Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaWas a struggle to go up and down the property as it was a very steep slope going up. No AC too and just one power socket (however they were kind enough to provide an extension cord when we requested). Rooms really need some touch up - Weren’t really in good shape. Have to do some pest control as there were a lot of insects coming into the room as well.
Exceptional views! Very accommodating staff and owner. Generous breakfast (chargeable).

United KingdomBe aware it’s up a steep road and not all cars would manage it , so heavy bulky luggage could be a problem. Brilliant Roshan took bags on his bike and it’s a steep walk to the accommodation but totally worth it. You can’t walk to town , so a bus into town is easier and not so crowded , but need to negotiate a Tuk Tuk for the return , as buses tend to get very full. The town is very busy and touristy but a good choice of restaurants..
Great idea for rooms , but the standard room is quite tight for two people as the bed is along one side. The superior room had more space , and a terrace. Great host Roshan , and assistant Dhanushan , both friendly and helpful , good breakfast and an evening meal.

This is my favorite place in Ella. It's cozy and comfortable, and there are only tea plantations and birdsong around. This is not the first time I have returned here and I plan to return again. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Panoramic Windows, the whole area is covered with flowers and very beautiful! I definitely recommend it to all my friends and not only. A friend also recommended this place to me.

PakistanThe walk up to the location can be a bit daunting, especially if you've just come from Adam's Peak 😂
The location was phenomenal. About a 20 minute drive away from the hustle and bustle of the main town. Would definitely book again. You'll love the hospitality and cherish the views and serenity of the place.

IrelandThere is a very steep and narrow entry to this place as it is on a hill. If you are driving in a tuk tuk only one person can be in the vehicle at a time in order to get it up the hill so this is something to be mindful of.
This place is phenomenal! The views from the room are breathtaking as you are so high and can see over all the mountains. Our plan was to go watch the sunrise over little Adam's Peak but we decided to watch it from here instead as it seems just as high if not higher and we got to watch it from the comfort of our own little balcony. Can't describe how beautiful this was!!! Room is comfortable with a nice area to store luggage within. Definitely a special experience! Just to be aware this accommodation is a 10 minute drive from the main Ella Town with all the restaurants so it's quite accessible via Tuk tuk but not in walking distance.

Bosnia and HerzegovinaEverything was great and I have no complaints. I was unlucky to have 4 days of constant rain, but I liked the accommodation so much that it was fun to actually stay in and chill out and avoid the rain that way!
Great place to stay in Ella, but outside of Ella town center! I was really looking forward to this accommodation ever since I booked it - and it did not let down! Great communication with Roshan, accommodation looked just as advertised. WiFi was working really well, the room was spacious and had large windows and - as advertised - you can see a fabulous sunrise from your bed every morning. Breakfast was the best I had on my 3-month trip - diverse and tasty authentic local food (and huge) - compliments to the young chef! I wanted this particular type of location - Ella as a town is overrun with Western tourists, and I wanted to have nothing to do with them. I preferred to stay outside the city center (reachable by tuk tuk) and enjoy AMAZING views of the mountain peaks. So, this will be great for travelers who are similar to me.

The place was very quiet and gorgeous. We reached the hotel after sunset. We couldn't see much of the area due to the mist and darkness. After the dawn, we saw amazing views of mountains and eagle view of the ella city.... there was a wonderful swing net and a wooden table.. The room was pretty darn tidy and cleaned. Everything was arranged in good order.. breakfast was delicious, and it was right on time we requested. Very nice place to visit with your loved one and don't miss the chance..
