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...).

New ZealandThe room unfortunately was damp, musty and smelt of mould. It made our dry clothes damp inside the room. Air conditioner or fan may have helped.
The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the outdoor area where you could relax and have breakfast had lovely views over to Ella Rock and the mountains. It was peaceful, quiet and truly up and away from the hub of Ella town.

GermanyIt’s actually really far out of town but very quite and up in the mountains! I didn’t have a problem to walk the last bits from the stairs but could be a problem for people!
Saman and his family are taking really good care of their guest! I rented their scooter and couldn’t find the proper way and saman got on the scooter with me and drove me from where it was very clear how to go! Other than that the terrace is absolutely loving and the breakfast is amazing !!! Also the cooked Curry in the evening was absolutely delicious!! I really enjoyed staying with them and would definitely come back!

GermanyThe place is a bit off the beaten path so it is not very easy to get to. But i think the owners will help if needed.
Very nice view and quiet place. The host family was very supportive and breakfast and dinner were very good as well. They have a lovely view from the terrace with good possibility to see a sunrise over little Adams Peak and Ella Rock.

NetherlandsThe biggest assets are the incredible kind host family and the view. Room size is also great! Know that the location is quite remote (you have to work for the view, all worth it). Walking to Ella town is still possible though. Food at the location is excellent, make sure you eat in a couple of nights! Sun View Resort consists of the one room. There's no airconditioning (even though Booking did mention this - that's why I'm writing it here), but the room remained cool enough. Laundry service was super fast. The WiFi wasn't, but that wasn't an issue. Breakfast was amazing each morning. Our family with 2 small kids totally recommend this place! Thank you for having us and the super special stay. We're lucky people :-)

GermanyI had a fantastic stay at Sun View Resort and Saman and his family really made the extra mile to make me feel as comfy as possible. Although the way up the hill is quite demanding, it really pays off with an amazing view, quietness, good oxygyn as well as free tea and cookies. A special thanks goes to Saman who is an amazing host. On Poson Poya he took me to the nearby temple to watch the evening celebrations. For the sunrise on the next morning, I was allowed to get up to their terrace to get an even broader view on Adams Peak and Ella Rock. I was served a delicious local breakfast and Saman offered to be my personal guide to hike up the Ella Rock for a small fee (5000 Rs). The rice and curry for dinner was foreigner friendly (low spice level). Moreover, the room was exceptionally clean and spacious. Lights and sockets were close to the bed. Fan and mosquito net was provided. There was hot water as well. Sun View Resort is definitely the place to go if you search for something realaxing outside the hustle and bustle. It is very very good value for money. I can recommend it 100% and would come again. Thank you Saman and your family for the great hospitality.

AustriaThe hosts of Sun View Resort Kithalella do everything possible to make you happy. I had a bit of a primadonna moment at the beginning of my stay and they handeled it very well and were very accommodating. Also when I twisted my ankle they were there to help. The entire family is very welcoming. The place is tucked up on the hills facing Little Adam's Rock and Ella Rock , the room had a patio, so perfect for sunrise watching. The Room was more than spacious. I loved to wake up in the morning with nothing but sounds from the woods around me. It is a quiet and natural paradise. The breakfast and dinner were also super yummy and more than plentiful.

The property was very nice, clean and spacious. The terrace was private and gave plenty of privacy and space to read in the evening. Good breakfast; they also gave us a take away for the last day. We had laundry there for a fair price. The property is far from the centre; this is well indicated in the description and map, but we underestimated it.
