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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 rooms were very clean and spacious with a beautiful view. The staff were so friendly and accommodated all of our needs, with Piryantha making us fresh coconut sambal on request, he never said no to anything we requested!! We had deliciously fresh breakfasts. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Ella!

SpainWe really enjoyed our stay at Hive View. The place has amazing views and a very peaceful atmosphere, perfect to relax for a few days. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Piriyantha, who took really good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious and very generous, and we also loved our room with a private terrace – it was clean, comfortable, and a great spot to enjoy the view. We would definitely recommend Hive View if you’re looking for a quiet and scenic place to stay in the area.

SwitzerlandThis wasn’t an issue for us as we were mostly exploring the area but there is some construction ongoing during the day which can at times be noisy. But the staff was super proactive / friendly about it and even stopped some loud work while we had an afternoon tea. Also the work should be finished in the next months!
We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The view was great, the staff and service was amazing and the breakfast was delicious! The hotel is also in a great starting location for hikes while the town is also not far away (reachable within 15min via the railroad tracks).

IndiaThe parking was not good. Restaurant was not fully functioning due to unavailability of chefs. Room TV was not working. Hotel is not adjacent to road side and needs to take stairs to reach the hotel
The view from the room is exceptional and the breakfast very delicious. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThis hotel was down a little flight of stairs between some buildings so a bit precarious to get to but 100% worth it for the view! Incredibly stunning! The staff were helpful and carried our luggage up and down the stairs when checking in and out. Breakfast was substantial with the restaurant looking out over the mountains. Staff do a good job of keeping the monkeys away while you’re eating. The rooms were clean and spacious enough with aircon or fan options. A good location - we walked 20mins down the hill to the train tracks which you can follow along to Ella Train Station or further along to the Nine Arch Bridge.
