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.).

SloveniaThe location was a bit from the main road. If you are coming by tuk tuk,there is no problem-he will take you almost to the accomodation. But if youbare traveling by car I would advise you not to go there by car and also be aware, the GPS doesn't take you to the right place. I would reccomend that you leave the car by the main road and walk up (the first day we rented a tuk tuk because of our luggage). We used to park by the main road near Glorious nature inn (GPS finds it easily). There is a rather big paved part near the road where there was always rook to park. From there locate the stairs on the opposite site of the road leading up. They are a bit steap,but you can see monkeys climbing on trees right next to it. When you reach the top of the stairs turn right and walk on, then turn left at Golden view guest Ella (on your right) and keep walking for a bit. The final part is on a paved road. The whole walk takes about 10minites and it is DEFINATELY WORTH IT. Plus it is not hard- we were traveling with our 5year ols girls and they never complained- they were too excited about the nature and monkeys🙂. So if you want a nice view, a great owner and an amazing breakfast that will keep you full most of the day,then choose Mountain peak Ella🙂
The owner is AMAZING🙂He is extremely friendly, makes an amazing breakkfast every morning and generaly helps every chance he gets. The rooms are spatious and comfortable and the terrace offers very nice views. You are away from city rumble and feel like you are in the middle of nature. The shower has hot water (just wait a bit,it will come)🙂

AustraliaUnfortunately being at the top of the mountain peak it was difficult to get to, as cars cannot make it up the steep winding road. Lasantha organized 2 tuk tuks upon arrival to get us to the accom from the road, but there was still a little uphill walk involved at the end. After a day out we were unable to get a tuk tuk willing to take us up the hill and had to walk. The walk is not for the unfit or faint hearted but the views and peace are worth it.
Lasantha our host was very welcoming and his breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The room was spotless and the bathroom was the best on our Sri Lankan trip so far. The view was spectacular and it was nice to be away from the busy town of Ella.

United KingdomI had a brilliant stay here. The room is big, clean, comfortable and very good value. Hot shower, clean sheets, towels and a fan- and really quiet away from city noise. Lasantha is a brilliant host. He served breakfast on the terrace and helped me with laundry, and made me lunch one day. He brought me a kettle so I could make tea. It is right at the top of the maintain with amazing views. I’d recommend getting a scooter to get to and from it and see the best of Ella in the day time… otherwise could be reached by tuk tuk or keen climbers.

PolandMind you it's is on a very high mountain, this gives nice views but you will need to take a tuk tuk from Ella town 15minutes for around 4USD one way or walk maybe 30minutes minimum! We always took tuk tuk. Rooms are a bit humid so I had to sleep with open windows. Also expect some insects such as ants, or moths - thankfully no mosquitoes at all when we were there !!! As said above for this price its a good deal but don't expect western standard. Overall it was good stay for 3 nights. We enjoyed it.
For this price point it is an excellent place, the host is very kind and prepared delicious breakfasts for us and we even had 1 dinner there! The tea they serve was just delicious! We couldn't find better around SL, it is the way they make it...properly prepared.
