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...).

Misty view is located perfectly if you want some peace and quiet away from the busy town but close enough. The owners are fabulously friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

SloveniaLocation isn’t ideal, but it’s just a short drive to town by tuk tuk. Internet didn’t work all the time, but was mostly ok.
The host is extremely friendly and the breakfast the best possible- truly amazing and worth coming there just for it. Our daughter loved the tiny additional room.

This is our second stay at Misty View Inn albeit the first time was 6 years ago! We were remembered and warmly welcomed like family - and this filled our hearts with joy. The guesthouse is situated 1.5kms from Ella township with views of the hills beyond. It's situated in a quiet area, away from the busy-ness of Ella. The breakfasts are wonderful - delicious with seasonal fruit (from Mahinda or his family's garden), coconut pancakes and other delights. The best thing has to be Mahinda and his lovely family - such genuine warmth, kindness and generosity. We were sad to leave after a fabulous 3 days stay and hope we can return in the future.

Sri LankaThe entrance is a bit narrow. I had some trouble getting the car up. But after host cleared the path and it became easier. You don't get much of a view of the mountain from the place. But a little walk like 100 m from the place gives you an amazing view of beautiful mountains around.
It was a welcoming place. The host is nice and friendly. The room and the washroom were very clean. Host gave us very nice breakfast. She also arranged us good dinner at some extra cost.

MalaysiaThe hotel is near to Ella station, you need to walk to right side and go backward If you train is from kandy to ella direction, that is a small gate which is open, turn right and keep walking, you will reach the hotel like around 300 meters. we don't know this and tuk tuk charge us 800rp for 1.5km distance ( yes, nowadays ella is hot and this is where tuk tuk come to find money). The location is near to 3 arch bridge, just walk 300 meters and hike up 2 min, you already reached 3 arch bridge, you should go take some photo there or just enjoy there because there is no body usually. The host an south Indian uncle which is Buddhism and he is great and friendly, we ask if he could drive us around to tea factory and nine arch bridge, and he is ok and charge us with reasonable price and also buy some snack for us, end up we buy a coconut drink for him at the small entrance to the nine arch bridge Also not to mentioned the free breakfast is delicious.

Sri LankaThere's absolutely nothing to complain about.
This is my second stay at Misty View Inn. The host and his family were most caring and kind folks. Sameera, the tuk-tuk driver they arranged for me took me to the Nine Arches Bridge and showed me around Ella beyond all my expectations. He's an excellent driver cum guide. The food served at Nihal kade was delicious. It's again my lovely host Mr Karunarathne who introduced them to me. I had an early checking-in as the train reached Ella earlier than I'd expected it to. My host and his family arranged it at such short notice, which was a great relief for me. I spent three nights at Misty View Inn and it was absolutely fantastic. The room I occupied is large enough to accommodate even a family of four or more. It's about 1.5 km from Ella town, but the walk from Ella town to Misty View Inn is a magnificent nature trail. I immensely enjoyed going up and down it. From Misty View I went sightseeing in Badulla - Muthiyangana temple and Dunhindha Falls - and then in Koslanda - Diyaluma Falls. The next day I paid a visit to the storied Adisham Bungalow in Haputale and also the Ravana Falls. All in all, Misty View Inn is a cool place to stay in and also to travel to other areas by bus or train as you prefer. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent homestay in Ella.
