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...).

PolandLovely and exceptional stay in Ella 🫶🏻 Hosts were extremly nice and helpful. We had really good Sri Lankan breakfast including fresh fruits and juice. Room was cozy with large bed and nice terrace. However it was humid inside. Hosts enabled us a scooter rental so we could visit many nice spots in Ella. Location was 10-15 minutes on foot to the centre of Ella with nice restaurants.

FranceNothing! It was just lovely!
Tucked away from the madness of Ella town but still walking distance. The cottage was really quirky with some lovely features. Safe parking for our hired Tuktuk. Hosts were super - as was the Sri Lankan breakfast. If you want something a bit different, still either full amenities (or aircon, fridge, coffee making etc), then I can’t recommend it enough!

Great location, walking distance to the town but away from the business and very close to the trailhead for 9 arches bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. Dhanush was friendly and exceptionally helpful with any question we had. He helped book us an onward taxi too The breakfast was amazing, wish we could have that every day now!

United KingdomThe room was a little small but perfectly fine for just one night.
After arriving quite late into Ella we found the bedroom quite small but very cosy and comfortable. The bathroom was stylish and the shower excellent. The property is located out of the centre of Ella (which we preferred) and also allowed a nice morning walk to see the Nine Arch Bridge. The host was very kind and provided us with a lovely cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Breakfast was nice and filling. The host was able to quickly arrange onward transport for us towards Udawallele via some beautiful waterfalls and scenery.

United KingdomThe room was clean, and we enjoyed our stay here. The Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious—10/10! Dhanush was kind and helpful, providing great advice on where to go sightseeing. It’s about a 9-minute walk to the center, around 20 minutes to Nine Arch Bridge, and about 30 minutes to Little Adam’s Peak. Overall, highly recommended!

United KingdomThe blinds were see through and so In the mornings there was lots of light and lacked privacy. It was on a quiet road but could hear traffic at night.
Traditional Sri Lanka breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable and stylish. Hosts were very accommodating and organised a taxi for us to our next destination.

AustraliaWe had at great time at McQueen Homestay. The owners are a lovely family who took great care of us including collecting us from the train and cooking dinner when we arrived late into Ella. They gave great tourist advice and made our stay in Ella memorable. The location was perfect for visiting 9Arches Bridge and little Adam’s peak, but in a quiet street a short walk from the centre of Ella.
