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.).

NetherlandsSome points to consider. The sheets were not entirely clean and were replaced. During breakfast glasses and other items were not clean and were replaced. We feel that the staff is not focused on monitoring these things. Also scrambled egg during breakfast was cold. In general , some process improvement seems to be necessary. Also with some staff members English communication is rather difficult although that can be trained. The general manager offered (without requesting) a reasonable discount for us indicating a good reflection and self awareness.
Ella inn is nicely situated in the center of Ella and in walking distance from the railway station. The rooms are very nice, comfortable and modern.

United KingdomIt wasn’t clear that the rooms are in an open courtyard and the door opens right to the outdoors. There is a curtain. There is a gate to the courtyard but it’s always open. We were concerned about safety because of this but everything was fine. it was quite expensive but Ella is expensive generally especially for centrally located places

FranceAll was really great. Thank you for your welcome and hospitality
The Ella Inn Hotel is a great location to stay in Ella, very close to the main street, but located in a small street, so you benefit from a very quiet area. The room located on the ground floor was very large with a cosy sofa corner, very large bathroom as well. The breakfast was really tasty ans copious with fruits, toasts and jam, eggs (as you like it for the preparation), pancakes, juice, tea or cofee. Thank you for this delicious way to begin the day! A kettle in the room allow to make a break with a tea or coffee. The manager was very attentive and helpful to give information and find a car for our next trip continuation.
