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...).

BelgiumIf other guests in the other room are loud, you can hear it. Dogs barking, but that’s everywhere in sri lanka. Location is great for the views! If you come by car you might have to stop on the main road and walk down and up. On foot, there’s a convenient set of steps that takes you to the rails and you can walk along them into the village
Simple and clean room with stunning views of the mountains and waterfall, nestled up a hill overlooking the village, close to the railway. The hosts are an old couple, you will be contacted by someone who speaks english on whatsapp and you can always message them with anything you need (we only needed wifi password). Very flexible with check-in times. Nice breakfast is included!

AustraliaI had such an amazing sleep in Neon Sky Nest. In the morning, you'd only get gently woken up by the sound of the waterfall and the birds. You'd then be served the generous and delicious breakfast served by the lovely host on your terrace in front of the view... And I mean what a view!!! If you use the train tracks as the locals do, everything is really close by - from town, from Ella Rock or from great restaurants.

AustraliaAs others have noted you need a 4WD car or off road motorcycle to get up the driveway so better if you are taking public transit and taxis.
It's 10x better than it looks in the pictures. Amazing view out over the waterfall. You can hear the waterfall. Bed is also really comfortable. This is one of the nicest places I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The old couple who run it are really cute and the breakfast is a multi course feast! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was not far to walk to the train station, centre of town and there is a yoga place nearby also.

SloveniaIt's still okay, but You Just can't get with the car exactly to the stay. You Will probably need additional 50-200m by walk, depending on the kind of your transport to the stay. ✌🏽
Great view, good breakfast, a very cozy and clean room in nature's serenity 5min above the Ella Town "circus" in the evening. 🫶🏽

United KingdomPerfect positioning for the view and peace and quiet. Like everywhere with a great view you have to negotiate narrow roads, steep hills and uneven paths but it is worth it. It’s exceptional value for money with breakfast. When you arrive you might be shocked to see the age of the hosts but they work well as a team and just want to please you. PickMe does work in the area but they add an additional cost to the quoted price. The host does have access to a Tuk Tuk but unfortunately the driver was sick 😷

Wonderful homestay with a jungle Mountain View, can even see a waterfall when it’s rainy too. Warm auntie who served us tea and a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. Couldn’t be happier, we would stay there our whole trip if we could. Clay Pot restaurant was a few minute walk down the train tracks and the town is a 5 minute walk away too.

FinlandIt was a bit more run down than I had expected based on pictures and the room was a tad dirty. My sheets had yellow and brown stains all over them and the floor always left your bare feet brown. However, when I informed the host about the dirty sheets, they came immediately to change them. So honestly the great service and attitude of the staff made up for any shortcomings in other areas. Overall enjoyed my stay.
The location is fantastic for exploring Ella. A 5-minute walk from the main road through the train tracks. The room was spacious, bed was comfy and the staff were very acommodating. The view is what made it worth the money – stunning scenery over the mountains right outside your windows!

FranceThere were a couple of basic issues ( broken showerhead, dysfunctional power plug and very erratic unreliable Wi-Fi connection) which made my 3 days stay a bit difficult. Even though I reported them within the first ten minutes after checkin. Every day another family member came to inspect the showerhead in my bathroom ( which was simply clearly not repairable) yet nothing was being done in the end. The other issues I dropped , because I didn’t want any additional disturbances. (Instead I used my phone prepaid and made do with the power plug high up in the wall….)
The view is beautiful. The owners are doing their best. They lovingly prepare breakfast for each of their guests everyday and serve it at the requested hour.
