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.).

United KingdomOnly slight negative was that if anything there was too much for breakfast, they kept bringing things out that we couldn’t eat, maybe should ask if we want them before they bring the food out
Everything was amazing, from the staff to the location, couldn’t have asked for more!

United KingdomAs others have said, it's up a steep hill. Our tuk tuk nearly didn't make it with two people and two suitcases! But it's fine to walk up and down without luggage.
Service was exceptional. We only stayed one night, to be close to the station for a 6:30am train. They packed us breakfast and drove us to the station themselves. The room was exquisite, with great facilities and an amazing view. We had some special requests that they dealt with without issue.

United KingdomClean, modern and spacious room with amazing view over Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak. Attentive staff who were always willing to help, even prepared us breakfast for an early morning hike. Good selection of breakfast, including both Western and Sri Lankan food. Location was close enough to the centre without the noise.

Breakfast was very good quality with a choice of continental or Sri Lankan breakfast. We had really great time here, it’s more than three stars! (Only a bar and some coctails are missing.😉)

Literally we loved everything in this charming hotel. Actually it is a 3 stars hotel but the service, the cleanliness and the service of this hotel was better than many 5 stars hotels we tried in Sri Lanka. The staff is very professional and polite, the rooms were super comfortable and clean, and the location is perfect in the heart of Ella. Not to forget the breakfast that was delicious with generous portions.

United KingdomWe stayed in 9 different properties in Sri Lanka during our stay. Every place had outstanding service and really friendly staff, but the staff at Hotel Onrock were the best of the best. Major thank you to Panduka, Chandika, Mavindu and Madhan, all of who were simply outstanding. This was the best level of service we had ever received and we simply can't wait to come back. The hotel is in a fantastic location and the breakfast was one of the best we had. Can't recommend this place enough.

AustraliaAmazing Hotel. The view from our room was breathtaking. We spent our second afternoon on the chairs admiring the view with a bottle of red from the minibar. Was a relaxing way to spend after a morning of hikes recommended by the staff. The breakfast was amazing, in fact it was too much food, so we shared just one Sri lankian style breakfast the next morning. You pay a little more than other spots, but in return you get clean and modern room with great views and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Ella is an amazing place to stay.

United KingdomOverall, our stay at the hotel was exceptional. The only drawback was the relatively small size of the bathroom. Additionally, there was a discrepancy in the currency we were charged, as we were expecting to pay in dollars as indicated on Booking.com but were instead billed in Sri Lanka currency. Despite these minor issues, our experience was overwhelmingly positive.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. It was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The room size was generous, providing a comfortable stay. Without a doubt, the breakfast surpassed all our expectations, ranking as the best we've had during our time in Sri Lanka! I wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The staff members were not only delightful but also incredibly helpful, enhancing our overall enjoyment of the stay.
