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 reviewThe location was lovely, a bit outside the city, up in the mountains. The view was spectacular, where you could enjoy nice fresh breakfast made by the staff. Laka, our host was very nice and friendly and didn’t hesitate to drive us anywhere, he also made sure, that we got a car to our next destination. Big up Sri Lanka !
A minor thing was a few bugs in the bathroom, but we weren’t too bothered.

Verified reviewThe young man who works there is amazing can’t speak of him any higher, provided lifts, cooked meals he could do it all. The views and terrace are spectacular.
The owner had said they would pick me up from train station but failed to answer my calls/ messages when train arrived. Ended up being harassed by tuk tuk drivers at the train station as I booked an uber and didn’t realise there is a local agenda from the tuk tuk drivers from doing so.

Verified reviewWe stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. It was a wonderful place with an amazing view. We wished we had more time, but we already had other plans. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly; he arranged our scooter rental and even picked us up from Ella train station. The free breakfast came with a beautiful mountain view, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot some monkeys! The room was clean and lovely. We’d definitely stay here again if we return to Ella.

Verified reviewThe owner guy was very friendly. They allowed us to keep the luggages for an early check as we arrived the city earlrier than we expected. We booked the tuk tuk with the same owner guy, who took us to all the destinations we asked for, that too from early morning 5am. He charged around 5000lkr which is very reasonable compared to the other drivers. On the way, he explained about all the places. The stay was super comfy. He carried our luggages all the way from the place where the tuk tuk were dropped. Our luggages were very heavy. but he was really helpful. SDuring night, we were very tired and at the same time we were hungry, but coulndt go out. When we explained this to them, he went to the city and got the food for us. As no food apps work on that region. Highly recommend this place for the super stay surrounded by a lot of humanity towards the people.

Verified reviewThe host arranged a free tuk-tuk pickup from the train station to the rooms, and the driver was always available for anything we needed. They even organized transport to other distant places in Sri Lanka at a good price. The views are spectacular, and the grandma who prepares breakfast is amazing. 100% recommended! I suggest staying at least two nights. Best regards from Barcelona!

There were a lot of insects in the bathroom but this is to be expected in this location. They had an insect net around the bed

Getting to the property was very difficult, lots of steep slippery steps and I wouldn’t have booked if I’d known that as I’m pregnant. Room had a ball smell of damp also.

Verified reviewThe view was without doubt the best we’ve had! Chamee and his brother were such nice people! They definitely made our time there very special and easy. They always drove us to the city and even did long trips. Their family is very special and the way they treat others is very kind. We felt so welcomed ❤️
The shower was a bit tricky.

Verified reviewA wonderful place! A charming retreat located on the outskirts of town, offering breathtaking mountain views and a magical sunrise. The hosts were incredibly warm and helpful, arranging transportation to local attractions and even providing a tuk-tuk to town. The meals were absolutely delicious, the views were stunning, and everything was impeccably clean. This place and its people truly enchanted us—thank you!

Verified reviewThis was our best homestay during our two week trip in Sri Lanka! Chamika, the owner, is incredibly friendly and helpful providing recommendations and being available at all time! The views from the balcony are breathtaking (you can even see little Adam’s peek) and breakfast was delicious! Also, the whole family was very kind and all Tuk Tuk rides to the sights etc were organized for us (the family has several Tuk Tuks, good price). Thank you Chamika and family for this incredible experience!

Verified reviewThe view really is the highlight of this place - the sunrise over the mountains is beautiful. The staff are super friendly and helpful, breakfast was great! We would definitely come back here:)
Not an issue because the amazing staff helped us but this place isn’t really suitable for suitcases - backpacks are much better:)

Verified reviewLovely and helpful staff. Speaks very good english. They also transfer us everywhere and arrange tours. Everything has make so easy for us! Place was incredible. View from the balcony just front of little Adam's peak. Just like wow. It was a plast to just chill at balcony, watching views and the monkeys who was jumping around from trees to trees. Breakfast was delicious and one of the best what we had at our 3weeks holiday at Sri Lanka. And it changed everyday. Last day we have early morning heading to Ella. And they packed breakfast in take away boxes with us. Btw be aware of monkeys also, one of them stole our banana when we had our breakfast at balcony. Room was clean, bed was comfy and have mosquito net. No A/C but fan. This place was also so quiet. We maybe sleep our best nights in here. Toilet was big, with lot of ants. (It didint bother us, but there were a lot of them.) Also water pressure wasn't good. Shower okay but in tap no. Warm water also, just needed to wait a while for that. Toilet floor gets very slippery when you have had shower. I slip and fall one time. Luckily i was ok after that. But be careful with the wet floor. Balcony have table and chairs. Those chairs were ok but maybe couple of more chilling chairs would be awesome. So you can just be there, enjoying views and reading book etc more comfortable. There is only 2 rooms. This place was tricky to find. Its not near the road that leads there. When you see sign 'On Rock Home' and right green house with yard. You're there. After that you must do a little hike to get your room. First there is good stairs, but last stairs that leads to your room is very uneven and hard to walk 'cause those are dip down. So if you have any fysical limitations this is not place for you. And when it rains those stairs gets also very slippery and hard to walk up and down. Speacially in the dark even there was some lights put on.

Verified reviewOne of my favourite stays in Sri Lanka. The rooms are basic but comfortable, and the view of Adam’s Peak and surrounding wildlife was stunning. Ravindu was a brilliant host - so kind, accommodating and friendly. We are so grateful for all his help during our stay.
There are quite a lot of bugs, especially in the bathroom, but this is to be expected when you are up in the mountains. It didn’t bother us too much. The road to the guest house is also pretty steep, narrow and bumpy.

Verified reviewThe area is beautifully green, surrounded by palm and banana trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere with no traffic noise to disturb your rest. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Another advantage is the affordability of tuk-tuk fares for the distance.
On the downside, the rooms and bathrooms could be cleaner, with stale, humid air and occasional visits from insects and small animals. At night, monkeys jumping on the roof can be quite noisy, which might disrupt sleep.

It is quite far from the main town so getting transport can be difficult (especially in the rain or of an evening)
