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.).

United KingdomThe rooms were all individually locked, which was challenging with children as 2 were sleeping on their own. The rooms were a little tired, and the biggest room had an odour of mould. Hot water didn’t work in one of the bathrooms. There was an outdoor living area, but this was also the walk through for the family to get to the kitchen. With breakfast the cost was £78 per night for 5 people, which was slightly more than we have paid for a higher standard of accommodation elsewhere, but Ella is an expensive city for tourists.
Ideal location for Ella, walking distance to the main stretch of restaurants. Dilrukshi was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing extra sheets. She prepared a lovely breakfast each morning.

United KingdomNothing really. The rooms don't have aircon but we knew that before we booked and the area is cool and breezy.. Also the entrance to the property is up some steep metal steps but this wasn't a problem for us and we were helped with our bags.
Lovely quiet setting only a 10 minute walk from Ella. Host was amazing and really looked after us. She also runs a fab cooking course. Nice veranda with chairs outside the room to soak up the peace and quiet.

United KingdomThe only improvement would be to have two toilet rolls in the room.
I loved how welcome we felt from the moment we got off our tuk tuk. This was a last minute book and definitely one of my favourite places that we stayed. Dilrukshi was a fabulous host and took amazing care of us. The Ella green stay is in a great location. Not too far from the shops and restaurants but far enough to feel relaxed and peaceful when you arrive back.

New ZealandLots of steps to climb up to the place, with our bags. Also, there is a shorter route up but it's not sign posted from down below. Room a little cramped for 4 people.
Dilrukshi was very friendly and helpful - tea on arrival, did an early breakfast for us with our train to catch. Place was beautifully clean and wi-fi was fast. Breakfast was very tasty. Location good, short stroll to center of Ella. Couches out on the balcony were lovely.

United KingdomThe ladies at this place really do look after their customers. Extremely helpful and obliging. They are trying their best to run an honest business. Many of them turned up at the car park to help with our luggage. There was nothing to dislike about this place. But be aware one needs to negotiate several steps to get to the property.

Dilrukshi was a fabulous host. She answered any question with a smile and was more than happy to help with anything. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. The location was great for us, a 5-10min walk from town which felt close but was far enough away from the loud noise of the town.

United KingdomThe hotel is set back from the main area of Ella, accessible by foot or tuktuk and only a short 300m walk away from the railway station. The hotel was clean, comfortable and provided a good breakfast, the staff were friendly and the gardens were lovely and well cared for, there are steps up to the property but assistance with luggage is on hand if required. Mosquito nets were available above all beds.

GermanyOur stay at Ella Green Stay was an absolute delight. Nestled nearby breathtaking greenery, it felt like our own secluded treehouse. The location, though peaceful and private, was still within easy reach of the town center. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast prepared by our warm and welcoming host. Her kindness and generosity truly made our stay unforgettable. Ella Green Stay is more than just accommodation, it's an experience enriched by waking up to the sounds of nature and the warmth of genuine hospitality

AustraliaA little off the path from central, Ella sits this gorgeous family owned accommodation. Dill met us at the steps of the property and carried my husband's case to our spacious , comfortable rooms. We travelled with our young adult sons, and they were in the next room to us enjoying a king bed each. The property is landscaped to create a peaceful environment, and there are plenty of comfortable couches available to sit and soak in the ambience. Dill's breakfasts are delicious, and her knowledge of Ella and surrounds has been extremely helpful to us. We will be sad to leave .
