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 regions, 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.).

Location is in the middle of the forest, you can enjoy sounds coming out. Owner is kind, always prepared to help. Breakfast was delicious. Five minutes walking to the centre. Parking available, but is an adrenaline ride car ride to the property.

AustraliaIt’s a steep drive or walk in or out. There is a short cut into town via some steps, but still a bit of a hike.
The room was lovely and the breakfast was great. Beautiful views. Watching cheeky monkeys and mongoose from the balcony. Fridge in room was very appreciated.

The views are fantastic. The shortcut through the valley walking along a path is like stepping back in time. Just lovely. The terrace area is beautiful with constant entertainment of the monkeys in the trees. ( most well behaved monkeys ever!). Very reasonable price from the son for a tour of the surrounding area and the amazing sights. Small Adam’s peak was a 45 minute hike from the property. Fabulous sunrise.

IrelandGreat family run guest house - very close to the centre of Ella (within walking distance) Owner was very friendly and helpful in showing us a route to the Ella rock walk. Mosquito nets were provided over the bed which were useful as you are down a little raveen close to a lot of trees so bugs are inevitable. Very peaceful and enjoyable stay.

GermanyI loved the stay! The place is really cozy, has a great view on the nature and the owners do everything for you. They were helping me with shortcuts to get to the city, scooter rent, train, and invited me to food and tea. The room was clean, with warm blankets for colder nights, a biig mirror (first time in any location in Sri Lanka for me) and towels. It was possible to open the window to let in the beautiful fresh air. Definitely recommended!

United KingdomThe location was a bit out of town and we needed a tuc tuc to get back and go out. The property is located at the bottom of a steep hillside and our driver couldn’t drive down there. Even one tuc tuc driver asked us to walk a bit. However the sound and view of nature made us forget all of that.
The view from our bedroom was really nice. We saw monkeys, birds and one night our balcony was lit with fireflies. It was magic. The sound of nature made us forget everything else. Breakfast was very good. The owners are extremely kind.

United KingdomMeh walk to get to in the dark… ceiling in the bathroom is getting a bit rundown
Quiet and tucked away but only a 6-8 minute walk to the main town (albeit a bit hilly). Raveena and her family were amazing. Breakfast delicious. Great views. Cozy room with a warm blanket (you need it at night in Ella). Could walk from the door of the guesthouse to the top of Little Adam’s peak in 50 minutes and then loop to nine arches bridge.
