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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

PolandWe stayed at Wild Resort Ella for two nights as a family of four with two children. Our host, Kumara, was one of the kindest and most genuine people we met in Sri Lanka. He made our time in the Ella area truly beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you, Kumara, for your warm hospitality and for guiding us to the best places to visit around Ella. Our stay was simply perfect. For us, it’s nothing less than 10 out of 10.

UkraineHowever, the soundproofing could be improved — at night I could hear a lot of noise from outside, which made it difficult to sleep. There are also early morning ceremonies that may wake you up if you’re a light sleeper. In addition, the outdoor light switch was poorly insulated and gave me an electric shock. Please be careful — we reported this issue to the staff.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The view from the dining hall was beautiful, the staff were friendly and polite, the view by the pool was amazing, and the breakfast was very good. During lunch we even saw chipmunks, which was a lovely surprise. In the evening, we ordered tea and relaxed by the pool — such a pleasant experience. We were also allowed to use a drone directly from the hotel grounds.

United KingdomA fantastic hotel with even better staff. Tucked a little out of the way but only a short tuktuk ride into town (5 minutes), this hotel gives a great base to explore the area. The pool is small but lovely and the views breathtaking. Rooms are comfortable. Only (very slight) downside would be the bathroom - ours was basic but clean and functional which, when you think about it, is all you need. Staff are beyond helpful, even driving us to town when we struggled to get transport due to the new year holidays. The included breakfast was great. An absolute gem of a place.

DenmarkAmazing little gem just 5 minutes outside of the Main Street of Ella in a tuk tuk. Very attentive staff who helped arrange trips and made sure we had what we needed. They had their own tuk tuk and could bring us to town and on trips for fair prices. We paid 500 rs for a ride to town. Breakfast was very nice. Weather in Ella is colder same as in Kandy, meaning it’s nice but the pool is also chilly. Our room was nice and well decorated. Good beds!

GermanyEverything was perfect
Wild Resort was the best hotel we booked on our Route around the Island. The Room was very clean and comfortable. But the best at the location was the two guys we spent our time with. The Cooker Kurama and his colleague were really polite and helpful. We spent every evening with them and got the best food on our journey. We spoke a lot about the habits and had the chance to learn a lot about Sri Lanka. Ella is a town you should definitely stay minimum 3 nights, better would be 4-5 night. There is so much to discover and the hotel with that little pool in the little of nature (there is a big rice field in front) is beautiful. There is not that much tourism. What I also want to recommend is the cooking class we did with Kumara. We learned a lot about the Sri Lanka cooking habits and had a great time. definitely we would book that place again!!!

United KingdomA great little resort to stay at! The staff were so accommodating and lovely, especially with helping us when our rented tuk tuk was experiencing some difficulty. The food was also great! We happened to get unlucky with lots of rain so we only had a quick dip in the pool, but can imagine on a nice sunny hot day that the pool is perfect! Rooms had everything you needed and were comfortable. You can also spot some cute friendly animals whilst staying here :)
