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.).

IsraelThe room is a bit small for 5. 24 hr hot water but weak water flow. Pillows can be better. Some parts of the guest house are still under construction so it does not look perfect yet.
The owners are kind and caring with great English. Home made breakfast, different every day. The location is great, quiet and close to Ella town, 15 minutes walk on the train's path also there is a beautiful temple nearby.

DenmarkWe loved it all.
We had the nicest stay at Sandya’ place. She is so nice and welcoming. The room is really clean and comfortable, but the best is the balcony with beautiful views of Ella Rock and a waterfall. Breakfast is served at the balcony and is very delicious. There’s easy access to the town center by steps through tea fields. Be sure to talk to Sandya, she is very friendly and helpful. We and our teenage girls miss her already and will for sure stay with her and her kind husband again, when we return to Ella.

Super sweet and friendly host. We really enjoyed our private breakfast on the terrace.. we couldn’t get tired of the amazing view! You can even spot a waterfall. Accommodation is located 10 minutes walk from downtown Ella (shortcut) and just on the way to hike Ella Rock. Room is comfy and clean. Definitely worth it!

A pleasant accommodation slightly elevated above the town of Ella, away from the hustle and bustle, with a terrace facing palm trees, mountains, and a waterfall. Beautiful views amidst nature. Instead of the noise of cars, you hear the chirping of birds. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is always served at the agreed-upon time, with a different menu every day. Additionally, they provided us with a kettle and utensils for preparing children's meals. Highly recommended for nature lovers.
