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...).

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.

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.

CroatiaNot all vehicles can get to this place because the road is narrow and steep. But the staff can come and pick you up, so it is not a big problem.
The property really has a golden view over Ella Gorge and Ella Rock. It is situated in the middle of the jungle and you can hear local fauna while staying there. This is a real value for money - basic, but you have to take into account that you are on the hill in the middle of the forest. The host and the staff are super friendly.

IndiaLocation was a little hard to get to with a minivan through the narrow uphill roads in darkness. There was only one walkable restaurant nearby. Minor nit - even though the breakfast was great, they only had tea or coffee as drinks. Wish our little boys cold have had a fruit juice or some drink to go with their breakfast.
Fantastic sunrise view! The rooms were clean and the wifi was great. The staff was very friendly and prepared amazing breakfast for us. Would considering staying here again in the future. :)
