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.).

Very loud as no isolation and no windows available, just thin wood sheds with nice ornaments, but many holes.

Verified reviewGreat value for money. Amazing breakfast included in the price, which you eat on the terrace with tree tops around it.. Outside of Ella town but easy tuk tuk ride. Lovely and quiet. The best part is the host, super helpful, welcoming and kind.

Verified reviewNew and clean facility. The host who lives on the property was welcoming, friendly, & willingly to please. He provides meals & rides in his tuk-tuk for a fee.
The room is ideal for a 1 person stay or a young couple as it is small in size. He did not have a price menu for meals.

Verified reviewOur hosts were exceptional, my friend had an accident before reaching Ella which needed medical attention and the hosts were kind enough to take us to the hospital. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt looked after. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and they offered a quick laundry service.
It was a little bit far from Ella town . However, it was very easy to get a tuktuk from the main road.

Verified reviewVery good food and super nice hosts. You feel welcomed and cared about from the heart. Breakfasts and dinner one of the best we had in Sri Lanka. We stayed 4 nights and would do so again! Very good value for money, especially for Ella. The homestay has no sign. Use google map and its the house with the laundry service sign.
The room was rather small, but sufficient for us two (and completely ok for the price!). Its a bit away from Ella town, which was for us more a plus though. The room has a small part of the wall above the window open, for light sleepers maybe not ideal, for us fresh air all night :) (we didnt have any moskito bites).

Verified reviewThe location is nice. Close to ella Town. It is located in a quiet area. Breakfast was very delicious. Nice and helpful hosts
The room and the bathroom were very dirty. The upper part of the windows is not covered with anything. So you hear absolutely everything that happens outside and vise verso. Even it is possible to enter some animals from there.The wifi was not working. Hot water was not working well
