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.).

United KingdomThe only issue we had was that they were in the process of building a new lodge/building and this meant that spending time on the balcony wasn’t as peaceful as it could have been. Obviously we appreciate that this is not avoidable and will be completed soon and we were just unfortunate with our timings.
Property was in a peaceful location, this means it is slightly further away from the centre. Hosts were great and gave lifts to and from the town in their tuk tuk. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and made you feel welcome. Breakfast on the balcony was amazing!

The view from our room was beautiful! We could see Ella Rock, and Waterfalls right opposite. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The road to the cabin was an adventure by itself as we had our own tuktuk. The staff however offered us tuktuk rides to the main road and back. The breakfast was also very delicious and it was delivered to our room by our request. I highly recommend this accommodation!

We just loved it, the owner was very caring and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The vue was breath-taking, with the waterfall and the night we could admire a sky full of stars. She changed breakfasts for more variety, which was nice. Free shuttle to the city center was very helpful :-) I would definitely recommend this room to couples who wish to have a mesmerising stay!

Nadeesha is a wonderful host and her father took us to Secret Waterfall in his tuk tuk which was an incredible experience. Breakfasts brought to the balcony in the morning were lovely. Could not be better.

Home make cooking delivered to your room and eaten balcony. Hotel staff (3 siblings) collect you from Ella town by tuk tuk. Spotlessly clean, great shower, tea and coffee in room. Would definitely recommend for quality peaceful stay.

A nice cabin for two with an amazing view in front of a waterfall away from the main road! The room is comfortable and clean and the host was so nice and .welcoming The road there is a bit challenging so a tuk-tuk drive is required but the view and silence are definitely worth it!

United KingdomWe didn’t really like the first breakfast option, but that’s because we’re not big on crepes etc. however, the next day we asked for a modified breakfast which was great. I think they should provide a menu and give people a choice as we wasted a lot of food the first time round.
This stay was as expected according to our budget. It’s a basic room with beautiful views. The staff are lovely and bend over backwards to assist you. They provide a free tuk tuk into town which is great, and organised our taxi to another destination.

Everything! From the view of the waterfall, to the delicious breakfast provided each morning by our lovely host, it was just perfect. The cabin is just a short walk down the train tracks into the centre of Ella - would highly recommend everyone to stay here. It’s a calming oasis in the hustle and bustle of Ella! Comfortable bed with gorgeous views which can be enjoyed every morning.

AustraliaThe drive up to the accomodation was quite difficult, but I think that may be normal for the area. The hosts do provide a free shuttle down to the town and walking the train line is also a nice option!
The view from this room is absolutely amazing! The room is very cosy and has such a nice balcony. We were served a delicious breakfast each morning at the time we requested. It was nice to have breakfast in our pyjamas after travelling so much. We were quite sick when we arrived and the hosts helped out so much and delivered us extra water and food.
