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 reviewThe host was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was good, and was very good the morning the mum was there - a very delicious treat! The view was amazing and I couldn't get enough of it. It was a very peaceful location.
The entry to the property was a little steep and had quite a few stairs. This would limit the accessibility for some people. The towels and linen could have been a bit nicer, and the room and balcony could have been a little cleaner.

Verified reviewThe staff was really nice and helpfull. The rooms were clean and hade enough space and the View was amazing. The place was like a 7 min drive from the town Ella, but you practically got a privet Tuk tuk driver, as one of the staff members drove you everywere and picked you up whenever you liked so it was not a problem. He also showed us secret waterfalls that was really amazing. I can really recomend the place!

Verified reviewThe breakfast was super delicious and the room was also clean and comfortable. The view from the terrace was amazing! The family was so nice to us, helped with everything. One evening we ordered dinner and it was the best fried rice I had after spending a year in Sri Lanka. We are very happy we chose this property in Ella - it was very authentic compared to the mass touristy places in the village.
There were quite a few steps on the way to the room, but it's common in mountains. The top floors of the house are still being finished by the family, but this is also common in Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewI don’t believe you will find a better view in Ella. It is truly jaw dropping. The room is clean and comfortable. There is a balcony to sit out on and take in the view. The breakfast was one of the more memorable of my life, see picture. The owners are lovely. The son took me to see the sights and back and forth into Ella for a reasonable rate.
This property is not suitable if you can’t climb some stairs.

Verified reviewThe view is amazing and the family is very friendly. The host cooks very well and she always has a smile for you, very lovely lady!
The rooms could be more comfortable, there was no way to let in fresh air, no mosquito net and cold tiles. The bed was alright but could have been cleaner, too. In total, the place has a lot of potential!

Verified reviewThe room view was great, the room was nice, breakfast very nice and the owners are nice as well
as the hotel is surrounded by mountains, at night you will see outside your room all sorts of insects and geckos, and a lot of insects find their way inside the room as also geckos. There are no wire nets on the windows so you will have to close everything, especially at night so there is no source of ventilation.
