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 reviewThe view of the waterfall and surrounding hills made the property worthwhile. Breakfast was good, especially the variety of fresh fruit. The property was clean and the shower water was hot.
The room needed some refurbishing as there were nails still stuck in the wall and some furniture was starting to look and feel tired. No air conditioning, when it was hot, you obviously felt it.

Verified reviewAmazing view and nice big bedroom.
Location. Surroundings felt like a building site. No hot water and power cuts. Kettle provided but no means to make tea or coffee. No soap in the bathroom

Verified reviewThe views are stunning , and the bathroom is pretty
Cleanliness was poor. Stains on the sheets, stains on the pillows. we put T-shirts over our pillows to not sleep on the dirty stains. It might’ve been clean, and washed, but if your sheets are so yellow and stained (brown even, maybe period stains?) then it’s time to buy new white sheets. Especially because 50€+ per night is very expensive for Sri Lankan standards. If I would’ve paid 10€ a night in a hostel, I wouldn’t be complaining.

Verified reviewThe room with the balcony was really beautiful and the view was worth it. The accommodation is a bit uphill, but you can walk up via stairs and there’s no need to drive. Some renovation is needed, but overall we were satisfied.
The cushions on the balcony are left to deteriorate – they’re not brought in, so you can’t sit on them as they’re wet and dirty, exposed to the weather. Breakfast starts too late, at 8:30. The service is not great at the moment – it’s definitely not included in the price (you’re basically paying just for the view and the nice room). Even getting toilet paper takes over 2 hours, and you have to remind them. Room cleaning and towel changes are only done upon request.

Verified reviewA perfect place for a couple! The panoramic view was absolutely stunning – we had a balcony with comfortable seating where we could enjoy our mornings and evenings surrounded by nature. We woke up to the sounds of birds, and during the day squirrels and colorful birds would visit our terrace – it felt magical. The owner was extremely helpful, offering great tips on how to spend our time and organizing lovely and reliable tuk-tuk and taxi drivers for us. We felt well taken care of and truly relaxed. Highly recommended!

The service is very very poor. They did not even give us a water bottle. The behavior of staff is very bad. Please never come to this place no matter what.

Verified reviewGreat views on the waterfall and nature, big nice room with comfortable bed and great location up the hill. We booked this accommodation very spontaneously and therefore appreciated a lot that the hosts were so flexible and welcomed us so spontaneously. They organised tuktuks for us for our each of our trips and picked us up when needed. We really enjoyed our stay at Green Hearts Ella.

Verified reviewHas balcony which offers great views. Room is quite large and spacious.
Amenities were quite old and beaten down. Lack of aircon makes it unbearable during summer. Bathroom facilities were broken and is in dire need of upgrade.

Overpriced, yes the views are beautiful but the photos are misleading in my opinion, many better for value stays.

Verified reviewStayed here beginning of April. The view from the balcony is absolutely beautiful and why we booked to stay here! The room and shower are lovely and the bed is comfortable. The hosts were always available via Watsapp and provide a tuk tuk service in and out of town, and were available straight away when asked. Very convenient. Also took us to the train station very early on day of departure. Breakfast is served in the balcony with view.
Not a negative , just be aware , this accommodation is b&b, anything extra you need, make sure you buy from the shops in Ella town, as their isn’t anything available here you may need. Our fan which was the air con was on a stand that didn’t fit , the fan fell and broke and there was not a second one we could have. But I’m sure they have a new fan now!
