How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA real haven of peace, with beautiful architecture and stylish decoration. The room was stunning, breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect to explore Ella while enjoying tranquility.
Nothing at all, everything was perfect.

Verified reviewThe hotel is small and very new. Our room was very spacious, well appointed and modern. The bed was very confortable and there was aircon. The room had also floor to ceiling glass doors opening to a balcony with views of the forest. The location is very convenient too, as the hotel is only a 3-5 minute tuk tuk ride from the center of Ella. Overall, a very good standard. What stood out for us as well was the above and beyond kindness of Saman, the hotel owner, who helped us with some logistics issues for our trip. A big thanks to him. We will certainly stay at Namara Green again if we go back to Ella at some point.

Verified reviewClean, modern and comfortable with a lovely outlook into the trees. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.
The ventilation could be improved as there were lots of bugs and the room smelled a little musty. There were also power cuts and construction, so one night we slept without AC or power. The property is out of town, so you’ll need to get tuktuks.
Thank you very much for your kind words about our clean and comfortable rooms, the lovely outlook into the trees, and our friendly front desk team. 🌿 We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and service. We’re sorry about the temporary inconvenience during your stay. The power cut you experienced was due to a short local outage beyond our control, and construction was only for a brief period during improvements to the property. As we are surrounded by nature, some insects can occasionally come in when the balcony doors are left open. We do regular pest control and provide repellents to keep rooms fresh and comfortable. We truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us keep improving. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!

Slightly out of the main stretch of ella, the tuk tuk that was booked through the hotel ripped us off big time.

Verified reviewThe rooms were clean and modern
All of the marketing material shows beautiful views but you need to specifically request that. Our room was on the lower floor and looked onto some random plants. There are no common areas within the hotel which look out so no other way to see the view. It is a fair way out of town. The water pressure was lacking. We did not experience the friendly service everyone else describes and our interactions were functional at best. No bar fridge or safe in room and hair dryer/iron board in communal area.

Verified reviewIt was the perfect 2 night stay if you’re visiting Ella. It is close enough to the Main Street but far enough to allow for relaxation and peace. The staff were amazing and the room was modern, spacious and spotless. Breakfast was also great.
The water pressure in the shower could have been stronger but that is my only complaint, everything else was perfect

Verified reviewIt was such a cute place! Very clean, modern and the staff was adorable and super helpful. The hotel works with a tuktuk driver who can drive you to the center, or wherever you want, for a decent fee. Beautiful view and peaceful location.
It was great, nothing to complain about 👍

Verified reviewNice modern room with green scenery on the garden and quiet location a bit outside of the city
The hotel is right by the road which is a bit of a shame. Check out is quite early at 10:30am latest. Breakfast is quite basic and western style.

Verified reviewModern boutique hotel located near Ella. The staff was really friendly. The beds were good and breakfast was tasteful.
Due to the jungle environment the air is very humid. It is difficult to ventilate the rooms which leads to some mold here and there and towels or wet clothes that don't dry well. This is the case for all the hotels in the area. The rooms are however clean and new towels were provided daily which was nice.

Verified reviewVery nice and comfortable room. Lots of space. Big bathroom and hot shower.
Small and basic breakfast. Could be a bit more complete. 10 min Tuktuk ride to Ella center which adds up. You can walk but a bit risky at night with the cars.

Verified reviewWe loved the convenient location of this hotel, nestled just minutes from the center of Ella and a quick 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. The staff were friendly and welcoming, with good English skills that made communication easy. Our room was impressively spacious and spotlessly clean, offering a comfortable retreat after exploring. The bathroom was nice with a pleasant shower, though the water pressure could have been a bit stronger.
Not sure whether we liked or disliked this, but it was strangely surprising that the hotel sold (vintage) high-end clothes. It was fun to look at it, but didn’t really fit the hotel vibe.

Verified reviewBeautiful property, lovely staff and caring owner. We saw a mongoose and incredible bird life.
Breakfast while served by wonderful staff wasn't great. They do not offer dinner, but after a long journey, it would be good to have that option. White Rabbit is an excellent option down the road.
