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.).

ItalyReally great view on the Ella mountains. The position is quite good, if you take the right path you can get in the center in 15 Min. Ask the host the right path to the centre. Also breakfast is nice on the terrace with the view. The host is really nice and helpful

Very nice little hotel close to Ella. Stunning view, very good breakfast (something different every day!). Clean and even has hot water. They have very cute and fluffy white dog who likes to be cuddled. The owners are super friendly. Fresh jackfruits, avocados and pepper trees in the garden. Highly recommended.

GermanyWe loved the view. The room was clean and comfortable. The owners are super lovely and friendly. The location is just perfect. Ella is touristy but it felt quiet and local here with more local restaurants closeby. We enjoyed the breakfast here too. 100% recommended and we would always come here again when back in Ella. If you come by train, walk the tracks to the accommodation (only 10 minutes walking). The train is really slow and you can hear it coming long before it's there. So no worries. Also the owner drew us a map for our hike up to Ella rock. We appreciated him a lot.

GermanyOf course the view in front of the homestay is now limited downwards because of the new building, however for me the great bead and reliable hot water and view was a good price-quality mix, also with the limited view. And the host family plus dog was so nice ! 🙏🏻 It would be nice to have breakfast upstairs on the own balcony so you can enjoy the view. Downstairs the view is really limited.
The bed was so comfortable and also great bedding. You could look into the mountains while lying in the bed, a great look when waking up in the morning! Water was hot 🔥, view was very nice. It was also really clean. I also loved their little dog Leo, he was a gift - I love dogs and he sweetened the stay !! Also, I came with my car and had a secure parking spot, I had some short term trouble with my battery cause i forgot to turn out the headlights (stupid mistake), and the host and also neighbor (relative) gave everything in their power to help me over several hours and I appreciated that so much !! Everything turned out fine, but I just felt so much gratitude that they were supporting me with such an issue , I did not feel alone 🙏🏻

Heavens Seven was a perfect place for us to stay during our three days in Ella. A 10 minutes walk from the main town along the train tracks, it was quiet, peaceful and easy to find thanks to Ananda's instructions. The location was also great for our hike to Ella Rock, early one morning. Ananda and his family were fantastic with helping us book taxis, plan hikes and where to eat in the local area. Breakfast was generous and delicious and we were touched when Ananda came to see us off in town on our final day.

United StatesThe room was not big, but it was comfortable to stay alone. It was a guesthouse with facilities that were appropriate, and you shouldn't expect more than that. It is about a 15-minute walk to the town center and about a 10-minute walk to Ella Station. The owner is also good at arranging taxis and providing information on tourist attractions.

Really nice accomodation with stunning view over Ella (Ella Rock, waterfall and train). The place is being runned by a really nice family who make you feel like home really quickly. Every morning they make breakfast for you on their own terrace in front of their house. They even were so nice to do our laundry. The main street of Ella with all the shops and restaurant is on a 5-10 minute walk over the train track (which is a really cool experience) and everbody does as its fastes way to commute

United KingdomWhilst not a problem for us, there are are number of fairly steep steps from the road up to the property which could be a problem for people with mobility issues.
The property gave Mountain View’s from our room, had a balcony to enjoy the spectacular scenery, was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was enjoyable and the host extremely helpful with information. He arranged a great trip for us by tuc tuc to 9 arches bridge ( good timing for train arrival) followed by Halpe tea plantation and factory. Whilst high up from the town the walk in along the railway track is only about 10 minutes and easy going. We either walked back or got a tuc tuc. There was also the cutest dog we saw in Sri Lanka - a white Pomeranian.

HungaryI loved the serenity of the area and the room! The property is just next to a temple, it was great to visit it and encounter the monks. The view down the road just in front of the property is a million dollar view. You can also see the great view of Ella and the waterfall from the balcony. The room was great, clean, light and very peaceful. I loved the breakfast that the owners prepared and the welcome drink with bananas. The dog was very cute, and the owners too ❤️

United StatesHeavens Seven was such a beautiful and calming stay. The host & his wife are lovely, welcoming and helpful people who did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We had a very early train and they still were able to provide us with a lovely breakfast, they have even gone over and above to send an item we left behind to Colombo for us, so we can collect it when we get back. We had some lovely conversations with the hosts as well. The view from the room is absolutely breathtaking & the home stay is just a short (beautiful) walk along the trainline to town (about 10 mins). Breakfast was amazing & the hosts were so helpful around directions and booking us transport when needed. This was one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka, we will remember this stay for a very long time.

Great little homestay. The owner was very friendly and supported us with our planning. The view from the room and the balcony is just amazing. And even if we're not dog people, you just have to love the owner's cute dog Leo who greets you every time you come back. We would also recommend the restaurant which was recommended by the owner. It’s just a little walk to get great selfmade Sri Lankan food for a very fair price.
