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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Everything was phenominal from the charming staff to the extensive breakfast to the charming bungalow rooms. The location and that view blew my mind, if I could have stayed looking at it forever I would have. The manager can help organise any activities you want in the area which is amazing but I reccomend saving a bit of time to just sit and gaze out into the mountains.

Beautiful views, secluded rooms, and exceptional staff. Great breakfast with homemade cakes, jams, breads, and a eggs chef. What more could you ask for so close to Ella! With no A/C the rooms are naturally cool with fans provided. Would highly recommend and love to come back

United KingdomCleanliness could have been better and although property is well maintained, they chose to undertake maintenance on our bathroom during our stay resulting in a small leak in the toilet. Maybe just teething as it’s the start of the busy season. Given the good value for money and view we would still consider staying again.
Staff extremely helpful and hospitable. Excellent view. Well sized room with large very comfortable bed. Good value for money. A little out of Ella but this definitely adds to the charm and experience and it easy & quick to get a tuktuk into the town.

My recent stay at Chill Ville, View Point Hotel in Ella, Sri Lanka, was nothing short of extraordinary. The defining highlight of this charming retreat was the exceptional service provided by Manager Sharma and his team. Their warm, welcoming demeanor and readiness to go above and beyond truly set this hotel apart, making it stand out even among the numerous luxury hotels I've visited worldwide. The panoramic mountain views from the hotel are simply breathtaking. Waking up to such a majestic sight right from your bed is an experience that words can barely do justice. The rooms, while unassuming in their simplicity, offer everything one needs for a comfortable stay, emphasizing the natural beauty outside. Culinary delights were a daily treat, with breakfasts offering a delightful mix of Western and Sri Lankan options. Dinners were a gastronomic adventure, undoubtedly serving some of the best food I've experienced in Sri Lanka. It's no wonder that this was my second visit to this enchanting country, with places like Chill Ville being a significant reason for my return. In terms of value, it's a resounding 10/10. Although the hotel is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the town center, this seclusion is one of its best features. Convenient transportation options like taxis or tuk-tuks are readily available and just a quick ride away from the local attractions. Bonus is cheap set price to these locations. In summary, Chill Ville, View Point Hotel is a serene haven, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with world-class service and stunning natural beauty. It's a place that not only meets expectations but exceeds them, ensuring that each visit is a memorable one.

The view is amazing from the rooms and the restaurant - perfect place to have breakfast in the morning. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay from arranging transport, half day tours, late breakfast etc. Service was the best we experienced in Sri Lanka

Ella is busy so staying outside the centre was definitely the right decision. The location is great with amazing landscape views. The room was spacious, and the food was very good. Very good value overall.
