How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewPerfect location to conquer Ella Rock for sunrise or all the various trails around Ella. The 30min walk from Ella center is worth it, there are many things to see and it's great to escape the hustle of the crowded areas. We felt very safe and comfortable.
A few extras like a sheet and additional toilet paper would have made our stay perfect - probably we should have asked early enough for it.

Verified reviewThe view was realy beautiful and the host was really sweet. However, our idea of cozy and clean accomodation didn't match the accomodation we got.
We were dissapointed with the breakfast that cost 3 euros each person.

Verified reviewThe view and the staff was great! Very helpful and kind
The road was very hard to drive with the car. We had to took the TukTuk to get to the hotel as the road was really bumpy. The shower didn’t work and we could use only the cold water + the sink was clogged so we had to brush our teeth under the shower. It was raining whole night so the room gets really cold in a moment. The full space wasn’t clean including the towels or the bedsheets.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing stay at this charming little homestay, located about a 30-minute walk from the center of Ella. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by lush, jungle-like nature that made for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The daily breakfast served on the balcony was delicious and offered at a very fair price. It was the perfect way to start our day, enjoying the morning view and the sounds of nature. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, always going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We felt truly welcomed. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat just outside the busy center of Ella, this place is perfect. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewThe view from the balcony is beautiful and the location adds a connection to the local life far from the tourist route. Amazing and special experience.
It os important to note that the home stay is very minimal. No hot water in the shower, no drinking water, we had to bring water bottles ourselves. Quite far from the main town but thats the charm.
