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.).

BelgiumIt’s located quite far from Ella, which makes it expensive to get a tuktuk back and forth. Of course, the location is clearly visible on the map and if you have your own means of transportation this isn’t an issue at all. Don’t let this stop you from spending time at this beautiful place.
By far our best accommodation in Sri Lanka! The room is spacious, tastefully decorated, with a clean bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The view from the balcony (both from the room and the breakfast area) is breathtaking and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. To top it off, breakfast is fresh, copious and with a good mix of local and more Western options. The only thing we regret is that we could stay only one night.

IsraelWe knew in advance it is 12 km (half hour drive) from Ella town so this didn’t bother us. We felt it was worth it for the views.
This is where you stay if you want the best view possible of Ella. It’s simply amazing!!!!! Our balcony (from the top apartment) faced this glorious view and it was more beauty than one could take in! The room was spacious, clean, very comfortable and new. Everything needed is there including a small fridge and sitting area. Shower was great with hot water. Breakfast patio facing the glorious view - serving great breakfast. Bed was big and comfortable. Service was perfect. And the quiet was lovely with only jungle noises. Also on a clear night the sky was full of stars and on a clear morning the sunrise was incredible (we felt no need to climb at sunrise given the balcony view.) A rare find in Sri Lanka, truly a gem.

AustraliaNothing. It's perfect (if you don't mind being out of town).
The most amazing view in Sri Lanka. We had the room at the top and could watch the sunrise off our private balcony every morning. The room is super clean and comfortable with an epic shower. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the breakfast is by far the best we have had! They also had the cutest puppy to play with named Tiana. The villa is 30 minutes out of Ella centre but is absolutely worth it for the view. We hired a scooter off the owner and enjoyed our ride in each day. You can also easily organise a Tuk Tuk for a ride in each day. If you like amazing views, complete peace and quiet, and to be out of the bustle of the city this place is for you! Just don't expect heaps of restaurants around as you'll have to ride for 5-10 minutes minimum to eat dinner.

United KingdomThe location is very far from Ella, and there are no good restaurants or places to eat in the nearby area. Best to have your own transport, but it felt like I spent much of my time driving to and from Ella. Wifi was not very reliable (possibly weather related?). Note that the rooms on the lower floor have views obscured by vegetation.
Incredible views, fantastic breakfast, very friendly staff, immaculately clean room. Can't fault the accommodation itself.

GermanyIf you want to enjoy the best balcony view in Sri Lanka, book the Eagle View. It doesn't get any better than that. You can see for miles but you won't see any buildings, not even in the distance. What you can see is thunderstorms building up dramatically and coming towards you. You can really see eagles, hummingbirds, chipmunks - it's pristine nature out there (25 min south of Ella town). At night, all you hear is jungle noises, no traffic, no neighbours. Eagle View has only three rooms so consider yourself lucky if you've got one. The staff are the nicest and most caring people, you will really love it there (if you are a nature lover). Really comfy bed, too, and a nice bathroom. Unbelievable breakfast! What you need to know: you've got to pay for your room in cash when you check out. Also, there is no AC but two powerful fans. And the WiFi connections fizzles out every time there's a rain front coming through. Otherwise a perfect place!

AustraliaThe best accommodation we stayed at in our entire trip to sri lanka. We got the top floor room with air con. The room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. the view was amazing and we saw an eagle fly past our room in the morning. The staff were very nice and friendly. Everything was great about this villa. the only issue we had was that there weren’t much restaurants or stores to buy food/snacks. One of the hosts did take us to a nearby restaurant but I would recommend to bring some snacks with you and enjoy them with a nice tea in the evening.

AustraliaOne drawback of this hotel is its location, which is 30 minutes out of town. This means there aren't many nearby cafes or restaurants, and you'll need your own transport to get around.
This lovely hotel, perched on a hill, has stunning views. The rooms are super comfortable, equipped with mosquito nets to ensure a safe and undisturbed night's sleep. Although the room lacks air conditioning, it has several fans to keep you cool. The staff is extremely friendly and helful. To top it all off, the breakfast is absolutely amazing, offering a great start to your day.

SlovakiaEverything was perfect about our stay! The rooms very huge, clean, bright, they had everything you needed (AC, fan, net, mini fridge) the bathroom was also very nice and clean and the view was amazing!! We also loved the location, its around 30 min on scooter (the owner helped us with renting a scooter) to Ella, which we did not mind as we hate loud and touristic places like Ella. This place was thus perfect for us to relax and unwind and hide from all the tourism and commercialization. The breakfast were perfect, so so delicious and fresh!! And the owner and the boys were all very kind, helpful and nice. They even made us dinner one day and booked a tuktuk for us on last day as we needed to catch early train to Kandy. Overall it was perfect stay and I would recommend it to everyone!
