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.).

Sri LankaMy Husband and I had the apartment. I really did not like the small kitchen area, even though we had no intention of cooking. It was not modern. It way it was put together was a bit basic. The price paid for the apartment was unjustified. The Bungalow was 25-30 minutes away from the town. Nearly 10 km. Didn’t like the Breakfast. Food was always cold
We appreciated that one of the rooms was upgraded. The room she was supposed to get was shown and she said that it was basic. The view was amazing The shower was good with good hot water.

Lovely beautiful and peaceful location with wonderful views and lovely rooms. Was wonderful to wake up to and ate breakfast on the balcony admiring the hills. Ella is very busy and planters bungalow is in a much more chilled location, so glad we stayed here instead! Food was lovely too. A great experience.

United KingdomA common area to enjoy a drink or relax with a book in the bungalow itself would have been good, however our balcony was gorgeous.
The location is sublime - our room had panoramic views and we enjoyed watching the wildlife, particularly the monkeys swinging in the tree canopy. Our room was spacious, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The staff are warm, welcoming and friendly. A highly recommended stay.

United KingdomThere was building work going on to build a new kitchen. It was a bit noisy but luckily we were out exploring each day so didn’t impact us too much. If you wanted downtime at the accommodation it would have been noisy from our rooms but other rooms nearer to the pool wouldn’t have been impacted as much.
The location was stunning, rooms were good and the service was exceptional. Every member of staff wanted to help if they could.

United KingdomThe pool was cold. We had an unfortunate experience where one of us got locked in the bathroom due to a faulty latch. The staff assisted in opening the door for us. There was also a brief power outage which coincidentally happened when we were locked in the bathroom.
Great location in the centre of nature with amazing views. Friendly and hospitable staff

AustraliaThe kitchen is currently far from the dining area, therefore that meals were delayed and cold. There are renovations happening to move the kitchen close. The work is noisy and disruptive. The hotel will be much better when they are finished.
The view and the gardens were excellent. The location is quite lovely. There is a good pool at the hotel.

United StatesThere’s a lot of bugs, not the resort fault. The monkeys are crazy, aggressive, banging on the glass doors to get in again not the resort’s fault. The room is very spacious, but does need to be updated., plugs are in different spots to actually be useful. The grounds are incredible however
The lush Gardens just beautiful. Seriously the best part was the monks chanting in the morning like 530 to 630 sunrise. Also sunrise over the mountains exquisite view. Incredibly calm, peaceful, joyful. The staff went over and above, seriously! You were there for my daughter’s 29th birthday and she was vegan. They decorated the outdoor table with balloons and a happy birthday sign and give us all kinds of wonderful foods all of the vegan that she could enjoy. If you wanna place where they’re gonna go the extra mile even if it is a little updating or it’s pretty far off seems to be worth it as long as you don’t mind those monkeys.

We love the beautiful gardens in the birds. The staff was so incredibly kind and a special birthday for our daughter who was traveling with us… Adult 29-year-old daughter. She is vegan and they totally made a menu for her outstanding.

United KingdomJust worth flagging it’s 20 minute away from Ella with the restaurants etc
Amazing property - absolutely beautiful views over Ella Gap which is what you’re there for! Food at the hotel was great, especially the breakfast in the room, and the pool and surrounding area/plants were beautiful. So quiet and calm, great way to enjoy Ella. Location for us worked perfectly, about 20 minute drive from Ella town but if you hire a scooter or just grab tuk tuks you to a great drive.

United KingdomDo be aware that, being close to the jungle and a temple, there can be some natural nighttime noises (monkeys, chants). Nothing extreme—just part of the experience of staying close to nature.
This hotel near Ella is a true gem if you're looking to relax in nature. Located about 12 km outside the city, it offers a peaceful, green setting with absolutely breathtaking views. The pool area is beautiful, breakfast and service were excellent, and the room was spacious and very clean. It’s the perfect place to unwind away from the crowds Overall, a beautiful and serene place to stay near Ella. Highly recommended if you're after calm, comfort, and amazing views.

This is a beautiful small hotel with excellent rooms and stunning views, about 15 minutes from bustling Ella.
