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.).

ItalyThe accommodation is in a very beautiful location, although it can only be reached by tuk tuk. The property provides an efficient free shuttle service from 8 am to 9 pm. Outside these hours, the service can be easily arranged with the property at a minimal cost.
The view is superb! The staff are extremely friendly and kind. They are available for any need and do their best to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. The property is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast is excellent, both in portion size and quality.

AustriaBeautiful accommodation and a friendly, helpful owner! We felt very comfortable. Very clean room, very comfortable bed, and a beautiful view! The ride to the hotel was an adventure in itself; it's amazing what tuktuk drivers can do. The free tuktuk service to and from the city center was so nice. The only thing that bothered us was some loud work/noise outside beginning around 7am in the morning. Depart from that it was really quiet, and all we could hear was just nature! We can recommend this hotel to everyone, we really enjoyed our stay :)

A peaceful retreat outside of Ella with incredible views. Complimentary Tuk Tuk rides to and from the accommodation were brilliant and were very easy to organise. Good WiFi if you needed to work. Great breakfast over looking the hills in the morning with all the staff being incredibly kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

AustraliaThe location was in a beautiful spot but could be hard to find at night due to being about 10minutes out of the main town. Although they did offer complimentary tuk tuk services, the roads in and out of Tea Hills were very steep.
Incredible breakfast and staff, amazing view of the mountains and the room was equipped with everything that may have been needed.

United KingdomThe location is quite far from Ella town centre, but the free tuktuk shuttle helps and the view makes up for it!
This is a beautiful location, and I really liked the design of the hotel with all rooms looking out over the beautiful view. Breakfast on the balcony was an extra special treat, and I loved the cool breeze you get in the hills. Staff were also friendly and helpful.

RomaniaEverything was great.
The view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.

United KingdomThis has been an amazing stay for us. The place is so clean and spacious and the views are just spectacular. More than what we expected. Staff were so hospitable and accommodated our every request, even helping us to organise a last minute trip to Nuwara Eliya. We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this place, and at such a great price too!

United Arab EmiratesJust keep in mind you will need a tuktuk to reach the location (not accessible by car). The hotel arranges that for free between 8AM and 8PM. Also no AC but it wasn't a problem as it is very cool in Ella.
Everything was perfect, from the room to the view and the breakfast.

United KingdomThe only small problem was that the location made it quite loud at night which made sleeping difficult. I woke up from wind and animals a lot.
Loooved it here - so peaceful. Huge private balcony with an incredible view. Beautiful comfortable bed. Wonderful host was so helpful organising my very short afternoon in Ella - was able to do little adams peak and nine arches in 3 hours and back in time for a lion beer and delicious kottu (order in advance).
