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 reviewVery pretty place. And great views. Room was clean and comfortable. Family was very helpful.
We were a bit further out of town than I would have liked. I lost my shoes as l left them out side the room and a dog took one of them. Do Not leave your shoes outside your room!

Verified reviewThe garden was very nice. Bed, pillow, sheet etc. were clean. Family hospitality is very good. Lighting was good. Wifi is good.
Location is very bad. Only use tuk tuk. Dog is very friendly. So it's problem. Bathroom and toilet are very nearly. If you use it you will be wet. Room is very small.
Thank you for your review and extremely sorry to uncomfortable🙏

Verified reviewLovely setting - as a family of 5 we took both rooms ( the family room would be too squishy for 3 teenagers and 2 adults together). The food was excellent and the family friendly, happy to do anything they could to help.
The location wasn’t ideal - the host was able to transport us sometimes which was great, but organising our own taxi/tuk tuk for 5 people wasn’t easy. A lot of the tuk tuk drivers in Ella seemed surprised by the location and had to pore over google maps for some time before agreeing to take us! We couldn’t arrange a taxi for less than 1000 LKR (some previous reviews said 500 but we were laughed at trying to haggle from there!). So for 5 people that was double for two tuk tuks. But it was good to escape the bustle of the town.
Thank you for your review. It is very unfortunate that this happened, some of the Ella tuk tuk guys are very unpleasant because they cheat tourists when they take tuk tuk to accommodations outside of Ella town. I apologize again and again for them happened. 🙏🙏

Verified reviewThe staff was really helpful and nice. The room is modern as well as the bathroom and you have a covered outdoor space which is very pleasant.
A bit far from Ella center (30 min by foot). You can order a tuk tuk with the hosts but make sure to haggle prices.
Thank you for recommending me and sorry for the Inconvenient 🙏❤️

Verified reviewVery helpful family with a super cute cat. Property is ten minutes from town about 500-700 lkr depending on your negotiation w tuktuk drivers. Very quiet at night with some early evening peaceful chanting can be heard from nearby monasteries. Suburb dinner from family. First time I had a traditional Sri Lankan dish. So grateful.

Verified reviewStaying at this homestay is definitely worth every penny. The family who owns and runs it is incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, adding great value to your stay. Additionally, the owners offer tuk-tuk services, and they’ll drop you off and pick you up anywhere in the Ella area at a fair price. Overall, it’s a fantastic experience with a warm and welcoming touch.
room space tightly for family like us with 5 members .
Thank you for your comment sir, and I was sorry for any of my mistakes to you.

The place is a bit outside of ella and a little bit difficult to reach.
