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.).

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!

A group of us stayed here and it was absolutely amazing! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic, rooms are spacious and clean. The pool is the perfect size and with the stunning view we saw deer and lots of other wildlife while having a morning swim. I would definitely recommend staying here!

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 :)

The resort is a bit outside of town but just a short TUK TUK ride away, so this wasn’t a problem for us. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was also great to have a fridge inside our room.

The whole were very welcoming and helpful to any requests. Wild resort had its own tuk tuks that could bring you into central Ella. We extended the Little Adam’s peak walk to include the 9 Arches bridge and walk along railway tracks back to Ella station. We had a cooking lesson making pourris and other bits which was informative and fun- will try at home! The balcony has a great view of the monastery at the top of the hill.

IndiaThe property is a bit small and so are the rooms and the pool. But that doesn’t take away from everything else which is amazing.
The property is beautiful! It has the most relaxing view of the forest. Set within a quiet and serene surrounding- wild resort is a great place to switch off and relax. 5-7 min drive from the main city area- it is lovely to come back to. The staff is very warm, welcoming and friendly. We had a very good time and will definitely go back .

Where to start! This property was amazing, the first and most notable was the staff there, who were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. They really went above and beyond and even helped us with our Tuktuk problems! The place was beautiful, the view was amazing and the pool was a little paradise! Rooms were all clean and well kept. Would recommend this to anyone travelling. 2 mins drive to Ella and the staff offer lifts too. They cooked for us on the first night and always made sure we had a drink and were always smiling. Thank you all!

United KingdomAs with other reviews the water pressure isn’t a downpour but definitely good enough to wash soap out of long hair and always hot. The bungalow was a generous size but can be slightly tight with big bags. Would recommend to add a shelf above the sink in the bathroom but not a necessity just would be an added bonus
Wow what an amazing place to stay so close to Ella. Made up of only 4 rooms (2 bungalows and 2 family rooms) you really get such a personal touch to service. We stayed in the bungalow in front of the pool and loved sitting out on the patio watching the birds go by. Kumari the amazing chef / front of house was always on hand for any help as well as the fantastic owner who was quick to take us into Ella during bad weather. The definite high was the cooking class which was really thoughtfully planned. Can’t recommend enough
