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.).

ThailandFront door without curtain, I find it's bit less privacy. Water leak in bathroom should be fixed for this price villa.
The overall villa is nice and comfortable. Breakfast is very nice prepared. Staff are very well taking care of us even before our stay with all communication. Extra bonus is the available driver of the villa that could ask for service is super on point and safe driver.

IsraelOne small thing - the shower does not close properly so a lot of the water ends on the floor around it.
Excellent place. The best accommodation we encountered in two weeks of travel. Cosy, clean, great view of the town and mountains around. Great shower and bath tub. Excellent breakfast. The manager was very helpful and accommodating.

United KingdomNothing, everything was excellent!
The villa was modern, spotlessly clean and had all the facilities you needed. I wish we had stayed longer but was heading to Ella the next day. It was a great place for us to relax with the children after a very busy few days! Like home from home. The staff as soon as we arrived were so very welcoming, collecting our luggage a few meters down the road as it is steep! The owner couldn't do enough for us, he ordered us a take away and arranged a tuk tuk to collect it for us, nothing was too much trouble. It was my sons birthday and at breakfast they brought balloons and a lovely cake, little touches like this made our staff very memorable and we couldn't recommend this stay enough. The views are lovely. It was misty and raining but cleared enough for us to see the beauty. Thank you for a wonderful stay for my family. The bed was the most comfortable we had stayed in throughout our travels in Sri Lanka and lovely to have multiple pillows! Thanks again! We even got a lovely little gift upon check out which was a lovely personal touch! Visa card accepted.

The property was far more modern than we expected. It was spotlessly clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We arrived late afternoon and left early on the morning as we were getting the train to Ella, so we had a night in to enjoy what the property had to offer. Breakfast was delivered to the property in the morning, made up of fresh fruit,yoghurt, bread for toast and jam, and freshly cooked omelette. More than enough for our 3 hour train journey! Just wish we had a little more time to enjoy the bath and the amazing views x

GermanyIt is a bit away from the city center, but with a TukTuk super okay. However, with being away from the city, you get a relaxing environment. I guess in the center, you don’t want to stay anyways, since it’s busy, crowded, loud and not nice.
The hotel has some maisonett villas, with living room, kitchen and toilet downstairs, and two double beds and a big bath upstairs. It looks like on Fotos. It was the best room we stayed in Sri Lanka and worth the money. Super comfortable beds, nice interior and great views. The property manager is super polite, prompt and helpful. You can easily get in touch via WhatsApp and he also arranged the tuktuk to go into a nice restaurant. Breakfast will be served in the room. I would always book it again and send my best wishes to the team of Luxe Wilderness

Hand down one of the BEST hotels ive stayed in Sri Lanka. I have stayed in many hotels across the world and this one stands out as truly amazing. A hidden gem. Firstly the property is immaculate! Clean and beautiful! The scenery is breathtaking, we couldnt stop taking videos of it from the balcony, the garden and inside. Bathroom is huge, overlooking the scenery. Fresh flowers in bathroom and dining table. It smells very nice as soon as you walk in. Location is very convenient. But what has trully blown us away is the service. The staff are on another level. Firstly they message you with information before you even reach. Once u reach you receive royalty treatment with a smile! Shameera is always available to help, assisted us in ordering food and arranged to light a bonfire for us in the garden with blankets. We enjoyed the stars and warm fire, very cosey. They even gave us a special surprise at the end of our stay. I honestly wish i could stay longer and will definitely return. It is worth every penny.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay! The location was super quiet, and the terrace offered immaculate views of the town, where we spent a lot of our time. The bath with a view was a big highlight. The owners were exceptional, providing tips on food, organising taxis, accommodating a later checkout, and arranging pick-up from the station—they truly went above and beyond. The breakfast spread was fantastic! We found it hard to find places to stay here, so this is a must stay. Just around 10 minute tuk tuk to the town

This place is even better than the photos. It’s a two story villa with a well equipped kitchen, upstairs bedroom with views forever, and the bath was a very special treat. We felt so at home here, cooked ourselves a meal with vegetables from the stall next door and relaxed on the comfy couch. I wish we had stayed longer to take advantage of the walks that can be accessed directly from the property. The staff a delightful. Highly recommend.

United KingdomNo blackout curtains!! Really didn’t want to wake up at 7am on my holiday especially with a 4 year old one who thought it was time to play and wake up. Please consider blackout curtains!
The location of this property is insane! Superb views even though it was raining and really misty, which is typical for Nuwara Eliya I guess. The villa was a little out of the way and we’ve had some trouble with tuk tuk/taxi drivers not knowing where the location is. However, the place is really nice and I wish we were staying there for a little longer.

United KingdomWe had such a fantastic stay at this absolute gem in Nuwara Eliya! This place deserves more than 10 rating. My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon trip around Sri Lanka and it’s been our highlight accommodation so far. The villa is beautiful, so comfortable and super cosy. The views are insane. So beautiful. Yummy breakfast too! What makes this place so special is how much the staff put into the service and making your stay memorable. A very special shoutout to Shameera who went above and beyond to look after us. The gestures and attention were so thoughtful. He is the absolute best! Thank you Luxe Wilderness and thank you Shameera for such an amazing stay. We wish we could have stayed even longer!
