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.).

RussiaDust at reception desk. Elevator is under construction. Cleaning is work on request. Staff doing they work as fast as they can but it looks like shortcoming of staff. It's not good idea to burn garbage in front of the ocean every evening. It looks like calm place but one night people sign a songs with drums at the beach till 2:00, and the second one was pool party till 23:00.
Living in front of the ocean. Good beds, pillows, and white sheets. A/C work well, small fridge work good and quietly. Staff helps with luggage without asking. Perfect surf site in front of the hotel.

IndiaThe property , despite having excellent location and well laid building plan doesn't have an elevator installed for its four storeys ( Ground +3). A hardworking staff member shifts the luggage up and down through the staircase. The property for its size is seriously understaffed. It generally affects the quality of the experience and puts limitations on the services offered. Laundry quality of the towels was not satisfactory.
Mirissa is a lovely place. This resort is right on the beach . There's very good ocean view from the room. Ours was on second floor . The rooms are spacious and adequately furnished. The staff is friendly, helping and very hard working . They do their best to meet your needs with limited resources at their disposal . The swimming pool is nice and clean. Lobby and Restaurant space is spacious . Overall cleanliness is maintained. AC works well. The breakfast is basic but good and was served on table.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted and takin through the check in process. Extremely friendly and professional staff. We were taken to room and shown all the facilities and everything was explained. The staff regularly messaged me on WhatsApp to make sure we had everything and also communicated on when we wanted room cleaned.

The staff is supremely sweet and kind. The view from the room was just amazing. We changed our plans as it was off-season and the city felt lonely and hence we decided to leave Mirissa. Upon requesting the host to allow us cancellation, they agreed to it and understood our angst.

United KingdomThe breakfast wasn't very good and they don't tell you that you need to order the Sri Lankan breakfast a day in advance. Some of the fruit was quite warm. The area around the pool is very tired and needs a bit of TLC. The room wasn't as clean as it could have been, in particular the bathroom. We asked for some food to our room. They took the order but then called us down to collect it instead of bringing it up, saying they don't do room service. But then they accompanied us up with it anyway. So was unclear on why they didn't just bring it in the first place. It was a lot of faff for some noodles and rice, although the food was very tasty.
We had a lovely big corner room with sea view. It was very peaceful; just the sound of the waves. It's a good base for exploring Mirissa, but is about a 5 minute drive from the main area. The lunch we had was nice. The staff were friendly mostly. The woman who seems to run it is particularly helpful and friendly. Our air con broke briefly but was all sorted very quickly and didn't break again the rest of the trip.

United KingdomThe area around the pool is a bit tatty. There were couple of broken sun chairs and some old shoes there for days. It would be so simple to make this area lovely as the pool is a good size and it is by the beach. They were painting the fence so maybe this is work in progress? There is a large communal room by the reception, but strangely there are hardly any chairs! This could be a lovely area as it has big windows onto the pool.
We loved being right by the beach, although it is a bit rocky to swim. (You can swim a short walk away). We had a big corner room which was worth the extra cost - spectacular sunsets. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the lady on reception took time to find train times for us to reach our next location. Beds were big and comfortable, and the hotel interior is very clean (not quite so good by the pool though).

United KingdomThis hotel could be fabulous with minimal effort, a bit of local artwork and some thoughts about the dining and lounge area would bring it up a notch. Dinner they could put small tables outside on the beach. Put a menu in the rooms. There is a fabulous rooftop area that has not yet been developed that is ideal for a roof bar. In fairness this hotel is great value but boutique it up and they could easily get double the rates
View are fantastic, we had turtles feeding just off the beach. There is a snorkeling beach 150m away and the main beach at Marissa is easily walkable.

NetherlandsIf they could make one change: make the coffee at breakfast much better. Do it properly and with attention to detail like you do everything else. As it was I could not stand it. You could do french press easily, or Moka, or drip in a good scalable way. Research the right grind and brewing techniques. If you could make a second change: record feedback from everyone and review it weekly and make a plan to incorporate the feedback over time. Make sure it aligns with your vision.
We liked the slightly secluded location because otherwise you don't get to see that part of the beach. We liked the attention to detail of the staff. Wifi was good. I was able to have a video call no problem. Really tasty mushroom button lunch. View from the room is stunning onto the ocean. Lots of privacy. Breakfast was not bad but not astounding. Tea is good. Puppies next door were adorable.

United KingdomThe lock for my room was broken so I had to slam the door quite hard to get it to work. The water pressure for the shower wasn’t as strong as I’d have liked.
Imagine listening to/watching the sound of the waves crashing on to the shore from your bed. That was my experience at this hotel. Absolutely fantastic. Then you have the wonderful staff and gorgeous room to add to that. Breakfast is good and you can walk straight out to the beach from the hotel. The hotel is technically just outside Mirissa but still very close to the action. Staff are really obliging and the food is amazing.

SpainThis is not a Resort, it is a very small hotel which is situated away from the main beaches. There is no beach in front of the hotel, there are rocks. The breakfast was poor and was full of flies. The room amenities are refilled and have in-house printed label, it would be better to put large wall dispensers for the shower. The common areas of the hotel, dining area, and small lounge, need a bit of decoration. This could be a nice hotel
The people were very friendly and the room was nice and clean and very nice sea view.

IndiaBathrooms are tiny. Some basics are lacking like no blankets in rooms. No dental kit and such provided. If your daily provided 2 towels got wet it would be a real struggle to convince them to replace them.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with plenty of options for vegetarians. They even went out of the way and allowed people to get late breakfast. Location is nice. There is a wonderful restaurant just next door where we went for dinner twice. Markets are nearby and mirissa beach is 5 minutes by tuk tuk. Pool was good and Clean.
