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.).

The property has one of the best views in Ella, the staff is the nicest we met in 3 weeks Sri Lanka and it is located right around the Main Street in a quieter area. The breakfast is amazing, as are other dishes you can order all day long. We definitely loved that place.

United KingdomIncredible atmosphere in a well-presented location. Looking out directly toward Ella Rock and only a 15-minute walk to the 9-arch bridge. Great for young families as it has a pool and play area that's entertaining enough to allow parents to relax.

FinlandAlthough some people say that it was not value for money for us as a family it was. The room was great and the view and hammock in the balcony was luxury for us. Staff was very attentive and there were always people to help us if needed. The property was very well kept and clean. The dhal curry was delicious, definitely to recommend! The kids corner made sure our boys were entertained (2 and 4). We did not go to the center of Ella much which suited us but just did some excursions but it was very well walkable (although there was a very steep hill). All in all probably our favorite stay in Sri Lanka 😍

United KingdomLots of steps and the pool could be a bit bigger but that’s being fussy The tuk tuk ride up the hill is 500 slr
Staff were lovely. Nice big room and 2 outdoor play areas. The best one by the restaurant with toys, activities and a sandpit for the kids. The hotel is up a steep hill and then there are steps down to the reception and the rooms but it’s ok. The view is stunning and it’s much quieter here than anywhere on the strip in Ella Food was really good too. Nice breakfast and we ate lunch after a bit of a stressful day and the food was really good
