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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThe breakfast was so-so (the eggs weren't great), but probably our fault for ordering a western breakfast. I suspect if we'd ordered the Sri Lankan breakfast (which requires pre-orderong the day before) it would have been delicious.
The rooftop with its deckchairs and hammocks is second to none - the view is out of this world. The staff are lovely. The room was clean and well equipped.

United KingdomNot a negative but be aware it is a 2 min steep hike up to the guesthouse, but you should be in Ella for hiking anyway
Amazing rooftop with a surreal view of Ella gap. Close to the main road but far enough that you dont hear all the traffic. Staff is super friendly. Rooms are good.

PolandClothes after laundry were very wrinkled and coated
View from the roof top was awesome. Highly recommend to watch there sunset or sunrise. The upstairs rooms were very clean also with a nice view. The bathroom was nice. The lady told us about worth seeing places in Ella and many tips. I’ve seen some reviews of people telling that the rooms are not clean and the bathroom is bad but our experience is totally different. All was clean and without any bugs.

AustraliaThe guesthouse is located up a steep hill (but the bonus is the incredible views).
Really nice guest house with exceptional hosts. We were given a map of the local sites and information on how to visit each place. The host drove us to the station as our bags were too big to walk.

The facilities were great and we loved having a cold drink on the sunset terrace enjoying the spectacular view. It was near the centre of Ella which was so convenient. When we checked in the host gave us a hand drawn map of the area with all the key sights on it. He also helped us save money by explaining how to use the local bus to access the waterfalls rather than hire tuk tuks.

New ZealandThere was no AC, only a fan. The wifi stopped working for an afternoon but not a major problem. You also have to pay in cash which we didn't realise until checking out.
Great location close to the main shops and cafes in Ella, although you do have to walk up a short but steep hill. Comfortable beds and a lovely view from our room, would recommend!

New ZealandThe shower pressure was very weak. I would have preffered an AC over the fan in the room, but it wasn't a major.
The room was very spacious and comfy, I loved the fact that it had a fridge which was super handy to keep drinks cold! The location and the terrace are gorgeous. Bit of a steep walk up to get there from main road but it's totally worth it!

The host was really polite and welcoming. The room had scissors and nail cutter which I think was really thoughtful and cute.
