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 reviewA truly spectacular location, straight out of a movie. Looking at the very beautiful waterfall while having breakfast or just hanging out on the porch, stunning peacocks casually flying up to the tree and chilling on a branch, all sorts of lovely bird songs... Other than that, the family was quite nice, the breakfast was decent, the room was spacious (with both a king and queen-sized bed, I guess to accommodate families), and far enough away from the commercialized cesspool that is Ella.
The way to the homestay is quite treacherous, tuk tuks charge 800-1000 to and from there, and Pickme doesn't work in Ella. Also, do not rent a scooter from the family, they supplied an absolute dated unit that could barely get me and my gf up the hill. We returned it and rented a proper motorbike downtown, it pays off if you're planning on driving around the highlands.
Thank you for your review but scooter not our i arrange nother place i dont it have some mistake sorry

Verified reviewIt's a house in a privileged setting, but the best thing about it is undoubtedly the host's attention. She welcomes you as if you were family and takes care of you throughout your stay. She also provides all the help you need to have a wonderful experience in Ella.

Cold shower. We had dinner and were surprised that it was more expensive than dinner in town. Dinner was nice but not better than in town.

Verified reviewPriceless views from balcony/room and breakfast location!! Breakfast was delicious and a lot for only one. Room was clean and as pictured, hosts very kind and helping out if in need, definitely recommend!
Water pressure was not perfect, but fine for me. It is a lil walk from town, but as long as you stitch to the railways there‘s no dusty up and down! Nothing that made my stay less worthy tho! Totally enjoyed staying in the peace of nature!

Verified reviewThe stay was absolutely fantastic. The holiday home is set in the hills of Ella, and the upstair rooms and the dining area offered a scenic Mountain View with Kithala Ella waterfall cascading down the mountain. Though the waterfall was a little away, we could hear it’s sound day and night, like natures music. The rooms were comfortable and had the facilities as viewed in Booking.com. The hostess Shammi and her husband were very caring and cooked us delicious breakfast and dinner. There was hot water to shower which was great. We could see and hear peacocks from our rooms. There were many birds in the area including black hooded orioles, an Indian Paradise flycatcher, many parrots, red vented bul buls and the more common backers and sun birds in the area. One friend was unwell and Shammi prepared us a Samahan, a locally produced tea for colds, which cured her! She also found our driver accommodation in a house next to us. There is ample parking space available
The road to the home stay was narrow and winding, and it was a bit difficult for us to find the place.However Shammi and her husband guided us so we arrived without much trouble.

Verified reviewMost amazing view from the room I've ever experienced. The host is truly amazing, helped us out a lot and she cooks delicious meals. Location was comfortable. A short walk to city centre, but far enough so you'll be out of the Ella-hectic.
Wifi didn't always perform a 100%, and the shower was sometimes cold during the day.
Thank you for your review and i chack wifi and hot water

Verified reviewWow, this has been our favourite homestay during our month in Sri Lanka. It is 15 minute walk from the centre of Ella but the walk is 100000% worth it! The lovely family cook you a fantastic breakfast that you can eat with the view of the spectacular waterfall, we had peacocks land on the branches outside our room, the bed and pillows were comfy and the shower is the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka, so hot and powerful!
Everything was amazing!

Verified reviewThe views from the room are incredible to wake up to in the morning. The food served in the restaurant are great and the family are kind and welcoming. I really recommend this place if you love to be somewhere quiet in nature but not too far from the city.
Can’t think of anything.
