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.).

IsraelDespite minor issues with hot water and air conditioning in our room, the attentive staff and overall positive experience made our stay memorable. We would recommend this hotel to families seeking a relaxing getaway with great food and amenities.
Our stay at Zion View Ella was enjoyable overall. The hotel caters well to families with amenities like a kids' playground, swimming pool, and children's corner with games. The location is serene, just a short tuk-tuk ride from the city center.We found the hotel to have a good restaurant offering tasty breakfasts,as well as delicious lunch and dinner options. We appreciated the excellent services provided, including the children's club and convenient laundry service.

FranceWe loved the hotel - to be objective: there is a good hill to access the hotel (take a tuktuk) and it is built on the montain so for everyone to get a view, there are some stairs. The room are in "enfilade" so your neighbours might need to pass in front of your room to access theirs (we did not even notice when people passed by).
The hotel is perfectly located with a direct view on Ella Rock. It s 5 min walking distance from everything you want in the city center. The service was impeccable and the food very tasty. We loved the breakfast (fresh tea, pancakes, eggs, fruits, sri lankan food as well) and the food in general (curry ordered for dinner was excellent). You can do yoga classes, massages, access the pool, enjoy your balcony. We recommend 100%.

Lovely stay at the Zion hotel! The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, especially the hotel manager and the reception staff. The chefs at breakfast were lovely too, as was the delicious food. The views from this hotel are insane!! A very special place. Great location (2 mins up the hill from Ella town), and close to all the main sights. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. We also did the yoga and a massage here (extra charge but good price) which were both enjoyed! Would highly recommend!

NetherlandsNice room but quite small for a family of 4. We found that the price compared to other places was a bit exaggerated. But we really did enjoy the hotel, the pool and the food, nothing specific to complain about.
We loved the pool facing the mountains, the restaurant terrace facing the mountains and the delicious brunch with lot of choice. Nice kids corner and your own hangmat.

United StatesThe only thing to note is that the balcony’s of the rooms are open to one another- no one used the balcony as a corridor- but it never felt totally private. To walk around your room you’d have to close every blind and shutter.
