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...).

FranceClean room with lovely terrace, overlooking trees with birds and occasional monkey family, delicious breakfast and amazing owners, that helped me organise everything I needed. I recommend this place and if I come back to Ella, I would definitely stay in Littleadems View!

SloveniaThere were little troubles with electricity (it was raining a lot) and hot water in the shower, but once we contacted the owners, they solved it immediately. It was a little damp in the room - it might be because it was raining a lot before we arrived and during our arrival.
I loved the location. It's a few minutes of walking from the center, peaceful, full of wildlife. It has a beautiful terrace where you can enjoy even when it's raining. The breakfast was delicious. The staff was very kind.

GuernseyAlthough not the wet season there had been lots of rain and the room was a little musty. TBH with the level of humidity I think all properties would be the same
Nice location about a 15 minute walk to the main centre but quiet. Owners were really helpful and attentive. Plenty of wildlife including monkeys. Breakfast was excellent. Other reviews mention the hot water. Pressure was a little low (but it's gravity fed so will be) but the water was hot but took a while to come through. Thoroughly recommend.

United KingdomHaving only cold water wasn’t the most convenient- it was quite chilly when I visited Ella and I didn’t take a shower for a bit because it was simply too cold!
The room was lovely, overlooking nature and featuring a private terrace. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the location being a 10 min walk away from the busy Ella centre.

TaiwanThe road into the guest house was a bit rough. Not all vehicles can get in. The final steps are up a steep hill which is not the easiest to navigate.
The hostess was a lovely woman who made an excellent breakfast. The place was simple and clean. I had a small porch with a great view into the forest. Some of the Hornbill birds roosted right outside the door. On the front side of the house is a view of the 2 main peaks of Ella. There was excellent bird life all around. There was a great cooking class right around the corner, as well. Being in the forest you were about a 10-15 minute walk into main Ella.

NetherlandsThe homestay has a beautiful garden and a very cosy veranda with a great view at a green scenery. The location is perfect, just some 500m from the center, but also a hike to little Adams peak or the nine arch bridge will take only 30-60 minutes. The host family is very friendly and welcoming and provides a very tasty breakfast in the morning. Definitely a great place to stay in Ella!

LuxembourgGreat, calm location close to the center and the wonderful family that owns the place. We had a beautiful small terrace in front of our room where we were eating amazing breakfast. Our room was small but very clean and it was enough for our needs. If you need any help with laundry, you have questions about connection to other locations or anythig else don’t hesitate to ask the owner, he will help you. Strongly recommended!

United KingdomNothing to be fair
Prinita and Chanika were really welcoming, we enjoyed a nice pot of tea on arrival . We had a small room with a double bed and mosquito net a fridge, a tall boy with mirror and hanging space. There’s no AC, but we did have a fan, it’s warm now it’s April, so the room was manageable after sunset. We needed the fan to run all night but it was on a timer so I had to keep waking up to put it on for another hour. The bathroom was functional. There was a little hot water but not a lot however as the weather is so warm, it doesn’t really make a difference. The location of the property is on a hillside, so you have a few uphill downhill walks to access or leave the property. We thought this was more than worth it for the views alone, never mind feeling like we were living in the jungle. We chose to spend a few hours in the afternoons on the balcony, listening to the sounds of the jungle, very relaxing. The breakfast consisted of an egg dish, pancakes, bread, a large plate of fresh fruit, each, freshly squeezed juice, and a teapot of tea. A good meal to start the day. We would recommend this Homestay.
