Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandAs others have said, the room is even nicer than on the pictures! It is stylishly designed and well-thought out, huge bathroom, comfy bed, sofa area, fridge, kettle. I particularly liked the mood lighting. It is like having your own private bungalow with a fantastic covered terrace where you can relax and have breakfast in the morning. Delicious and bountiful breakfast! Highly recommended for a cozy stay outside of the main strip.

PortugalLocations: Although it’s not within walking distance of Ella’s city centre, we found the location perfect. You’re surrounded by greenery, away from the busy tourist area, yet still close to it (15min. by tuk-tuk or motorbike) and with all the essentials near to you — a few restaurants (we recommend Honey Cafe), a mini market, and a motorbike rental (you can rent one directly with the owner by a fair price). The public bus to Ella also stops at your door.
Owner: The owner is absolutely lovely and always willing to help. Communication was super easy via WhatsApp — quick, friendly, and efficient. Room: Very spacious and beautifully decorated — you can really feel that everything was made with care and love. The bed was super comfortable, and the sheets were clean and fresh. There’s no AC, just a small fan, but you honestly don’t need it — the air is naturally cool and fresh thanks to the location in the middle of nature. The room also includes a mini fridge and a kettle for tea, coffee, or snacks. Bathroom: Large, clean, and well-equipped with everything you might need — toiletries (soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner), hair dryer, towels, and great hot water pressure. Balcony: Our favourite spot 🤩 — spacious, peaceful, and equipped with a table and chairs, perfect for relaxing in the middle of nature. Breakfast: Simply amazing — both in quality and quantity! You’ll get to try a variety of delicious Sri Lankan dishes, lovingly prepared by the owner’s mother. Other: Room cleaning is available upon request. Wi-Fi worked well both inside and outside the room.

SpainThis was the most beautiful room we have stayed in during our time in Sri Lanka. Everything was so well thought out, such a comfortable bed and the view from the balcony and the room was just stunning! We were very happy about the calm and peaceful location. Kavy was very keen on accommodating and helping us and offered rides when needed. The breakfast was great as well! We loved the juices made fresh from Kavy's own grown fruits. We also stopped by at his sister's Café, what a sweet and welcoming family! We would stay here again anytime.

Czech RepublicIn time of our stay, there wasn't any sign at the street, where the accommodation is. But just call owner through WhatsApp and he will guide you or pick you up :-) You are very close to the nature and there are windows with just grill on them (without glass) so it can be a little noisy with all the jungle sounds during nighttime.
It was a gem found during our stay in Srí Lanka and by far the best accommodation we've had. Everything is brand new, clean, nice smelling, spacious, all the equipment is new and the room is very cosy with beautiful view from terrace . And again - it was the cleanest accommodation we've had. Pictures on booking.cz don't lie. Breakfast is luxurious, with variety of fruits, fresh juice, tea, coffee, traditional Srí Lankan breakfast, egg omelette as you can see in pictures :-) Owners are very kind and more than pleased to help you with anything! If you are worried about location, don't be, it's not so far from town centre and they have tuk-tuk so you can arrange pick-up and drop off in the town without concerns!
