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.).

CyprusFor the price it was exceptional, no issues at all !
The room was spacious and comfortable. The balcony area- which was very spacious with a huge rocking chair, table and chairs - led onto a beautiful view- we even saw monkeys playing in the nearby trees! The shower was hot and all the linen was very clean. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious- local home made dishes, as well as loads of fruit and toast. Great place to stay!

RomaniaJust advice, not complains.. Even though there is WiFi available, there was zero signal in the rooms, maybe they need to check that. A repaint of the room is really required, because it is a bit moldy and there is a hint of mold smell.
The owner is extremly friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were ok and the view from the balcony was amazing. Breakfast served at the property very good.

Location was close 300LKR from town yet up in the hills overlooking Ella Rock. Food was excellent, ate here every night. Run by a young family with excellent customer service skills. Hired a scooter from guest house.

Indiathey could have advised us to take the train to Unawatuna, ( station is about 15 mins away ) but they only knew about a taxi service, which is very expensive compared to taking a train. this was mostly our mistake , certainly do your own research for travel to other places. / when we visited in July, construction was yet going on downstairs.
The care takers were exceptionally good at their service. very helpful. Excellent breakfast, with local food. A special thanks to Madhu and her husband. we also rented a bike from them.

Sri LankaMany local food outlets were there around the property, but none of them were open during our stay.
Nice and calm location with a good view. Tasty food. Friendly service. A little far from the centre, which is around 20 minutes walk, but that's worth the view on the way. Also, you can get the buses to Ella and Bandarawela from the doorstep. Can get a tuk for a reasonable price from Ella to the location. If you need, they will arrange a scooter to travel around. Grocery shops are also there nearby.

Sri LankaThe property is significantly different from what is shown in the pictures on the website. There is a persistent bad smell coming from the bathroom, and more critically, the place is extremely unhygienic. It appears that the rooms are not cleaned between bookings. We booked both chalets. In one, there was no duvet cover, while in the other, the duvet cover was unwashed and visibly dirty. One pillow had no cover, and the cover on the other pillow was torn and unclean. There is no responsible person present on-site at night. Although the owner claims to be available by phone, it took over 20 calls before he answered. He promised to come and replace the pillow and duvet cover but never showed up. We thought he would at least apologize the following day, but he acted like nothing happened. Absolutely unprofessional and disgusting!!! Additionally, the stairs lack a handrail, making them hazardous, especially for elderly guests and children. Overall, both the property and the management need serious attention and substantial improvement if they wish to continue operating in the hospitality industry.
The mountain view and the spacious balcony (privacy will be a concern unless you book both chalets as the balcony is shared). The owner is a nice gentleman to talk to though lack in professionalism.
