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.).

IndiaThe washrooms window was opening even when I was trying to close it. The shower was unmounting from the wall when I was setting it at high speed and it wasn't a quiet room there was a lot of noise coming from the hotel nearby. They could also improve the lock of the room as it's very old and screws are loose.
The staff was good, they helped us rent a bike at a very cheap price. They even serves us delicious breakfast in the morning. And the view was top notch!!

United KingdomSoundproofing was very poor so you can hear Tuk Tuks, voices, music etc. from people and places nearby within the room at night. Also there’s mould on the ceiling in both the bedroom and the bathroom, but otherwise it was clean.
The views are amazing! Absolutely awesome to watch the sunrise from the balcony. The location is a 10 min walk to town so not too bad. Breakfast is served on your balcony so that’s really nice too.

United KingdomThere was a massive tree in the way of the view, so I wasn’t able to take in the view as much as the photos show.
I enjoyed the stay for 3 nights at Misty Peak view. I had a good breakfast in the morning which was tasty. The young lad was a great assistance whenever I needed something.

United KingdomSadly there was some works going on right next door... But to be honest, you can't go anywhere in Sri Lanka without this... It didn't ruin anything by any means... There's no restaurant attached to this stay... But there is a wonderful place just next door with the same incredible view... But be aware... It's expensive 🫰
The views over the mountain are incredible... You can just lie in bed and look out... Breakfast was on the little terrace looking out over the view... Very nice and calming... Sweetest young man took care of us...

BangladeshNeed few toiletries and insect killer in the bed side drawer. These few items may make it a 4.5 star accommodation.
Front view amazing within the hurt of Ella Town and nearby European style restaurants. However, reach from the main road requires tuktuk which is a great 2 min ride. It's not negative point at all. I would appreciate if the owner clarifies it in the property details. Because of the hilly roads a car ride may feel difficult. The breakfast was amazing and hospitality of the staff who serve it is beyond words. Comfy bed and clean room.

United StatesThe rooms were a bit underwhelming. We had some ants in our bathroom (though this seems hard to fully prevent in any of the hostels around Ella), but it was otherwise pretty clean. It was just a bit below my expectations based on all of the amazing reviews, but honestly for the price it was still a great value!
The view from our room was lovely. Breakfast was served every morning on our front porch, and it was extremely large and very delicious. It was much, much quieter here than the main strip of Ella town, but an easy 5-10 minute walk to get to the main shops and restaurants.

United KingdomAccess to the second guest room was via the shared balcony so there was a lack of privacy (good curtains) Aldi close to other properties do some noise.
The room was clean and well laid out with a big bathroom and space around the sink to put your things. It was lovely to have a kettle and also a fridge to keep our drinks cool. The breakfasts on all three mornings was excellent and filled us up for the day. Can see Ella Rock Pleasant hosts and helpful during our stay

AustraliaThe porch needs a blind or something in the morning to block the sun, we had to eat breakfast in the room often because it was so hot. You also have to walk past another room to get to it, which was fine but it would have been nicer to be more private.
The view is incredible and the location not far from town. Room is a good size, so is the bathroom. Breakfast every morning was amazing and Raju and Avishka were excellent hosts. The view is better than 98 Acres where our friends paid over USD300 a night! It's absolutely beautiful

SerbiaGreat phone communication with the original host. However, the stuff that was there and communicating in person didn't speak English well, and it was hard to get any info, plus they were flirty, so it wasn't the safest feeling as solo female traveler. The balcony view was nice, although those construction columns ruin it a bit. They bring you breakfast from the house nearby and it was the best thing! A lot of great food, all the compliments to the chef! All in all, nice stay but wouldn't come back.

AustraliaThe only thing I could think of is, to get to the room at the end you have to walk past the first room via the balcony which might bother some people but we were the only ones staying so it was not a problem
the views, the Sri Lankan breakfast, quiet as there are only 2 rooms and so you almost have the place to yourself
