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 KingdomPoomaz Peace Palace was brilliant. Located in the heart of Ella it was perfect for exploring all Ella has to offer. The room and facilities were excellent and the view from the balcony was exceptional. Poorna was a great host and was very responsive to any questions we had via WhatsApp or in person. We would 100% recommend choosing Poomaz Peace Palace for a stay in Ella.

NetherlandsWe had a very pleasant stay at Poomaz Peace Place in Ella. Everything was well taken care of, and we truly appreciated the warm hospitality. One point for improvement would be the water pressure in the bathroom, which was quite low. Enhancing this would make the stay even more comfortable.
We spent two nights at Poomaz Peace Place in Ella and had a wonderful stay. Our thanks go to Mr. Seaan, who took great care of us and was very friendly. He also prepared two delicious breakfasts for us. The hotel is centrally located, very close to the center of Ella. All major attractions in Ella were easily accessible from the hotel. The quality and price were excellent.

Rooms are equipped with all the amenities and if you need any additional services, hosts are just a phone away. If you're in Ella, then Poomaz peace palace should be the destination for you.

AustraliaThe shower is solar heated so not as reliable. This should be noted when booking. Also no air-conditioning in room but said there was. They had ceiling fan and upright fan which was ok for me.
View from room was great, staff always smiling, breakfast was big and tasty, a little different over 2 days that l stayed. A little walk up a steep road 5 min from main town area.

United KingdomRooms are slightly dated and the bathrooms could do with a bit of a deeper clean or updating but this isn’t the end of the world. Also no air con but it is cool in the evening compared to other places. Your experience may vary.
Fantastic location. Ella is very very hilly. If you have mobility issues you need to be as close to the main road as possible (if you plan on going out). This has like a 5 minute (very steep) walk but it’s one of the closer places. We loved being able to walk down to the shops/bars/restaurants within 5 minutes. Staff were great and organised transfers. Gave advice for local excursions but weren’t too pushy.

PortugalThe bathroom is also spacious and could perfectly have something to stop the shower water from wetting the whole bathroom floor and toilet when someone is taking a shower... Also the staff guy who worked there couldn't advise us on going to the coast by bus. He said there was no bus and that he could give us a budget for a transfer... which is not true. I understand they want to support fellow local worker's to also profit from tourism, but people should be honest and always give the correct information. Nevertheless, we found info about the buses to the coast online and by asking on the street. So this wasn't a major problem for us!
Great location, spacy room and excellent breakfast! Would book it again, for sure
