How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA really lovely property owned by a wonderful family. We had a comfortable stay :)
The only improvement we would suggest would be bigger sheet covers on the bed, as the ones we had felt quite small to sleep with.
Thank you sir 🙏

Some noise in the nearby neighbourhood in the evenings, we were probably a bit unlucky.

Verified reviewThe owner of Amal Guest House is very kind and helpful. The accommodation is pleasant, also thanks to the covered terrace. Some rooms have a fan, some air conditioning. You need to pay attention to this when booking.
I was alone in the double room and I was a bit missing a smaller wardrobe/chest of drawers. But it is possible that other rooms have this equipment.
Thank you ❤️

Verified reviewWe loved this guest house! The family are so lovely, and the rooms are comfy and clean - it was the cleanest place we stayed during our 2 weeks Sri Lanka (and the strongest wifi connection too!). The perfect location for exploring Mirissa, and on a quiet side street. Great value for money. We would definitely stay again.
Thank you very much 🙏👍

Verified reviewSituated in a back street a short walk (10 mins) from the main road and beach, this place is very quiet with plenty of nearby eating and drinking options. It’s situated in a dead end road so there is very little traffic. The room was clean and comfortable with a large bathroom. The owner and his family are very friendly and helpful. A great place to stay.
Thank you very much 🙏👍

Verified reviewAmal and his family are very nice and helpful. The Guesthouse is close to town and beach. The room was big enough and clean.
The terrace is nice and cosy. It would make it even more comfortable if it had something like a hammock or beach chair, to spend the time. The tables are nice, but not so comfortable. Would have been helpful to have a cupboard in the room for the clothes.
thank you 🙏🙏🙏
