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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

In 9ne word: fantastic!! Danu and his wife and mother really looked after us and made our stay unforgettable. We received welcome drinks, ate hearty breakfasts and were brought and collected everywhere. The view from the balcony is amazing. It's a good idea to stay in a place that is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle in downtown Ella. Top marks!

IndiaThe view from the room was extraordinary. The host (Danushka) is friendly and took very good of our needs. The breakfast was very filling and super yummy. They always asked us the night before when we wanted our breakfast the next day and, to our surprise, it was delivered to our room exactly on time. Danushka gave us tips on navigation in that area and recommendations on places to visit and eat. He even helped us by keeping some of our stuff in their refrigerator for a night. He has his own tuk-tuk and dropped us to the train station on the final day. WiFi worked well for us. Overall it was value for money. Thank you for making our stay at Ella so memorable. ❤️

GermanyOne of our best stays in Sri Lanka! We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved it. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They served tea and little treats in between, and the breakfast was one of the best we had on our trip. Everything was very clean, and the view was breathtaking. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time at Rock Paradise and the view from the balcony was amazing! Danu and his family were kind and helpful, they were able to provide a scooter rental at a good price, lifts to the station and information on the area. The breakfast was tasty and the pots of tea after a long day exploring were always a treat! We would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a place to stay in Ella that avoids the crowds but still delivers on location.

United KingdomWe loved it, it was a lovely homestay and basic amenities if that’s what you are looking for.
Amazing area, we liked being out of the backpacker town. Had more local places near us. Only a short walk down and a quick tuk tuk back up. Amazing host by Danu and his mum, we felt very looked after. Room is basic as you’d expect for price but with a fan, mosquito net, hot water and an amazing view, it’s everything we were expecting and more.

Everything! Best stay we had in Sri Lanka. The room was very clean and large. We had a balcony with an amazing view to Ella Rock and Little Adam's peak. Danu was a wonderful host. He received us with fresh juice and gave us another one the next day. He made sure we had tuk tuk to go to the city center and to Little Adam's peak. He made sure our stay was great. The room was perfect, power outlets everywhere, comfortable bed and pillows. 10/10

CanadaThe only reason I didn’t rate 10/10 is that the bathroom could use a bit of attention for odour.
The view from this place is spectacular, you can watch the sun rise between Little Adam’s Peak and Ella Rock. The host couldn’t be any nicer, always offering fresh juice or tea and helping with anything you need.

GermanyIt is a lovely accommodation for a few days in Ella with a breathtaking view over Ella and the surrounding mountains! Our host Danu was super nice, accommodating and helpful. He even drove us to waterfalls with his TukTuk and did a little tour with us. With all questions he helped us, also picked out the right bus for our onward journey and prepared a super delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, which we could eat on our balcony. The room has everything you need, a mosquito net and also hot water.

Property is in the hills so walk down to the town is easy about 15min.. on the way back you get 500lkr tuk tuk to take you back so not a problem at all. We were very happy with our stay!
