Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

FranceEverything was perfect: the isolated place in the jungle with a river, the perfect service and breakfast and the luxurious cabana. You also can do nice hiking from the place.

ItalyThe cabin is a bit secluded and a 20 minutes drive from Ella town, however the staff went above and beyond to help us get everywhere!
The cabin is amazing. We had the best breakfast of the whole trip here.

FranceNothing. Everyone should make a stop to this hotel!
We had a lovely stay in the middle of the jungle, away from Ella crowded city center. The host was so kind and arrange everything to make our stay even better. Spending time on the terrasse, by the sound of the waterfall, was great and breakfast was delicious. Bravo for this hotel !

ItalyThe Jungle Cabin is a magical place. Everything about our stay was truly wonderful. Falling asleep and waking up to the sound of water and birds felt like a dream. The natural beauty surrounding the house is breathtaking, and what really made it unforgettable was the house itself: beautiful, spotless, and full of thoughtful details. Breakfast with a view was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care and love. And Dilshan’s kindness and warmth are beyond words. We will carry this place in our hearts forever. Highly recommended!

TunisiaOne of the most beautiful and emotional experiences of my life. The Jungle Cabin Ella is not just a place to stay — it’s a place that touches your soul. Nestled in breathtaking nature, the cabin is modern, spotless, and designed with such care… but what makes this place truly unforgettable are the owners. They are exceptional human beings — full of kindness, generosity, and warmth. From the smallest gestures to the biggest acts of care, they made me feel like family. I’ve never met people so genuinely good, so attentive, so giving… They looked after every detail with love, and their presence alone is enough to make you want to stay forever. Leaving was heartbreaking. I left with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart, because you don’t just leave a place like this — you leave a piece of your heart behind. And the breakfast? It’s not just food — it’s a gift. Made with love, full of flavor, and shared with a smile. Thank you for everything. This wasn’t just a stay. It was a moment of life I’ll cherish forever. If you ever go to Ella, don’t miss this place. It’s pure magic.
An absolute hidden gem ❤️! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings — a peaceful natural setting with a cabin that’s modern, beautifully designed, and spotlessly clean. But what truly made our stay unforgettable were the owners: incredibly kind-hearted, thoughtful, and attentive to every little detail. They were always there to help, listen, and make sure we felt at home. Their generosity touched us deeply — leaving this place literally brought tears to our eyes and a broken heart. And let’s not forget the breakfast: absolutely delicious, generous, and made with so much love. Thank you for everything — this was a magical stay we’ll never forget. I truly recommend this place with all my heart 💚🌿

PakistanA beautiful cabin on top of a water stream surrounded by thick forest. Takes you into the jungle with just the right feeling of being in the wild with safety. It is run by a family, the three brothers took great care in ensuring that our stay was comfortable and that we could easily move back and forth from the jungle to Ella. It was a pleasant walk away from the Nine arch bridge. The breakfast was exceptional. I loved the place and would definitely want people to enjoy the wilderness.

The host arranged transport whenever we wanted, at a reasonable price! Really nice location close to the bridge, perfect to escape the busy tourist areas. Cosy and romantic place where you can come to rest and enjoy Ella. Amazing breakfast too! Don't miss this when visiting the area.
