tuktuk (not car) to reach the villa from the Ella centre. It was arranged for free to help us with the luggage when we came and when we left. I could hardly sleep because of the sounds: a lot of birds were singing or chirping, squirrels were playing on the roof, there were some sounds from the Buddhist temple 5-5:30 am every night - but all of these things were incredible anyway. Already missing 🥹

United KingdomAbsolutely beautiful villa in a quiet spot away from the busy-ness of Ella but close enough to walk to and do the main attractions (we did a circuit including Little Adam's Peak and The nine arch railway. Lovely balcony where you could sit out and take it all in. My boys loved their little "attic" room where there beds were. Amazing breakfast- different both days we stayed there.

PolandAlthought place needs a little renovation. I am an allergic and it was a bit dusty. Bed sheets could be more clean and bathroom a bit moderate. But the view was totally worth it
Beautiful location and the best view ever in the middle of the jungle. Tasty breakfast and healthy stuff. Close distance to Ella town by tuk tuk and area was so peacefull and wonderful.

GermanyWe really loved this place. The little wooden cottage is located on a quit hill with a beautiful Mountain View facing the monastery. You are surrounded by nature and animals. The staff is super friendly and helpful. But my favorite part about this place was the breakfast.

IndiaA truly cozy retreat with breathtaking views and a peaceful ambiance. The cabin is spacious, comfortably accommodating up to five people, and features a clean and roomy bedroom. The breakfast was homemade and absolutely delicious, adding a warm and personal touch to the stay. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with parking and carrying our luggage to the villa. While the location is a bit remote, it adds to the serene charm of the place. Travelers with larger vehicles may find access slightly challenging, but our small car had no trouble. If you’re planning to walk from Ella town, it’s approximately 2.5 kilometers—a scenic stroll for those who enjoy exploring. Overall, a wonderful getaway!
