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.).

PolandThe view was definitely the best part! You really are in the clouds. The staff was very nice, breakfast also good! Only downside that there is so many steps to reach the place + very steep road, we were very scared while going up by Tuktuk! But this is the price for the beautiful view

GermanyShower broke on my last day so I couldn't use the bathroom to my room and got little sleep from the water drops. Owner tried to fix it but couldn't manage it in the same night. He provided me with bathroom access to another room which was inconvenient for me but the best he could do in that situation. The problem should be resolved by now as I also saw that the other bathroom had different temperature controls. Missing AC but which I was aware of when I booked the room.
Amazing view from the balcony and in a nice quiet area away from Ella city in nature. Could walk down to Ella easily. The owner arranged transport to the train station so I didn't need to take care of it. Good Sri Lankan Breakfast. As I don't eat toast and marmalade they made me delicious Egg Hoppers and Roti among others. Some good local restaurants nearby. As one day it was really foggy I was provided with a torch so that I could go to the restaurant by foot.

IndiaAccessibility to the location… but it offers such a wonderful view so that compensates the accessibility. Its best if you rent a motorcycle during the stay so there won’t be any issue about the accessibility
Staff is extremely supportive and the manager at front desk is a lovely person. He drove his tuk tuk to help us reach the railway station at a very odd time.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
The hosts were amazingly kind and welcoming. They gave advice on where to go and what to see, and I also rented a scooter from them. The view from the place is just stunning, especially at sunrise. It is a little out of town so quiet and peaceful which is just what I wanted. Excellent value for money!

AustraliaIn future I would probably stay less of a climb away from town, it can be very taxing and while there is a shortcut, it's still quite difficult. You can take a tuk tuk instead but in future since you will see views throughout Ella, there's no need personally to stay somewhere with such difficult access just for the view.
Beautiful view, room was decent as well and breakfast was generous. Staff very friendly and helpful.
