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.).

United KingdomRoad to property quite tricky and didn't take our car down. Owner arranged a tuk tuk to transport our bags and found us somewhere to park. It was worth it for the views! Watch out for leeches on path to town.
Staff were so helpful, breakfast is amazing. Views from room stunning.

Germanywe had lovely two nights and a wonderful time in ella. had a great breakfast at the hotel and a beautiful view of ella rock. our room had a mosquito net, which was very useful. staff was very helpful and happy 😊 unfortunately both mornings we were woken at around 7:00 due to cleaning noises (vibrating metal railings hit by broom) and loud music from the kitchen. beware the leeches on the footway shortcut to the main road, they really like to climb your feet (protection by long trousers put inside socks!)

Everything was fine. We made reservation in the same day but room was clean. Really good staff and breakfast. The location is perfect! We had ~ 1km do city centre. Not far away to Ella rock and little Adam’s peak. The most important is the view! Amazing! 🤩

AustraliaWe were on the top level & the room got very hot in the afternoon. Our fan didn't work very well, but they rustled up another one for us as soon as we asked. And it certainly cooled down overnight!
Superb location, an easy walk to the main street via a shortcut, and the view was spectacular. Really friendly & helpful staff. Breakfast was really good & they went out of their way to accommodate dietary requirements (no gluten). If you're after a relaxed meal, away from the hustle & bustle of the main street, they also serve dinner. They were very helpful too with sightseeing tips & arranging drivers when needed. The photos of the view & the restaurant area don't do justice to just how good it is!! We would stay here again!!

NetherlandsThe lighting in the bathroom is not great. If you need to trim your beard, like I do, the light is inadequate. The floor of the bathroom also gets wet when showering, so I recommend to do showering last in your morning routine. The floor does dry up quite quickly though. The biggest issue I had with this property is that the doors to the balcony are thin and don't seal tightly. Which means, that insects and noise do get in. Even though the main road is on the other side of the valley, car engines and honks can be heard during the night. There is no AC but it cools off enough after sunset. It will take a couple of hours to get the heat out of the room though. To me this was not so much of a problem.
Great location. Lots to see within walkable distance. Ella centre with its amenities within a 10 minute walking distance. Great staff. They are happy to help. I appreciated the breakfast. It was adequate with toast, rice, fruit and better than expected coffee. You can get drinks at the restaurant area and bring them up to your balcony. After a sightseeing tour in the morning, there is nothing like a cold beer on your own balcony! The room and bathroom are of a good size. They are clean and the linen is clean as well. The mattress is sturdy which I like.

United KingdomThe driveway down to the property is best suited to a mountain goat, rather than a regular saloon car/taxi!! The bathroom was very dark and the shower flooded the entire bathroom (not uncommon in Sri Lanka)
The view from the dining area and bedrooms of Ella Rock is beautiful. We had a very spacious room with a very large bed. However the pillows were a bit solid! All the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
