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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomFood is delicious but more expensive than in other similar resorts in Sri Lanka.
Anasa Wellness Resort is a haven of tranquility. The view from our chalet was out of this world! The service is incredible and the food is exceptionally good.

United KingdomNothing negative - prices are fairly expensive once tax and service added, but that is to be expected for a 5* resort.
The whole experience was amazing - the chalets and views are beautiful, staff so helpful, and food very good. We did a lovely walk from the hotel and were given a map to do this. If you want to splash out the massages are incredible!

United Kingdom- Overpriced food and drink, I would even call it Extortionate pricing. Probably the most expensive food prices of any of the 5 star hotels I stayed in Sri Lanka. - Location isn't great. It's about 35 to 45 minutes drive from Ella town.
- Spa facilities are incredible, hydropool, cold plunge, steam/sauna room and massage rooms all the very best quality. - The gym is actually state of the art, some equipment I have never seen in UK gyms. - Massage therapists are very experienced and very welcoming, kind, good people. - Staff were caring and thoughtful. - Rooms are good for families, but definitely not the best value for money rooms.

BelgiumOne area for improvement is the treatment of private drivers, who play a key role in the guests' experience but aren't always treated equally. A simple gesture like offering them the same welcome drink as guests would be a thoughtful recognition of their contribution, ensuring everyone feels respected and valued right from the start.
Our stay at Anasa was spectacular, a true gem with breathtaking views that photos can't fully capture. The peaceful, well-kept gardens and the exceptional staff, especially Ranil and Shadi, made our visit unforgettable. Their attention to detail, from recommending a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast to preparing a special street food dinner, made us feel incredibly special. The entire team's politeness and genuine care are remarkable— they deserve every bit of praise. Everything from the reception to the unique experiences provided was top-notch, easily a 10 out of 10. It's evident why this beautiful location is a popular choice for proposals and memorable occasions. Anasa is truly an unparalleled experience.

PolandThe pool is quite small and under roof so if you expect to spend there much time, keep that in mind:) we stayed there only for 2 nights so we didn't really care.
A serene and relaxing place amidst the lush greenery... the design of chalets is very cozy and the view from the terraces is stunning.

United StatesThe Chalet was well appointed and very comfortable. However, if you are a party of 4 adults, and, book one challet the two upstairs has a less comfortable sleeping space.
The food was excellent. well prepared and beautifully served. the staff was kind, attentive and exceptionally friendly. The SPA facility is outstanding. Loved the privacy afforded to each treatment. excellent the therapist, really luxurious!

Everything! The location is out of this world, so calming, beautiful views, exceptional staff that go out of their way for you, great facilities, the best massage we’ve ever had, and great, fresh food! It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place - a perfect spot to reenergize! The chalets are very clean, spacious, comfortable and have breathtaking views. The whole place is super relaxing, there’s plenty of activities (squash, tennis court, basket ball court, a great hybrid gym) and their massages are not to be missed! The staff is all wonderful, very friendly and personal, they really make you feel taken care of. We would come back 😊

CanadaIt would be nice to have more variety of gluten & soy free options on the menu. What we did eat was delicious. Portion sizes are large or just right. Everything was fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed it!
The location is stunning. Waking up and being able to bask in the sun on the deck looking out onto the hills was breathtaking. We enjoyed the service, the kindness of the staff and the food. The massages we had were phenomenal. We felt relaxed, so comfortable, and it was just what we needed in the middle of our two weeks in Sri Lanka.

SwitzerlandThe one thing I didn’t enjoy was the price of food and drinks, these are European prices in Sri Lanka. I would say this property should consider an all inclusive model, as you are a 40 minute drive from Ella, you either pay the high prices or drive, not ideal.
This property has every facility one could ask for to keep yourself entertained, we played tennis, used the gym, did Yoga. The property is immaculate, food was amazing, the staff friendly and kind. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. I liked that our children could explore the property unsupervised.
