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 was amazing.
No one mentioned the fact that this property has 107 steps to climb to get to the property. People should be made known that there is no other way to get to the property without doing those stairs and if u are older or has a disability you will get stranded when u get there

Verified reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful homestay in Ella, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enriching experiences of my travels. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality from the host family. The homestay itself is nestled in the lush hills of Ella, providing stunning views that make you feel truly connected to nature. The accommodations were not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated, reflecting the local culture. My room was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. One of the highlights of my visit was the delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the family. Each dish was a delightful experience, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. They were more than happy to share recipes and stories about their culinary traditions, which added a personal touch to my dining experience. The family was incredibly welcoming and eager to share their knowledge about Ella and its surroundings. They organized a guided tour for me to explore the nearby tea plantations and waterfalls, which made my trip even more memorable. Their insights into local customs and traditions enriched my understanding of the culture. Overall, my stay at this homestay in Ella was exceptional. It offered the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and hospitality. I left feeling like I was part of the family and with memories that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend this homestay.

Verified reviewThe view of this hotel is epic! The staff are super friendly and helpful. My friend was sick on the check-in day, and even we arrived late, the host still made some simple food for her so that at least she got something to eat at night. Always with nice smile, and gave us lots of information during the stay. Highly recommended!
The water pressure from the shower a bit low.

Great breakfast Close enough to town (5-10 minute drive)but you do need transport-either own car or taxi/uber Nice bathroom and 2 double beds for our 3 people Great value-area can be a bit pricey

Verified reviewAmazing location with a great view. The rooms were also clean and well looked after. Had a good value for money over all
Probably the climb to the stairs however this was also kind of an adventure for us and a good way to burn some excess calories

Verified reviewThe view was truly stunning and the breakfast was very nice. The room was basic but it was fine, it has no Ac but a ventilator which was okay for us. The staff was friendly although it was a bit hard to communicate.
In order to get there you have to walk a very steep hill with a lot of stairs. It gets really exhausting and when you plan to stay in Ella for just a few days to explore I wouldnt recommend it because you either have to climb that hill multiple times or have to find a tuk tuk every time you want to go back.

Verified reviewHospitality. Value for only. The views
The property access is after climbing a fair amount of steep steps. It would have been ideal if it had been mentioned at the time of the booking.
