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.).

NetherlandsIt’s located a few kilometres from Ella, so you’ll always need transportation to get there. A tuk-tuk is easy to find, and if not, the owner will gladly help arrange one for you.
A peaceful homestay, perfect for relaxing, with an excellent breakfast.

GermanyThe location is far away from Ella (ca 3-4km) and it wasn't quite. The main road is nearby and so it was loud and there is a location with noisy beats around.
Taxi and Tuktuk were organzied for us and the service was good

United KingdomComfortable, clean and quiet room (with Netflix!), great view, and a short tuk tuk hop into the centre of town. It’s run by a lovely couple who are incredibly helpful and kind. They made me a little takeaway breakfast parcel on my last day (when I had to leave very early).

United KingdomThe mosquito net wasn’t very effective, it’s ruffled around the top and there are gaps - I get bitten horrendously so so and to make sure I slept covered in insect lotion.
The hosts were so helpful, and provided the most amazing breakfast every day - I felt bad because it was too much to eat! I really can’t explain enough how kind and helpful they were. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the balcony beautiful. Hot water was available and lovely cotton sheets.

Yohan and his parents were so warm and hospitable throughout our entire stay. From the lovely home-cooked local breakfasts to helping us with transport arrangements, they made sure we were comfortable and that we felt at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Ella!

United StatesA bit hard to access by tuk tuk due to the steep driveway, but not anything to complain about!
The view from the balcony was tranquil and beautiful. The garden was a lovely addition to the view as well as the birds and squirrels. The house was clean and well-kept. The room was spacious and inviting.

NetherlandsDON’T GO HERE AS A FEMALE SOLO TRAVELLER. The owners seemed really nice but the second day right after I had paid, the owner grabbed me and pushed his face in my neck. After that he asked to come into my bedroom. I immediately left and honestly it is the worst experience I’ve had in Sri Lanka. As a female solo traveler you always have to be on your guard and if someone takes advantage of your situation it really feels horrible. I feel sorry for the wife, she seemed very sweet.

United KingdomThe steep drive to the house. First gear in the tuktuk!
The homestay is set about 3km from Ella which suited us being away from the noise of Ella town centre. Nice big room with all facilities and an enormous breakfast each day. Our hosts were very helpful with info about the surroundings and arranged transport into the town for our evening meals. If you want a peaceful location, but with easy access to the town then this is the place.

FinlandThe location is slightly off the city center, but that’s easily fixed with a 600 rupee tuktuk ride. Pillows were super high, but we got used to them the first night.
Everything was more than in order: super comfortable bed, fluffy towel, super clean warm shower and nice view from the comfortable balcony. Hotel level experience for a guest house price, will definitely come back again.

PortugalYohan and his family were the most kind and thoughtful since the minute I’ve made the reservation. From that minute until I checked out, everything I’ve requested was dealt immediately, and with extreme kindness and care. About the hotel, it’s the perfect spot to be in Ella. Away from the noise of Ella town, but still very close to every major point, you can enjoy the beauty and silence of the mountain. If you like hiking, places like Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak or Ella Rock are somewhere between 1 to 2 hours walking. Very reasonable. If not, you just take a tuk tuk for around 2/3 dollars. Accommodation was super clean and very comfortable, with delicious breakfast being served with a very generous portion. Apparently, I was the first guest, but I hope just the first of many. They deserve it!
