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...).

GeorgiaThe rooms and bathrooms could have more lighting and a lack of a mirror in bedrooms could be fixed. Also the A-la carte menu for dinner could be improved with more pictures and page numbers.
The hotel is located on top of one of the several hilly ranges that Ella has to offer. Therefore the views from every room is one of the best in the area. The staff are also very helpful and kind especially during the morning breakfast as they always want to tend to whatever your needs are. The breakfast is also a major positive at this hotel as they have a wide variety of local fruits and a amazing local cuisine. The hotel is also taking a great green initiative by using metal straws, glass bottles and even running an waste water treatment plant thereby conserving water. The owner was also very helpful as he dropped us off at the station when we left.

LithuaniaIt’s a bit further away from the main dining and drinking area in Ella, but the view is totally worth it. Ideally we would have liked a staff member present at the pool bar - but perhaps we were there a bit too early.
The property offers a wonderful view including a waterfall in the distance. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. The hammock is a nice touch. The breakfast is also good. While the pool is not very big it’s perfect for a refreshing dip after a hike or sun lounging .

United KingdomThe view from the hammock on the balcony is one I’ll never forget and was sad to say goodbye to ! The staff very great and the breakfast was really nice - I particularly liked the egg hoppers and tea station. However, the room itself was slightly tired and the bed linen was a bit grubby which let things down. Overall an enjoyable stay.

United KingdomThe room was small and basic for the price. Bedding very poor, discoloured sheets and old foist smelling blanket. No wardrobe or drawers, just a few clothes hangers and hooks on the wall. Only 1 500ml bottle of water per day between 2 people. Old green towels for the shower and 1 horrendous tiny blue hand towel. air conditioning very temperamental, WiFi in the room very patchy, better at the reception. Room cleaning wasn't always done, even when requested, which meant wet gross towels and no toilet paper. There was a lot of rain in Ella and the room always felt damp. Maybe we were unlucky but we felt our room was not as expected for the price. A shame as there were other nice features about the hotel.
Fantastic views from the balcony and breakfast terrace, good breakfast with lots of options, very friendly helpful staff, courtesy shuttle from the train station, good pool.
