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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomGreat location near the train station and the Main Street in Ella. Very clean. There’s no aircon but that’s not a problem as it’s not that warm in Ella at night and the fan they have in the room does a good job at cooling you down.

IndiaQuite a cute and nice stay. We really liked the host's proactiveness in terms of welcoming us with Tea and trying to stay ahead in case we needed help with finding directions or parking. The fact that it's very near to the railway station is a added bonus. Good vfm overall.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect.
This is, without a doubt, the best place to stay in Ella. The owners and their daughter treated me like a family member. They were incredibly supportive when I was bitten by a snake and needed to go to the hospital. They came to the hospital without any hesitation, and as soon as I told them I was in the hospital. They stayed with me in the hospital for nearly 6 hours, also sorting out transport back to the hotel as it was late (around 1am). I should also add that this was all during their public holiday (New Year), and the hospital was around a 40-minute drive away. They supported me like they would be a family member, which was incredibly kind and appreciated as I was travelling on my own. Throughout my stay, they have gone above and beyond in making sure that I feel like at home. They were always available and happy to help with anything. In addition to the owners and their daughter being amazing hosts and the kindest people I have met, the location is perfect (just a short walk to the main road with great restaurants and shops), the bed is super comfortable, and the room feels very homely. I honestly can not recommend this place enough, and I will definitely be back one day.

BangladeshClean and comfortable room, good bathroom, good location, reasonable price. The owner was friendly. He helped me find a luxury AC bus to Colombo and booked a seat on it for me, which I would never be able to find. He even accompanied me to the bus stop, waited with me, and helped me find the bus and get on it. Finding the bus would also probably not be possible for me.
