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...).

ItalyThe location is amazing—I don’t think I’ve ever slept in a better place than this. I was right in the heart of nature, far from traffic and the city center. There’s a stunning waterfall right in front, and birds sing all day long, including MANY peacocks. The owner and his brother are fantastic—always available and doing their best to help. I had a medical issue during my vacation, and they were incredibly kind and helpful. I truly appreciated it.

NetherlandsIt’s very basic. Just a bed and extremely bright light. Could use a little TLC like repainting the walls (full of splashed mosquitoes and insects), mosquito nets without holes.
Sateesh and Harish are great, very kind and helpful. The breakfast and the views are amazing. Lavish breakfast surrounded by squirrels, peacocks, the sound of the waterfall. They also provide tuk tuk service at additional cost.

PolandIf I had a daughter, I would wish my son-in-law to be as nice person as the owner of this place and his brother. The owner and his brother were very helpful and involved. The view of the trees, mountains and fields is breathtaking. At night it is noisy because of animals (squirrels, monkeys and birds whose names I don't know) but this only adds to the attractiveness of this place. During breakfast you can admire the peacocks walking around. If you spend some time in Ella, choose this place.

Beautiful and quiet, little place just a 15min walk (5min Tuk Tuk) from downtown. Comfortable beds and clean, small terrace with a wonderful view of a waterfall and viewpoint which is only a 25 minute walk away. Ella Rock can also be reached from the accommodation. Breakfast on the terrace and watching chipmunks, woodpeckers and camelions! The recommended restaurant just close by prepared creat food.The host, Sathees, was incredibly nice and helpful and arranged tours and cab rides for our onward journey at absolutely correct prices.
