Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Amazing view from the upper rooms! Hosts were very friendly, all services requested happened fast and for good price. It’s a few minutes away from the trouble, rather calm. Good start for Ella’s Rock hike.

GermanyOur stay was unforgettable—the view from the room was absolutely stunning, overlooking lush jungle and mountains, with the added bonus of watching the sunrise right from bed. The room was spacious and peaceful, giving us plenty of room to relax and soak in the surroundings. What truly made the stay special was the staff—very, very, very kind, warm, and always going the extra mile to make us feel at home. A peaceful retreat with views and vibes that are hard to beat.

IndiaMy stay at this place in Ella was absolutely incredible! The rooms were very clean, well-maintained, and the beds were super comfortable. The lobby was a fantastic place to meet people, and I made so many new friends. The dining area had a cool vibe, and the guests felt like family. The staff were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met—they took great care of everyone, making it a welcoming and fun environment. We played games at night, and it was always full of fun and entertainment. The breakfast was huge and delicious and the location was perfect—close to the railway station and surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful escape from the busy city. There’s also a BUSTOP right opposite the hotel, which is convenient for getting to the city, although the buses aren’t very frequent. They also offers bike rentals, which made exploring the city easy and enjoyable. Overall, this was the best stay of my life—a truly unique and unforgettable experience!

The location is perfect! Just 15 min walk to the city center. So you dont hear the city but everything is really close. Room was very nice and clean! And i finely had a good bed so i loved it. The owners are super friendly and willing to help you with everything. You can rent a scooter here for a good price to visit a lot of nice places in the area. The breakfast and dinner is also very good! Overall i love this place and i will come back for sure

GermanyRooms were clean and staff was really friendly and helpful. Def recommended to rent a scooter at the reception as location is a bit remote. Also make sure to answer the pick up message since tuk tuks try to overcharge at station / bus stop.

United KingdomThe host it's amazing, anything you need for your stay from transport to information you have it. You won't go without it's perfect for backpackers and all travellers. Me and my partner are backpacking around Ella now, we originally choose a one nights stay and loved it so much we stay another night and looked to do a 3rd. We used the transport from our host multiple times a day anywhere we wanted to go always just a phone call away Tuk Tuk service at its best. super cheap and now 3 brand new scooters for hire are available. The best laundry service in 9 weeks of travelling washed ironed and packed happy times here.
