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...).

AustraliaThe view is epic, clean rooms with hammocks overlooking the view point. Yoga twice a day, lots of information about local sights and the team were happy to organising transfers / TikTok’s etc. The staff are so accommodating and kind. They went above and beyond to make the trip amazing and were so lovely with our little children. There’s a kids play corner and sandpit which was brilliant, as well as a lovely pool with insane views. The food has been some of the best on the trip, delicious hoppas, construct your own poke bowl and endless western and Sri Lankan breakfast options at the buffet. Would definitely return and highly recommend

PolandI highly, highly, recommend this hotel, especially if you're traveling with children. The hotel offers a wonderful view from both rooms, the restaurant, and the pool. There's a play area for kids, and the staff is fantastic. Everyone is super friendly, with a sense of humor, helpful, and not overwhelming. Additionally hotel is an absolute escape from the loud and crowded center of Ella. We had an amazing time there and I can definitely recommend it.

CanadaI do wish there was a back up plan to have hot water especially after a long day but it is understandable that on the days with no sun, the shower eater will be cold.
The view is outstanding. Having a hammock outside each room to enjoy the view was very relaxing. The rooms are very well though our ex. Drying racks /rodsthat are very long to allow clothes and towels to hang dry especially since it is humid; the universal outlets, the fans and mosquito nets. The staff are small in numbers but this gives you the opportunity to get to know them and they get to know your preferences. They provided the best service and always a smile on their face. The food was also amazing....don't forget to ask for the "mixture" (chana snack). The are waterfalls, the town, Ravana Zipline, 9 arches are also close by. There is so much to do in Ella and this hotel is close to it all. It is important to note that this place is not accessible due to the inclination of the hotel on the mountain, there are a lot of stairs and uneven depths so you have to be very careful, especially on rainy days. I would 100 percent recommend this hotel to anyone visiting. We plan on making it back here again.

This place is the spot to book!! The hammocks with the view are insane. The staff makes this entire place - they are kind, tireless and aiming to please the guests. The chef is amazing and their sandwiches perfect after a hike. You can do an easy walk on the railway to the waterfalls from the hotel. There are stairs entering that are steep just FYI but the entire hotel is perfect with yoga in the mornings as well. Just book it, you won’t regret it!

AustraliaThe pool was in a perfect location, but was about 12 -15 metres long and I prefer pools at least 25m long to allow some laps.
The view is to die for. Our room had views in 2 directions , and “Zion view” is an apt description : a mountain ( and waterfall) in paradise.

FranceThe only downside was the rooms felt a little exposed, so if you are looking for a luxury private place, this might not tick every box.
We loved everything. The views were breathtaking. The staff were exceptional. The food was delicious (try the devilled chicken with paranta). We would go back in a heartbeat.
