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.).

GermanyIf you want to enjoy the best balcony view in Sri Lanka, book the Eagle View. It doesn't get any better than that. You can see for miles but you won't see any buildings, not even in the distance. What you can see is thunderstorms building up dramatically and coming towards you. You can really see eagles, hummingbirds, chipmunks - it's pristine nature out there (25 min south of Ella town). At night, all you hear is jungle noises, no traffic, no neighbours. Eagle View has only three rooms so consider yourself lucky if you've got one. The staff are the nicest and most caring people, you will really love it there (if you are a nature lover). Really comfy bed, too, and a nice bathroom. Unbelievable breakfast! What you need to know: you've got to pay for your room in cash when you check out. Also, there is no AC but two powerful fans. And the WiFi connections fizzles out every time there's a rain front coming through. Otherwise a perfect place!

AustraliaThe best accommodation we stayed at in our entire trip to sri lanka. We got the top floor room with air con. The room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. the view was amazing and we saw an eagle fly past our room in the morning. The staff were very nice and friendly. Everything was great about this villa. the only issue we had was that there weren’t much restaurants or stores to buy food/snacks. One of the hosts did take us to a nearby restaurant but I would recommend to bring some snacks with you and enjoy them with a nice tea in the evening.

Rooms are spacious and lovely .. that view ❤️ Breakfast was delicious . Staff are helpful and kind - sorted us out a tuk tuk driver to do Ella highlights in a day . Was amazing.

AustraliaOne drawback of this hotel is its location, which is 30 minutes out of town. This means there aren't many nearby cafes or restaurants, and you'll need your own transport to get around.
This lovely hotel, perched on a hill, has stunning views. The rooms are super comfortable, equipped with mosquito nets to ensure a safe and undisturbed night's sleep. Although the room lacks air conditioning, it has several fans to keep you cool. The staff is extremely friendly and helful. To top it all off, the breakfast is absolutely amazing, offering a great start to your day.

SlovakiaEverything was perfect about our stay! The rooms very huge, clean, bright, they had everything you needed (AC, fan, net, mini fridge) the bathroom was also very nice and clean and the view was amazing!! We also loved the location, its around 30 min on scooter (the owner helped us with renting a scooter) to Ella, which we did not mind as we hate loud and touristic places like Ella. This place was thus perfect for us to relax and unwind and hide from all the tourism and commercialization. The breakfast were perfect, so so delicious and fresh!! And the owner and the boys were all very kind, helpful and nice. They even made us dinner one day and booked a tuktuk for us on last day as we needed to catch early train to Kandy. Overall it was perfect stay and I would recommend it to everyone!

The location of the property is fabulous overlooking the valley. It's around 10 -15 kms outside of Ella town, but you can get a tuk tuk to their place. The owner, Nadeha, and caretaker Nadu were amazing. The breakfast spread that Nadu made for us was so wonderful. They even packed breakfast for us when we checked out early to catch train to Kandy. They guided us very well during our stay.

AustraliaWe were on the same floor closest to the entry so can hear people coming in and out. There is also a gap above the entryway door where light shines through. As we were early sleepers, we had to turn the hallway lights off ourselves
Absolutely the most amazing accommodation we stayed at in Sri Lanka, specifically for the view of the rolling hills and the incredibly amazing spread for breakfast (the best I've had in the past week). The staff is super nice and generally a very quiet location 30mins out from Ella

GermanyThis stay has one of the most stunning views we have ever had from a balcony. Perfect for the people that want a beautiful sun rise without having to climb a tall mountain to get the view. It was the most beautiful and cleanest accommodation throughout our whole stay in Sri Lanka. The staff is very helpful and the breakfast that is included was vast and delicious. If you plan to visit this area I would definitely recommend staying some nights.
