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...).

Australiaplease be aware this hotel was located right on main street with multiple late night bars located close by. the loud music will go late, and the traffic noise will go even later.
hotel and restaurant are located smack in the center of town with a Bank of Ceylon atm (no transaction fees) downstairs. the room is cheap and cheerful and the balcony is a shared terrace with furniture overlooking the main street. Now the best bit, the attached restaurant is very good quality and our included breakfast was one of the best we had in sri lanka. Make sure you have one meal here if you are staying in Ella

AustraliaThe room was immaculately cleaned. The bed linen was gleaming white and had a pleasant scent. I had everything I needed for a comfortable sleepover, including a well-stocked bathroom, an air conditioner, and a room that was well-sealed, eliminating any risk of spiders or insects.

TurkeyThe room is a bit dark, because there is covered (top) verandah in front and windows are opaque.
It is in the town center, 5-10 minute walk to the train station. Local bus station is in front of it. Our room is basic, clean and tidy. There is a mosquito net around the bed. We also had access to a verandah in front. It is on the main street along with shops and restaurants. A nice old couple runs the place. Its central location is very convenient and it has a very reasonable price. As it is in the centre it can be noisy because of the music and traffic. We didn't mind it...it depends on what you expect. And there is a little steep staircase to the restaurant and then to the rooms so bear that in mind. Overall it is nice and budget friendly.

CanadaThe water pressure was not strong. Warm water could have been warmer. It is too bad that Ella has changed so much. The Main Street is so loud and polluted. Will not be a great stay for the light sleeper..
It is right in the center of Ella and we had easy access to everything. The owners are lovely and very attentive.

RussiaNo noise isolation. The hotel is on a busy street with bars, right across the street is a karaoke bar and there was someone singing horribly all night, all the noise makes its way into your bed. I was up all night. Early in the morning buses and cars started coming and going. There are no good curtains so the room is very bright at night from the signboards. The fan and the canopy over the bed need to be cleaned
Large fresh room, not a bad breakfast The room has access to a large balcony that connects all the rooms on the floor The room was dry. Allowed to leave things and check out a little late
