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.).

United KingdomGetting to the property if you have lots of luggage is not easy. Our driver could not get down the access road but we found it a relatively short walk and only had one case plus our day sacks. There was no kettle facility but tea and coffee are provided at breakfast.
The view from the property is exceptional. We had a warm welcome and the owner wanted us to have an enjoyable stay. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. We loved the property and location being so near to the railway line for quick access to town and the various sites of interest.

GreeceNo shoap, the location is a bit difficult to find, as others say the next day we found a shortcut over the railway. You walk on the rails and in under 10 minutes you can reach the city centre. Avoid if you have too many luggage.

A fantastic stay in Ella - thank you so much! Neon Sky Nest is set in a beautiful location overlooking magnificent views - we loved relaxing on our balcony and looking out across the mountains. Great location (5-10 minute walk to town along the railway tracks) and very easy to access hikes to Ella Rock, Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. Our host family were so welcoming and provided a delicious and huge Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. The room itself was great, very spacious and clean with hot and cold water for showers depending on outside temperatures. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, fantastic value for money too!

ItalyThe road to reach the property isn’t the best—it’s a bit tricky by car. We ended up parking a little further down and walking the last few minutes on foot. While the access isn’t the most convenient, the stunning view and the incredible location more than make up for it.
Neon Sky Nest was by far the best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka. The room was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and had all the comforts we needed. The bathroom was also large and very clean. We especially loved the generous breakfast served on the terrace right in front of our room—it was a perfect start to the day. At night, the area was peaceful and quiet, with only the sound of a waterfall coming from the mountain in front of us. A truly spectacular experience in an unforgettable setting. We only wish we could have stayed much longer—it was hard to leave such a beautiful place!

BelgiumIf other guests in the other room are loud, you can hear it. Dogs barking, but that’s everywhere in sri lanka. Location is great for the views! If you come by car you might have to stop on the main road and walk down and up. On foot, there’s a convenient set of steps that takes you to the rails and you can walk along them into the village
Simple and clean room with stunning views of the mountains and waterfall, nestled up a hill overlooking the village, close to the railway. The hosts are an old couple, you will be contacted by someone who speaks english on whatsapp and you can always message them with anything you need (we only needed wifi password). Very flexible with check-in times. Nice breakfast is included!

AustraliaI had such an amazing sleep in Neon Sky Nest. In the morning, you'd only get gently woken up by the sound of the waterfall and the birds. You'd then be served the generous and delicious breakfast served by the lovely host on your terrace in front of the view... And I mean what a view!!! If you use the train tracks as the locals do, everything is really close by - from town, from Ella Rock or from great restaurants.

AustraliaAs others have noted you need a 4WD car or off road motorcycle to get up the driveway so better if you are taking public transit and taxis.
It's 10x better than it looks in the pictures. Amazing view out over the waterfall. You can hear the waterfall. Bed is also really comfortable. This is one of the nicest places I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The old couple who run it are really cute and the breakfast is a multi course feast! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was not far to walk to the train station, centre of town and there is a yoga place nearby also.
