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.).

United KingdomWow. The name says it all. The view!!! Very clean, modern, and friendly staff. You are a 10 min drive from Ella itself but if you want tranquility this is your place. I wish we could have stayed here longer. The only criticism I would say is the pool itself was a bit tired and if you have a disability there are quite a few stairs.

United KingdomThe perfect stay. The views are incredible, the staff were so personable and kind, the room was clean and comfortable with a stunning balcony. The breakfast spread was delicious and lots of choice. We are SO glad we stayed here and not in Ella town, it’s an easy short tuktuk to all the attractions. One of our favourite stays we have ever had.

GermanyWonderful location and great views. The restaurant is good, too. We had a private cabin which was absolutely lovely. Great flowers everywhere and plenty of opportunities to go hiking right from the property. Minor point of improvement: The pool towels and the bed linen could have been cleaner.

This was an amazing hotel ! We spent 3 nights here . We wanted something quiet , away from the bustle of Ella.. and this place was perfect . The room was spacious & had a comfortable bed . We ate most of our meals in the restaurant ( which is a beautiful Balinese style open sided building with amazing views ) . The staff were so polite & friendly . They also had a lovely infinity pool . We had a driver who could take us where we wanted to go .. but you can use a tuk tuk . Highly recommended !

Fabulous hotel thankfully a few km out of Ella town (which is horrible), amazing views, wonderful breakfast, total peace and really wonderful staff in the restaurant. I was here for 2 nights and didn’t want to leave. Slept so peacefully and waking up to that view and the birds was such a joy.

AustraliaWe loved everything about our stay at Chill Ville. The unbelievable views from the pool and restaurant area, the Tuktuk service and our driver was a lovely guy and always there when you called. The room was large with a terrace looking out across the mountains, boiling hot shower which is rare. Beautiful gardens full of flowers, birds, squirrels and lizards. The staff were all great, from check in to the breakfast crew, especially Harsha who we had some good laughs with.

DenmarkWonderful location. Nice rooms with plenty of space for a family. The views from the pool and restaurant are fantastic. Location is a little bit of a drive from Ella (15 minutes in tuk tuk) but it rewards you with the most tranquil and nice place. Best breakfast I saw and enjoyed in our more than two weeks in Sri Lanka.

United KingdomSimply stunning. The staff, view, pool, rooms, food! Absolutely perfect stay. Wonderful to be out of hustle and bustle of Ella, yet a short tuk tuk away. The hotel is in a stunning location, fabulous views and rooms were incredible.. But it was the staff that made our 3 night stay even more outstanding, they were brilliant with our 11 year old son. Food choices were vast and all delicious. Special mention to Kaveesha whose service and gentle smile was the best we were lucky enough to receive in our 3 week visit to Sri Lanka. Thank you, would love to return one day .

Really amazing place just a 10-15 min tuktuk ride out of Ella in absolute tranquility. Very beautiful property which is more a botanical garden, beautiful rooms. Food was great - breakfast was the best we had during our Sri Lanka trip. Great staff which understands to accommodate all your needs and is also great with kids.

United KingdomThe top room was at the top of the hill so the wind kept us up a little at night but it's a small price to pay for the views. It is also slightly confusing who to pay for the hotel tuktuks - perhaps just needs to be explained beforehand as we weren't sure if this was to be paid at the end or after each journey. But it was a great service so hard to complain!
A beautifully located hotel with an absolutely stunning view over the mountains. We had an incredible room overlooking the hills. The staff were very lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend!
