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.).

Sri LankaLocation was not the same on the map, it’s further from the main town that I thought. In the end that turned out to be better though, as the town is very lively and I can imagine at night it’s really loud to stay there, whereas here it was very peaceful. The problem with the location is the road isn’t accessible by vehicles, and we were a family of 12 in a minibus. On booking it says it has parking, but the road is too steep and not maintained well that our driver could not go up to the hotel, this meant that we had to hire a tuk tuk at the bottom of the hill to take our baggage to the hotel. There was no other tuk tuks around (as it’s not in the town), so the rest of us had to walk up the hill to check in. My aunt has Parkinson’s disease and uses a walking stick, so this was really uncomfortable for her. It would be better if it was advertised properly, as we chose this hotel because it said it had the road access and parking. When you get to the hotel, everything’s on different floors, with really narrow and steep staircases. The steps are all unevenly spaced so my aunt had to be really careful as it was easy for everyone to misjudge the steps. My aunts twin room was also on the third floor, which meant she had to climb up 4 flights of stairs to reach her room. Again just if it was advertised properly then we would have known. Everyone had the same complaint that the beds were quite uncomfortable with incredibly hard pillows.
The most amazing view from the rooms! Big roof terrace overlooking the mountain valley, which was great for our group of 12 to sit and hangout on! Rooms had everything you need - fridge, kettle, hair dryer, hot water. The men working at the hotel were amazing! When my mother and brother fell sick, they brought Ayurvedic medicine to help settle their stomachs, and just couldn’t do enough for us!!!

Amazing view and a clean room. Very friendly personnel and a good selection for breakfast. They will even do your laundry and bring you to the Ella railway station if needed. We also had a parking spot for our rented Tuktuk.

LithuaniaThe view was amazing, but the road up the hill pretty difficult, after 6pm you for sure need a tuk tuk (they are very expensive there). The owners very friendly people and they helped us, they drove us to train station very early in the morning.
