Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

This is a truly magical place that's exceptional value. Waking up to see the beautiful sunrise in your own little cabin is such a wonderful experience. We stayed with our 2 children (ages 5 and 7) and we all loved it. It is not in the heart of Ella which we loved as you have beautiful views and away from all the backpackers and noise of Ella. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance as well as a shop and walk to a beautiful waterfall. Transport was easily arranged. Breakfast was delicious and served on your balcony. Thank you so much to the wonderful family that took care of us.

United Arab EmiratesHost was reliable and communicated well. He was happy to pick us up in his van and transport us to the cottage. Stunning views and lovely nighttime sounds. Beds were comfy and the bathroom acceptable. Though only in Ella for one night, we enjoyed the accommodation and breakfast that was provided. Many thanks to our host and his extended family who supported with bagged handling and meals.

Sri LankaI recently stayed at Ella Bamboo Tree Cottage and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. a perfect escape into nature. The view from the cottage was stunning, and the whole atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. What made it even more special was the people who manage the place. They were incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home. Their service was top-notch and they always made sure we were comfortable. The cottage itself was super clean, cozy and very well maintained. You can really see how much care the owners have put into every little detail. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was spotless and everything we needed was there. Breakfast was a real highlight. So many delicious options to choose from. Every meal was fresh, beautifully served, and full of flavor. We looked forward to it every morning. I highly recommend Ella Bamboo Tree Cottage to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Ella. You’ll get privacy, comfort, amazing views, the best food, and the kindest service. I would definitely come back again.

Liked everything. This is a new property in the surrounding hills of Ella. For us it was perfect, so relaxing and tranquil. The hosts are a the most kind and caring family and they really look after you. It was sad for us to say goodbye to them. The property is above their house - they prepare a plentiful and tasty breakfast for you each day and for us no two days were the same. Sampling a Sri Lankan breakfast made by local people is a real treat. They bring it to your balcony each morning where you can enjoy the amazing views of the stunning surroundings. The cottage itself is spacious with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Getting to Ella is easy too - the hosts will arrange transport for you at preferential rates.
