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.).

MalaysiaNothing really. But the payment here is mainly cash, so be prepared with some cash. There is ATM/money changer in Ella town if needed!
This is one of my best stays in my trip. The venue is so interesting - it overlooks mountain and train tracks. There is a shortcut through the tracks to Ella town which is only a few minutes walk. The room is so clean, spacious, and I'd say this was one of the comfortable stays I've had. The owner was super lovely, he has his own tuktuk so if travellers want to prebook pick up / drop off plans, you can and pay him separately for that. The room came with authentic breakfast prepared by the owner and family - so much to eat and must try!

United KingdomLoved everything about staying here, the hosts were so warm, friendly and welcoming and really looked after us, from picking us up at the station when we arrived, to driving our newly hired tuk tuk up the bank from the room when we left. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with the added view of the train track. The room was clean spacious and a very comfortable bed. No air con, only a fan, but it was enough to keep us cool during the night. There was a large balcony too, with great views for miles and of course, the added attraction of watching the trains pass. Getting into town was so easy, just a 5min walk up the train track and we were there. The torch on your phone will be enough to see when it’s dark. Can’t rate this please highly enough and would definitely recommend being there rather than in town. Thank you for a great stay gents.

United KingdomI would really recommend this place. The family are really friendly. Breakfast is great. The room was very clean and comfortable. The balcony was great to chill on and watch the trains go by. Sat there I saw a lot of wildlife like deer across the bank, mongoose, chip munks and lots of birds which was really nice. The place is so close to the station and the centre but quite peaceful nestled on a hill. There’s a shortcut you can take along the tracks to the centre which is only about 1 minute, so it’s so super convenient for everything in Ella. I am very glad I chose to stay here and would definitely come back again. I had a really nice stay there. I’d highly recommend it.

United KingdomWe found the location great, just enough outside of Ella for some peace and quiet but also a 5-10 min walk to the centre along the train tracks. Our balcony overlooked the train line and it was great to see the trains come past. The host was also amazing and so hospitable.

We loved this place, we had initially booked one night but wanted to stay longer, we were moved upstairs to a newly renovated room and it was amazing. The balcony and view were great, the rooms spacious and clean, the people very nice and welcoming. Would definitly recommend, our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka. Also an easy walk into town!

AustraliaNo complaints. It is a little hard to find the first time as Google etc don’t recommend the train line route!
This was my fave place so far in Sri Lanka. The view is amazing. The family is lovely. The room is as the photos show. It is an easy walk from town and the station. You can walk along the train track there but most easy using steps down a slightly longer route back into town.
