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.).

Our stay was absolutely perfect! A huge thank you to our host and his mother for their warm welcome and kindness. We decided to have dinner and breakfast on-site, and it was truly delicious, all homemade. They also helped us book our activities and were always attentive to our needs. We keep wonderful memories of our stay and highly recommend this place!

what can I say? a room with over 200 reviews and that high rating, you are guaranteed a great stay. We booked the stay along with breakfast/lunch/meal. Tasty food at affordable price avoid so we avoid the hassle of looking for a restaurant. Plus the fish curry can't be more fresh because owner is the fisherman!!! few minutes to beach

New ZealandOne of the best stays I had in Sri Lanka. Loved the sound of the birds in the morning and being away from the busyness. Ishan was always there if I needed anything and provided me with information about the area. Not to mention his Mom's homecooking. Very nice and comforting food. I had lunch on my arrival and dinner that same evening. Also I had breakfast the day I checked out. Very happy. Thanks for a great stay

AustraliaThis place is really homely and makes you feel instantly relaxed! The type of accomodation that you’re happy to stay and have relaxing mornings, and happy to come back to after exploring! Ishaan gave us lots of helpful tips about the area and his mum makes delicious breakfast and dinner! We ate there every day and definitely recommend it! The natural environment surrounding and the vibe that Ishaan has created is truly lovely - a million times better than bright white walls! The place is very clean and practical, with a private bathroom and lovely little deck outside.

MalaysiaNothing really major. But the place don't come with hot water heater if it's anyone's concern. However the weather is warm so I don't think it's a necessity for water heater. They also accept payment in cash, just heads up - but the ATMs are also walking distance or a short tuktuk ride away, so it's not a problem.
The place was really wonderful. It was walking distance to all the beaches in Mirissa including the main Mirissa Beach, Secret Beach, Turtle Beach, and Coconut Tree Hill. The host, Ishan and his family were wonderful. You could also order breakfast and lunch from them if you'd like authentic Sri Lankan food. Ishan was super helpful in giving suggestions and was very genuine too. The place is clean and neat.

BangladeshWe really really loved the hospitality of Bird House Mirissa. We felt wonderfully welcomed from the moment we arrived here, Ishan welcomed us the most refreshing tea and home made biscuits. The room was comfortable and clean, 100% value for money. Ishan helped us with all the necessary information, he even recommended us a secret spot from where we enjoyed the best sunset in Mirissa. He also helped us with hiring taxis for intercity traveling with a cheapest price range. And one thing I must recommend is to try their food. Ishan's mother is such a lovely lady and an excellent cook! In our 6 days travel of SriLanka, this homestay's meal was our most favorite.

United KingdomOnly thing I didnt like is that I couldn't stay here for a few more days as I had to go back elsewhere 🖤
After being in sri lanka for 7 weeks I can say this is one of the best places I've stayed. The location is amazing, not too far to walk too the beaches or the centre of mirissa for some shopping or to visit restaurants for some food. As soon as I booked a I received a message from Ishan with tips on where to go and what to do in mirissa as well as a menu for the food they serve. I tried the chicken curry and fish curry for lunch and dinner, breakfast i tried the pani pol and the coconut rotti with Dahl. The food was amazing 👏 Ishan mom is the person who cooks the food which is really nice. As Ishan wasn't there all the time he would message throughout the day to make sure everything is going okay and there are no issues. I didnt have any issues whilst being here but if there was a message to Ishan would have sorted it straight away.

Germanyin the night there were a few insects, but that’s part of the treehouse;)
It was such a sweet little treehouse, with a little bathroom and a balcony in front! It got a bit hot in the night, but with the fan it was totally fine, around the bed there is a mosquito net which is really nice! All in all it provided a very comfortable experience in the trees! If you want you can even order dinner or breakfast from the family who runs this. And Ishan, the owner, helped us with everything we would’ve needed and always made sure we are happy.

Ishan helped us with everything we needed from minute 1 when we made the reservation. Excellent attention on his part both by Whatsapp and in person :) he received us with a very tasty welcome tea and we tried the fish curry made by his mother. Very very delicious and filling! Also the breakfast pani pol, we loved it!! We are very happy to have stayed at Bird House and I recommend it without hesitation!
