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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomThe room was spacious and cool. It had a lovely balcony with views of Ella. There was so much food for breakfast which we loved! The staff were super helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay. They organised a moped for us as well as a trip to the National Park along with a packed lunch. This was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka!

United KingdomSaman and his family were so welcoming and helpful ... an amazing spot with views straight on to Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. Monkeys performed acrobatics in the trees in front of our balcony ...even stole our peanuts and eat them in front of us... such a great spot. Easy to walk to 9 Arches and Adam's Peak and in to town. Very quiet as up a back lane and the breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka... a great find!

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like - just need to be aware the property is not suitable for a car to drive right up to the property.
So peaceful and quiet at the Felicity Inn surroundings made you feel like you were in the jungle even though you were a very short walk to the centre of Ella. Room was very spacious and clean, tea and coffee facilities in your room as well as bottled water. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and the hosts were brilliant couldn't do enough for you. Would have stayed longer if had the time.

Our room had a cute cottage vibe and shaded terrace facing the valley away from the town center. The breakfast was delicious and very generous. The host gave us some good recommendations and offered to take us to the train station for free.

AustraliaWe were a little surprised how far from the centre of town Felicity Inn is located. However this was never any problem as Saman was always able to get us to our desired destinations.
Fabulous view, delicious and generous breakfast (enough to take away for a snack later) and friendly helpful hosts. Saman organized our train seat bookings and Tuktukked us wherever we wanted to go.

Saman & his family were amazing during our stay! The location was perfect & the view you get from the villa was stunning. This was by far our best stay during our trip to Sri Lanka. The breakfast was 10 out of 10, and we had something different every day which allowed us to try different Sri Lankan dishes; make sure you ask for the pancakes too! They also helped us with a transfer & generally were just really helpful. Thanks Saman!
