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...).

The staff at Ella were very attentive to mine and my husband needs. Breakfast and dinner was always freshly prepared and delicious. The Massage was the best we have experienced and very good value for money. I wish I had taken all their names, so I could mention them in this feedback...every single one of the staff made us feel special. On our last day, my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to the owner of Ella. Lovely gentleman. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

United Kingdomlittle bit overpriced for the standard of the room, no A/C just a fan. steep walk up the hill but that pays for the view!!
Absolutely amazing view, nice to chill in the hammock and look out. Breakfast is good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave us a free shuttle to the train station and takeaway breakfast as were leaving early. Pool is nice.

IrelandFrom start to finish I cannot rate this hotel highly enough . My friend recommended this hotel to me and I am so glad I took her advice The team- I would give five stars (Pradeep in particular ) exceptional service ,always greeting me with a smile and organising a TUC TUC. Location was perfect in terms of access to main street Ella , it has a steep hill which didn't bother me personally. The views are out of this world and even when it rains it offers a cosy atmosphere . I was lucky enough to celebrate new years with the team and it was a really special day .thank you all , I will be back in the future

United KingdomPrices for laundry are a little steep, but it was done well and promptly.
This was one of our favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. The location is a short (albeit steep uphill/downhill) walk to the centre of Ella, and only 20 minutes walk to Little Adams Peak and the 9 Arch Bridge. The rooms aren't huge, and lack a fridge/TV, but they are clean and comfortable, and the incredible views and balcony are a treat. My boys loved the hammock and swing chair, although I didn't love the endless creakiness of them so much! The staff are super attentive, will go out of their way to help, and the food was some of the best we've had here. The breakfast buffet is especially plentiful and varied. The pool is great, although be prepared for it to be extra chilly as it is naturally fed! There is also a small children's play area too. Overall, we have and do recommend this hotel when staying in Ella.

United KingdomOne of the rooms had a bad smell so they had to be moved to another room for the first night which was a bit of a hassle.
The view was spectacular, the food was great, hammocks were an extra plus. Staff were really helpful and attentive. The apartment was amazing - great for big groups with a large open plan area for relaxing.

United KingdomThat we had to leave
I loved how the rooms were a good size with a big balancing and a hammock. The breakfast and food were great. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay at Zion and would recommend to anyone. There is quite a big hill to get to the hotel from Ella town, but tuktuks are quite cheap and can help you get there if needed.
