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.).

PolandThe facility is outside the city, but you can easily order a taxi or catch a tuk-tuk.
Definitely one of the best places to stay during our stay in Sri Lanka. Modern interior, spacious, and excellent service from the property manager. Delicious breakfast and a beautiful view from the terrace. Luggage storage available before departure. On behalf of my son, I'd like to thank the owner for the book...

I can say it 1000 times that i cannot find a better host than Mr. Priyantha. He was always there for us giving all his best services. The property is little far but well maintained and mordern. It has game area and a good centralized sound system that works with your bluetooth. Lobby view is spectacular. Breakfast was amazing as compare to all our other stays. Tuk tuk is easily arranged by the host and was very economical getting the two way travel from the Ella market.

GermanyThe breakfast could be better.
The host at the Bellaxy Ceylon was incredible, polite and did everything what he could. The rooms are clean, new and had a great view into the jungle. A lot space for entertainment in the villa and possibilities to relax during and after the day. It's a little bit out of Ella Town, which has his unique experience.

PolandI visited a few Asian countries but have never met such friendly and kind hosts as in Bellaxy Ceylon. The owner is an absolutely amazing man; he will help you with everything he can. He prepared the best breakfast I can imagine, better than in a restaurant! Moreover, the price for the large room is very good, and everything is excellent. The villa has a beautiful view, spacious rooms, and is very clean. There is a common chill-out area with many amenities. You will not be bored! I highly recommend this host to everyone. Believe me, you will not regret your choice. If you need tuk tuk or laundry service just talk to owner and he will arrange it all good cost.

NetherlandsThe place is a bit far away from the center, you really need a Tuktuk (500 to go to the center, a bit more to come back). But at least you’re away from the center madness. No wifi in the bedroom. A proper blanket (and not just a sheet) could be a nice addition.
Beautiful property, with magnificent views over the nature. Our room was super comfortable. One of the best showers we had in Sri Lanka. Very nice common area. Massive breakfast. It was also nice to be able to fill up our water bottles there. Finally, the manager who took care of us was the loveliest man ever, taking such good care of us, even if communication in English was not the easiest sometimes.

SwedenThe hotel is slightly outside of Ella but if you have a scooter/Tuktuk you’ll be absolutely fine. It only takes 5 min to get to the Main Street. The staff was also super helpful to arrange Tuktuk for us until we had our own.
We really enjoyed our stay at Bellaxy Ceylon. The rooms were nice and clean, the staff were super friendly and the common/social area was good with board games and other activities. Highly recommend to stay here if you want to have a good place close to Ella.

United KingdomWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bellaxy Ceylon Ella! From the moment we arrived, Mr. Priyantha, the caretaker, went above and beyond to ensure that my family and our toddler were completely comfortable. His warm hospitality and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable and enjoyable. The property itself is beautiful, offering a peaceful and serene environment, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Mr. Priyantha was always available to assist us with anything we needed, and his kindness made us feel at home. Thanks to his exceptional service, we had a stress-free and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Bellaxy Ceylon to anyone visiting Ella, and we are already looking forward to our next stay. Can’t recommend it enough!

The gentleman running Bellaxy was absolutely lovely and went out of his way to help us with whatever we needed. A huge spread was laid out for breakfast. The room was night and spacious, with high ceilings and a nice big open shower room.

With a kitchen you can use and 2 common spaces to relaxe it feels like home ! In one stage you have a big area with games and another big TV where you can watch netflix. It was amazing for kids! It was good to be out of noisy Ella and it s 5 minutes in tuk tuk (we rented one) so perfect quiet and beautiful area with amazing wildlife! Also they have this big list of places to go around and thanks to that we discovered quiet place with no many tourists!
