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 reviewBeautiful view and very well kept property. Thuwan was amazing and took very good care of me. Has a good knowledge of the area and guides very well
Quite a climb from the city. Just 200m though, so still much better than a lot of places in Ella

Verified reviewThe staff were so kind and helpful with arranging tuktuk and luggage. We loved waking up to the views- absolutely amazing. Very clean, even though that it is amongst the trees but absolutely spotless. They provided tea and water too.
Getting to the actual room was slightly tricky with heavy luggage, BUT we had help from Thusian who kindly took the suitcases down for us. Therefore did not end up being a problem for us. The view from the room made it all worth it.

Verified reviewThe room was clean. The view was breathtaking. The staff was helpful and friendly.
The shared kitchen was kind of a makeshift set up. The sink was not clean, and the sponges there to wash dishes were old and used to death... I can only imagine the amount of germs on that.
thank so much for your feedback, we will fix the issues related to kitchen items quickly.

Verified reviewIncredible views from the balcony, making the room a lovely place to relax. Rooms were very spacious and clean with a big bathroom. The staff were very helpful and had lots of tips and advice re local attractions and transport. Brilliant place to stay in Ella on a budget. Lots of steps down to the room and on a very steep hill but perfectly fine if you are fit. Fridge in the room is a bonus.
No complaints really. The shower didn't have much hot water but this is common for Sri Lanka.

Verified reviewExcellent location.. Very clean and comfortable with a great bathroom. The views are spectacular and our host was very helpful and assisted with our early wake up to get to the train station. In walking distance to the main street but away from the noise and busy tourist area. Great choice!

Verified reviewThe view was absolutely surreal—lush green valleys stretched out below, and a cascading waterfall tumbled down the cliffs in the distance. Waking up to the sound of rushing water and birdsong felt like a dream. That said, reaching the stay wasn’t the easiest. There are quite a few steep steps involved to reach the stay and also need to go through some under construction building, so it might not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Also, while the room was comfortable, a little upgrade to the interiors could really elevate the overall feel of the space. Still, the stunning views and serene atmosphere more than made up for it. If you’re looking for a place where nature wraps around you and time seems to slow down, this is it.
