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 reviewVery good - clean, beautiful view, nicely located (close to the city center and the train station, though the road to reach the hotel is tiny and dark at night)
Further communication with the hosts would have been great, but they have been very nice nonetheless

Verified reviewGreeted by another wonderful Sri Lankan host, we were shown to a very large, clean, and comfortable room. Our own balcony shaded by Bougainvillea was home to many small birds. Our delightful and plentiful Srilankan breakfast was brought up to our balcony. Mountain Nest was a short walk to the Kandy lake and not too far to walk to the Temple of the Tooth , Buddhist museum , and the center of Kandy Town. Wonderful stay and highly recommended!

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay in Mountain Nest. We stayed for two nights and we could reach the centre of Ella in a few minutes by walking. The rooms were incredibly clean and the hosts were so friendly. The view when enjoying breakfast is perfect with the morning sun. Definitely recommend!

Verified reviewTough climb from road to rooms. 20 metres of very sharp gradient to navigate. Nice location. Away from hustle and bustle but a 5 minute walk to bars restaurants etc. Our shower room not the best. Bonfire out the back caused strong smell like 5th November wafting in through w/c window. Nice seating area outside room with nature views. All in all we enjoyed our 3 nights there. Shame about the shower.

Verified reviewIt was lovely to be high up felt like u in the jungle. Would definitely stay again. So quiet compared to the town and its only a 5 minute walk. The family were lovely. We had a tuk tuk which they parked in their families property below which was perfect, so they say no parking but they do next door
