Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United StatesThe internet exists but is a little slow. But my phone data worked just fine. Others complained about construction but I could barely hear it. It's much quieter than most places I've stayed in this country.
The best thing about this place is the manager, Milan. I've met a lot of very nice hosts in my month in Sri Lanka but he stands above. Very nice and welcoming. Took care of all travel needs. Need a tuk tuk? Safari arrangements. Whatever, he did a great job. My phone got wet and wouldn't charge. He dried it out. I found myself just hanging at the hotel with Milan. The place is fairly new and quite nice. It's up a hill on a one lane road that is two way traffic. 70% of the time it's fine but the rest it can be a mess. The hotel has views of Ella rock and the monastery. Milan said sunrises are beautiful and features Ella Rock but I did not catch one. No AC but you don't need it. Room has plates, glasses, cups and a hot pot. I tried to extend my stay but it was booked.

United KingdomThe room smelled overpoweringly of damp and the 'toiletries' turned out to be a bar of handsoap and the bathrobes pure fiction. No sheet to cover yourself - just a blanket.
Friendly staff, it felt safe and they allowed us to keep our bags there after check-out as we went exploring around Ella, before leaving in the afternoon for the coast.

LithuaniaNot so good things place about this place: - constructions are happening around the building so keep in mind that you can be woken up at 8 am from all the sounds. - kind of poor sound proofing you can hear people talking outside and music in the late evening from Ella center
Actually we liked the rooms, we ordered two. One was triple, spacious with a wonderful views from balcony, big windows and the other one was at first floor, double room, smaller but also nice. Very good value for the price. It is also located 3 min from Ella centre with all shops and restaurants so that was comfortable.

United KingdomIt’s a perfect location up a bit of a hill but means you can’t hear all of Ella on a night, the accommodation itself is very well cleaned with good facilities and can’t name a single fault. Would definitely recommend very shocked this place is not more expensive.

SwitzerlandChilly at night, but Ruwan gave us more blankets, then it was totally fine.
Location great! Ella itself is a bit noisy so we were very happy to be a little bit outside the center, but still close enough to have restaurants, ect. Ruwan is a really easy-going, nice guy and helped us a lot. The room was very clean and the beds huge.

NetherlandsIt is a steep hill up. Specially after a night drinking it is steep.
The bed was lovely. The garden is small and they were working there, but no disturbance. Owner was nice and the windows in the room nice. You do not hear the noises of Ella, what is very nice and a lot of nature sounds around. It is very close of everything.

It is very difficult to find accommodation in Ella where you don’t feel the dampness, and all your belongings end up damp after just one night. But here, we found it! The room was beautiful, clean, and airy. The bathroom was modern and spotless. The owner was extremely helpful. On the evening of our arrival, he arranged for our laundry to be done, and by the next morning, everything was washed and fresh. The following day, he arranged a scooter rental for us. We initially planned to stay for only two nights, but we liked it so much that we extended our stay. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Ruwan was very helpful and friendly! The room itself was amazing - very clean and looked new. We would stay here again. There was construction on next door but this didn't not bother us as it wasn't loud and it wasn't a problem.

Good location in Ella. Is based on a big hill, but don’t let that put you off. Ruwan will go above and beyond for you. The nicest host ever!! Room was clean, spacious and comfortable!! Would stay again if ever in Ella.

United StatesThis was the only place I stayed that only had type g plugs. The nearest grocery store sells cheap adapters if you find yourself with only a type d. I felt perfectly safe, but the windows don’t have any type of bars or screens. Since there’s no a/c you’ll likely want to have them open.
Nice place close to town, but quiet and secluded.

United States1) the location is on top of a large hill, getting home at the end of the day was exhausting. 2) they are doing construction on some of the pathways, and the walkway to the upper level. Once the construction is done, it'll be so nice.
This place is absolutely perfect with only two exceptions
