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.).

Czech RepublicThe smell in the room. I think that we get a smaller room than we booked here in Booking. The taxi driver couldn’t drive us to the apartment because of the steep road, so we had to walk with our luggages.
Location, the guy who accomodate us, the garden and privacy.

Very spacious, clean and light apartment with a nice big bed and a good shower! The owner is very helpful and does his best to make us feel comfortable. Also very cheap. Very close to all the restaurants and bars, but you don't hear that in the room. Best stay in Sri Lanka so far!

Absolutely perfect! The best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka!! The room was so light, spacious and clean, the bed was huge and comfortable, the bathroom was big and spotless - really lovely hot powerful shower. Lovely outside garden area to sit in. Location was perfect quiet and peaceful yet literally just 2 mins walk down a hill to the centre of Ella you can’t really get any closer. Would 1000% recommend here if you are staying in Ella!!

RussiaThe apartments located in the city center, few minutes uphill (be ready if you go there by foot with the luggage). The room is pretty old but it was clean, good pressure hot water. They give you a synthetic blanket but we asked for a white sheets and immediately got it. The staff, as everywhere where I’ve been in Sri Lanka is absolutely hospitable and hearty.

EstoniaWe had some small ants in the room but the host provided the anti-ant spray and we didn't see any after that. The mosquito net smelled pretty bad, so we didn't use it, but we didn't have any mosquitoes in the room anyway.
Ella Touch has an excellent location. You can access all the restaurants and shops on the main street by foot (3-5 min walk), yet it is far enough from the center so that you get a quiet atmosphere. But be aware that you walk up and down the hill. The room was nice and clean. The host also provided additional bed sheets on our request.
