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.).

AustraliaThe water floods the bathroom when you shower. No handtowels, and the bath mats weren’t very absorbent.
The view is incredible! And they serve a great breakfast every morning, so you get to look at the mountains whilst you have your morning coffee. The room was spacious enough and had air conditioning. It’s a walk up a hill to get to the accomm from town - no issue for us, but if you have mobility issues be mindful. Can always get a tuk tuk though.

United KingdomThe room had a kettle and cups, but no spoons, tea, coffee etc. Be aware that the only way to get to the property is either on foot or via tuk tuk, the hill leading to the property is too steep for guides vans.
The views from this property were just breathtaking! It's exactly as it looks in the photo. The location of the property is also very close to Ella town centre as well. The family provided us with a lovely breakfast on the balcony. Rooms were basic but they did for what we needed. Beds were comfortable.

LatviaThe only downside was the price — €30 per night felt a bit expensive for Sri Lanka, though it’s understandable given that Ella is a popular tourist destination. Also, the iron provided didn’t really do the job.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is great, and the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. They gave us the option to store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out, which was very convenient. Since we arrived early, they let us leave our bags while they finished preparing the room, and when we were leaving, they even offered a free ride to the town center. We also asked to iron some clothes — although the iron didn’t work very well, the staff kindly offered to help by ironing the items themselves. The room was clean, in great condition, and had a large fan that worked quite well — even though there was no air conditioning, the temperature was comfortable.

BangladeshThe room was clean. View from the room was great! They provide breakfast on the table infront of your room from where you can enjoy the view. Loved everything. At first there was no drinking water inside the room and I had to ask for that. Have not asked about the toiletries, so dont know if they have forgotten it or they don't provide anything.

GermanyThe room we stayed in at the back was a bit dated, but it wasn’t a problem at all for just one night. The rooms in the front seemed to be better. The hotel actually offered to change our room, but we had to leave early the next morning.
Warm and welcoming family-run hotel A very friendly family business with a genuine smile. At this price, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Spacious room, with comfortable beds. There is a wonderful view from the terrace, and breakfast served with such a view tastes even better. The owners were nice and helpful. Good location, close to shops and restaurants, but you have to walk up a steeply sloped hill
