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.).

Sri LankaEntrance Stairway was steep & a little difficult to climb down if you have knee pain! Definitely difficult if you have luggage to carry but the staff helped to carry them. Breakfast could improve a little! No options were available. Had to take what they offerred. We got fruit, eggs, toast & pancakes! Pancakes were not very well done! Should have given at least 1 item more (maybe sausages)! It's a little bit of walk to Ella Centre! Rs.500/= for a Tuk Ride. Staff arranged Tuks for us at our request.
Nice View! Rooms & bathrooms were clean. Beds were very comfortable. Staff were very nice & cordial. Helped us with luggage, arranged Tuks for us & recomnended a good restaurant in Ella centre for us to have Dinner.

The best views around - Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock, Small Rawana Waterfall. The place is clean, tidy, the upper floor built recently - new and fresh. A great staff - helpful and professional. Prianti (I hope, I put his name correctly) assistance was great. Some said, the access is a bit steep to the place. We did not find it to be a problem, since the staff helped to carry the luggage. Great breakfast, a wildlife around (different birds). 5 minutes by tuktuk to/from town center. A perfect place to stay in Ella.

Amazing value for money with an absolutely spectacular view! All the staff were SO lovely from arrival to departure and were accomodating to any requests. The rooms are pretty basic (clean and comfortable) but why you stay here is for the amazing view both from your own balcony and the shared restaurant/lounge area. Would highly recommend!

When we first walked onto the patio we were completely speechless (and spent many mornings & afternoon sipping tea & enjoying the view). The staff were so friendly & very helpful with arranging vehicles to town & other activities. If you are going to Ella, you MUST stay here!

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't really like, I would just be aware that there are around 15-20 steps down to the hotel and therefore if you are unable to go up or down stairs then this may not be for you however the owners may have another access that we did not know about.
First thing to memtion was that there is only one word for the view from this place - incredible. It really does look like the pictures. The location is also great, a short 5 minute Tuk Tuk ride to the main street. One of the great things here is the staff are all nice however a special mention and thanks has to go to Prianta. He was always very happy and smiling and was a mine of good information on where to go and what to see. He always tried to help and accomodate us and for that we are grateful. If you decide to eat at the hotel I would highly recommemd the rotti/roll, it was easily one of the best thinga we had in Sri Lanka. The room was also very comfortable with a good shower, mosquito nets and amazing views over the valleys. There was no AC however at this elevation there was no need for it. If you need it, the hotel can also arrange trips to see the main things around Ella and can give you a TukTuk ride to the centre for a small fee. Overall, a highly enjoyable stay and would definately recommend it to others if staying in Ella.
