How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewMy Husband and I had a fantastic stay at Tea Hills Ella — the views were stunning and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful. The room was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. I especially appreciated the friendly and attentive staff who went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The complimentary shuttle service was a big plus — convenient, punctual, and made getting around stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in nature with great service!

Verified reviewThe view is superb! The staff are extremely friendly and kind. They are available for any need and do their best to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. The property is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Breakfast is excellent, both in portion size and quality.
The accommodation is in a very beautiful location, although it can only be reached by tuk tuk. The property provides an efficient free shuttle service from 8 am to 9 pm. Outside these hours, the service can be easily arranged with the property at a minimal cost.

Verified reviewBeautiful accommodation and a friendly, helpful owner! We felt very comfortable. Very clean room, very comfortable bed, and a beautiful view! The ride to the hotel was an adventure in itself; it's amazing what tuktuk drivers can do. The free tuktuk service to and from the city center was so nice. The only thing that bothered us was some loud work/noise outside beginning around 7am in the morning. Depart from that it was really quiet, and all we could hear was just nature! We can recommend this hotel to everyone, we really enjoyed our stay :)

Verified reviewA peaceful retreat outside of Ella with incredible views. Complimentary Tuk Tuk rides to and from the accommodation were brilliant and were very easy to organise. Good WiFi if you needed to work. Great breakfast over looking the hills in the morning with all the staff being incredibly kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
Nothing.

Verified reviewIncredible breakfast and staff, amazing view of the mountains and the room was equipped with everything that may have been needed.
The location was in a beautiful spot but could be hard to find at night due to being about 10minutes out of the main town. Although they did offer complimentary tuk tuk services, the roads in and out of Tea Hills were very steep.

Verified reviewThe views are just amazing. The way down the stay is a little off road, hard way about 500m but worth it. Room was clean and super comfortable.

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful location, and I really liked the design of the hotel with all rooms looking out over the beautiful view. Breakfast on the balcony was an extra special treat, and I loved the cool breeze you get in the hills. Staff were also friendly and helpful.
The location is quite far from Ella town centre, but the free tuktuk shuttle helps and the view makes up for it!

Verified reviewThe view is amazing. The hotel is brand new and thr hosts are amazing. It is a bir far from the main road, but it means you have silence and can relax, plus the view is great being on top of the hills. The free shuttle to the town and from the town everytime you need it is amazing. The host even prepared take-away breakfast for us because we left very early in the morning. Would recommend 100% to stay here if you are coming to Ella.
Everything was great.

Verified reviewThis has been an amazing stay for us. The place is so clean and spacious and the views are just spectacular. More than what we expected. Staff were so hospitable and accommodated our every request, even helping us to organise a last minute trip to Nuwara Eliya. We feel so lucky to have stumbled across this place, and at such a great price too!

Verified reviewEverything was perfect, from the room to the view and the breakfast.
Just keep in mind you will need a tuktuk to reach the location (not accessible by car). The hotel arranges that for free between 8AM and 8PM. Also no AC but it wasn't a problem as it is very cool in Ella.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the views, peaceful atmosphere, and breakfast. Just a quick note, the free tuk-tuk shuttle is available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, not 8:00 PM. We hope to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, Tea Hills Ella Team
