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.

Czech RepublicThere is a terrace with a beautiful view of the waterfall and Ella Rock. The location is good, it’s about a 15-minute walk to Ella town, but the way there is quite steep. However, it’s worth it. Family made us breakfast which was very tasty, we had a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast and it was a little different each day.

This was an absolutely perfect stay. The accommodation is not in the busy, noisy part of town, but its location is ideal, offering a beautiful walk with stunning views. The terrace was simply spectacular. The host family was wonderful—very welcoming and always ready to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, and we even requested an extra lunch, which they prepared for us—a homemade meal that was both delicious and very generous in portion. Everything about our stay was perfect. Highly recommended!

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had at "Elegance View" in Ella! We felt truly welcomed and cared for by the kindest family. The hospitality was incredible—especially the warmth of the host and her lovely mother-in-law. Every morning, they prepared a delicious homemade meal that was simply unforgettable. We’re already missing it!

United KingdomWe loved everything about it
It was our first time at a Homestay and we felt very lucky to be staying with such a lovely family. They were very welcoming from the minute we got there until we left. They went above and beyond with everything and the breakfast was amazing! It was different everyday with lots of different Sri Lankan dishes to try and loads of food! The balcony is massive and the view we had was incredible. We felt very relaxed staying here. They also have 2 very cute children!

Czech RepublicThe homestay is run by a lovely family that always made sure we had all we needed. The view from the room is amazing, homecooked local food for breakfast (each day something new) was delicious and the location was great (only 10-15 minutes from Ella city). We had a wonderful time!

RomaniaI received a warm and friendly welcome, enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared with care, and made me feel at home. I highly recommend this place. The view of Ella Rock is fantastic, but it’s only complete with this particular family. Location can be reached with a car or tuk-tuk but from Ella City you can arrive to the property in less than 10 min following the train railway. You can enjoy the view and also check the Budhist temple which is nearby. Separate entrance and If requested laundry available at very reasonable price. Fridge and wifi available.

Very clean, modern & comfortable room with an incredible view. The best bed in Sri Lanka so far! It’s a 10min walk out of town but it’s great to be away from the noise & amongst the wildlife. The family was very welcoming & we extended our stay from two nights to six because we loved it so much. Highly recommend!
