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.).

FranceWe did not have enough time in this place ;)
The view on the mountains (Ella's rock) and the valley + the calm... Wahou! The wildness which surrounds us: squirrels everywhere, birds flying around, trees, ... The location - 5 to 10 mn to get to the main street - without the disturbance of the people partying. And, finally and most importantly, the kindness of the manager which took the time to show us the various trees and fruits around + he booked a taxi for us

We really enjoyed our stay there. The room was very beautiful, spacious and clean with an amazing view of Ella Rock. The bathroom was a bit old and small but it didn't bother us. The hosts were very kind, helped us with everything and especially with planning trips in the Ella area. Highly recommended!

United KingdomJust a few bits of constructive feedback... 1. The shower curtain must be replaced in the bathroom. It was dirty and mouldy. 2. The mosquito nets need replacing. They had holes - we were bitten in the night. 3. I think the drains need to be cleaned as there was a funny smell coming up from the shower.
Wow - This was situated in stunning scenery. It was incredible!! We woke to monkey on the trees outside our room and the balcony was lush to sit on in the evenings to hear all the wildlife. Its situated close to little adams peak and 9 arch bridge. Its also a 5 min walk to the centre of Ella. Breakfast was nice and everyone was very friendly. There was a kettle with tea and coffee.

United KingdomThere is literally nothing we didn’t like. Didn’t have AC but that’s completely fine as Ella is a bit cooler
The view was the best we could ever have dreamed of. Literally better than little Adam’s peak. Amazing for the price and really nice host, accommodating to requests!! The rooms were absolutely gorgeous. Loved sitting on the egg chair and observing local mystery mammals and kingfishers flying around. Birdwatchers dream. They had a golden retreaver puppy which was the best thing ever. Would recommend waking up for sunrise and seeing it directly from your room, then sleeping again after!! Really good location, can walk to the main road easily and on the way to little Adam’s peak and nine arches! Breakfast not included but this is not an issue as there are so many options in town! Place ended up being cheaper than expected and insane value for the price!!

LebanonNot a complaint but possible visitors should know this hotel is in the tourist/hotel area of Ella. That means narrow roads with a lot of holes. Tuktuks, which everyone uses, can get there normally and it's a quick walk to the city. If you're coming by car, it's annoying. It's doable,thought - we went by van. Also, I think hot water is solar so gets low at night. Pressure isn't the best, but we managed.
Loved the place so much we went back. It's a very relaxing location. The rooms have privacy and amazing views.. Owners have the cutest dog (Benji). Breakfast is good enough, eggs and jams and stuff.

GreeceThe rooms are in desperate need of a dehumidifier. Or two. The smell of mildew is intense and everything feels dump. Of course we heard that everywhere in Ella is like that, but I strongly believe that a dehumidifier will help significantly. Also, keep in mind that there are leeches in the grass.
The view is awesome and the location is very convenient. Basically you can go everywhere on foot, since it is located right in the center of Ella.

Beautiful cottages with the most amazing views. Very helpful staff. A short walk (although steep hill) to town. We had an issue with noise one night from a neighbouring property (mixing cement at 10pm!!) and the owner called the owner of that property to make it stop. We were also offered to move to a different room, but didn't need to as the call from this owner stopped it.
