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.).

AustraliaWhilst the location is fabulous, it might not be super accessible for those with mobility issues (very steep hill and driveway!).
The staff were exceptional, especially Samasundara and we loved meeting & chatting with Lakshmi. They were flexible with our needs and understanding of late notice changes. Great location, just a short walk from Ella station and Ella town. There was a beautiful view from our room, and we felt relaxed immediately. The room was very clean.

I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Ella! Perfect location right in the Ella town but on a hill, so it’s silent. Very clean. Views from balcony were great. Comfortable bed and modern bathroom with hot water. Friendly staff. Also dining area is beautiful.

United KingdomGreat views from the balcony. Very helpful staff. It’s a bit of a steep climb up the Hotel but if you need to a tuktuk can take you up. Lovely to be just where it is so you get the benefit of easy access to town without being in the middle of it and the fantastic views.

United KingdomThe property is up a steep hill not an issue for us but just in case - our taxi couldn’t get up the last part.
Great location, comfortable rooms with great views. The owners are so helpful and arranged a great day tour for us. Nothing is too much trouble for them and Breakfast was great. A kettle in the room was nice - just ask if you need to get a hairdryer. A short walk (downhill) to get to the train station.

AustraliaThe staff were very warm, friendly and exceptionally helpful. They carried all our bags upstairs and brought us pots of delicious Sri Lankan tea to have on our balcony overlooking the most picturesque view of Ella encircled in mountains. The view from my balcony was sensational - I had room 305 - and 306 has the same view. The breakfast was amazing - the fresh house made coconut roti was delicious.

United KingdomThe last few metres are a very steep climb but manageable and worth it for the views and to be away from the busy main road.
Lovely comfortable room, hot shower, furnished private balcony, immaculate bedding and towels. Sam and his friendly team looked after us very well. Good location just above the town with views over the railway station and hills. Basic accommodation, excellent value for money.
