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...).

AustraliaThe location and the personal attention of the staff. Ignore the negative review, this is an exceptional small hotel at incredible value for money. Probably the best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka.

ArmeniaThe hotel was on a hill, and our car could not go the top. So we had to walk all the way up with luggages. About 5 min walk uphill. Hard specially at night because its dark.
Everything was great, same as the pictures. The view was amazing, the room was clean and tidy.

United KingdomNothing really, we were doing the Pekoe Trail so we weren't really looking for Ella's hedonism and 90° gave us some peace.
Ella is quite a busy tourist town but at 90°, it is high up and far enough away from the crowds. It had a great balcony and the room was spacious and clean. The staff were very attentive without being in fussy.

SloveniaThe location was excellent. Only a few minutes' walk away is the railway station and city center. The hotel is lovely and the room was large and spacious. Most importantly, the staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. When we return to Ella, we will choose this hotel again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

United KingdomJust heads up- Ella can be a bit of a party town at times and the sound can travel.
New business set by a couple of local friends. Room was very nice and clean. The views from the hotel roof top were very beautiful and relaxing environment. We required a driver for our next destination and the owner sorted it without any issue. And he ended up being our driver for the rest of our time in Sri Lanka Affordable and delicious breakfast!
