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.).

Australiaabsolutely perfect must stay in Ella ! Great location 8 min walk into busy town and its hidden away where it’s quieter. Great terrace overlooking a stunning view. Super close to attractions like Adams peak and nine arch bridge aswell. The lovely man running this place took such good care of us , loved a chat , brought us Sri Lankan snacks and made us such a great (huge) breakfast every morning. Hoppers and coconut roti so yum! Room feels fancy 5 star hotel , comfy bed , hot water from shower. Great price Definitely can’t recommend this place enough if you’re in Ella ❤️🙏

IrelandThe property could not have been in a better location for our stay - right beside the start of the trail to Nine Arch Bridge, and a short walk from Little Adam’s Peak too. The centre of Ella town was also less than 10 minutes walk. Upali was the kindest host, and couldn’t have been more helpful. Breakfast every morning was delicious - the best coconut roti we have had on our trip 😄 would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!!

United KingdomBeautiful views all around. The staff was super helpful and lovely to talk with. He would recommend walks in the area and make sure you were happy. I accidentally hurt myself on the premise and when I told him about it he immediately offered his help in fixing the issue and first aid (the latter wasn't necessary though!) Location is great, a lovely 5 minute walk from the centre of town while being in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was very hearty

BelgiumWhen we first entered the room, we were a bit concerned because we saw a little bit of mold that was painted over. However, it was not damp in the room and there was also no smell, so it did not bother us that much. Mainly because it was cleaned so well.
Our stay with Dilshan was very pleasant. We liked that it was a bit away from the busy street (believe me, if you like your sleep you do not want to stay in the main street). It was quiet and only a short walk away from the center. It was also close to the Nine arches bridge and little adam’s peak. The breakfast was nice and it was even too much for us to finish it all! The room and bathroom were very clean and there was a nice little terras with a very nice view. Thank you Dilshan!

United KingdomThe bed was so comfortable and the sheets felt really soft and lovely. The shower was great and was hot which was lovely as Ella is a bit cooler! Dilshan was the kindest host, always helping us and checking on us - he helped us hire a scooter for a few days and arranged a tuktuk to the station when we were leaving. His breakfast was varied each day and was great value for money. The location is also great, taking less than 10 mins to walk down the road to the main strip. And it’s really close to the path for the Nine Arch Bridge which is really handy too.

Perfect location in a quiet street - close to the bus stop, a few minutes walk from the centre, near the trailheads of 9 arch bridge and Little Adam’s Peak (perfect especially for a sunrise hike). The Fantastic caretaker makes sure the guests feel welcome and is ready to help with anything! He Also prepares delicious local breakfast with fresh fruits. The property is clean and has a lovely balkony.

Beautiful terrace with view in the front of each room. Mosquito nets in the room and nets in windows, so you can breath fresh air all the nigh and no mosquito come inside :). EXCELLENT location - near Little Adam´s Peak, near Nine arch bridge view point, far from tuk-tuk´s smell and still near the centre with all the bars.

Hungary-family room is very small: 2 double bed were squeezed into the room. We were 2 of us in the room so we could keep our backpacks on one of the bed but if both of the beds are in use literally you will have no space to put your belongings anywhere. -hotel is close to the main road so its quite noisy-> I think it is the same in any other hotel as all of them located close to the roads and traffic is heavy. -there are no glasses on the windows only wooden blinds so evenings could be cold and noises could be louder.
-very clean -good brekkie -good shower pressure and hot water -Gent who is the on site manager is very nice and always up for a chat -good location: short walk from the town and a light slope takes you up there -nice view to the valley and mountains

Breakfast very tasty and variable. Located a bit on the hill, walk about 5-10 minutes to the centre, restaurants nearby, but also nature. Perfect location.
