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 KingdomNothing. I would go back. However, the many steps leading up to the property would not be suitable for the unfit!
Spotlessly clean homestay run by a young couple high above the noise of Ella Town. Huge room with en suite, mosquito nets, storage space, a standing fan, hot showers, very comfortable bed and pillows. A balcony to sit on that catches the cool breeze, with views across to Ella Rock. Humming birds and squirrels fun to watch. Huge and delicious dinners and breakfast, freshly cooked. Two playful and friendly dogs as well!

PolandI had a great stay at this homestay! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and their two lovely dogs added to the cozy atmosphere. I was greeted with a pot of coffee upon arrival and was given another pot the next morning. The owner kindly picked me up with a tuk-tuk from the main road when I couldn't find my way to the homestay. I highly recommend staying here! ☀️

United KingdomIf I have to say one thing it's the dog that wouldn't stop barking at night. The dog was lovely but kept us up at night but really wasn't a bother in the end.
The location is very good for access to the railway station. We only stayed for one night. Large room with dry rack which helped when we came back from trekking Ella rock. The husband (sorry don't know his name) dropped our luggage to the railway station at no charge (but we did tip them well for the room) but still shows how kind the host and husband are and they are truly genuine people. Very warm loving people from the moment we got there.

Room was clean and confortable, mosquitos net, bathroom with hot shower (if you don't take to late), soap, toilette paper. The best accommodation for this price. We had really nice welcome from the family, we really enjoy our stay.

Wonderful family living there, they help with whatever they can. Big and clean room. The location is close to the railway station and the city center, nevertheless it doesn't feel like it due to all the trees and plants around. Yummy breakfast with traditional Sri Lankan food. You won't be hungry for a while after.
