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.).

Madu was friendly, very helpful and had excellent contacts for tours, drivers for remaining legs of our holiday, etc. Manu went out of his way to ensure a perfect stay. Breakfast each day was wonderful and plentiful. The beach, restaurants etc were all very close by. Very good value for money!

Verified reviewI liked everything very much. Good location and clean neat room with everything you need. Very hospitable owner and his family. Helped me with renting a bike at the best price, and also found comfortable accommodation for my parents and friends. There is a massage parlor nearby. It's a couple of minutes to the beach, across the road you can buy good fresh fruit. There are also many local cafes around.

Verified reviewIt was the best experience in Sri Lanka. Clean room with all you need. The owner (Madu) and his family like a present from life). He was ready to help you all time. A plus, that he has a tuk-tuk and gave me the best prices on it. You can order super breakfast for the best price and his mother and wife will cook it with love😌 For my opinion very cool location! It’s one step to the ocean and bus station, but it is in silence. I don’t know how it works, but you can be confident you will have good sleep here. Oh! And of course, badora spa opposite your door. What can be better ? I wish Madu and his family many good guests and all the best!
thanks lot 🙏

Verified reviewLoved bisandu guesthouse. Clean, fresh, fridge, lights and plugs by bed, good air con, lovely cotton sheets, big comfy bed, hot water. Little area to sit outside. Nice breakfast especially the Sri Lankan version. Lots of fresh fruit. Minutes from the beach but far enough to be away from the noise. The area is like a little community with other good family guesthouses around, laundry services and Yummys restaurant which had delicious reasonable priced food. The family and host Madu were brilliant. Madu Helped us with advice, trips and even taxi to next place at the best prices. very trustworthy and reliable, would help with anything you need. Would definitely recommend.
Only that we would have stayed more nights but it was booked up. However Madu helped us to find a new place at his uncle's up the road at a great price.
thanks lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Verified reviewBisandu Guesthouse is a perfect location for your stay in Mirissa! From the moment we arrived, the host, Madu, welcomed us and made us feel at home. The room is perfect and has all the amenities you need, from a nice big bed with air conditioning to a little desk if you need to work and a large bathroom. The breakfast is freshly cooked every morning and is delicious. Definitely a big add to the stay ;-) Madu is a great host, he even brought us to Weligama for a surfing lesson in the morning, gave us lots of tips on what to do in the area (and where), and arranged a driver for us to go from Mirissa to Colombo (with a stop in Galle). 100% recommend staying here!
For our liking, the beds were a bit hard, but we are picky haha. Wifi could be spotty at times, but overall worked great. Other than that: the stay was fantastic.
thanks lot

Verified reviewBisandu is a lovely guesthouse. The room was very clean and comfortable. I work online, and my room had its own internet modem with very good signal strength, so I was able to work easily. The owner is very friendly and extremely accommodating. The local Sri Lankan breakfasts are prepared by his mother, and they are delicious and very filling. It's right across the road from Turtle Beach, which is great for swimming. Mirissa Beach is 5 minutes away, with lots of good restaurants and bars on the beach.
thanks lot 👍

Verified reviewThis room was one of the nicest places im which we stayed during our trip in Sri Lanka! It was very clean, everything worked properly (A/C, fan, shower...), and the bed was very comfortable. Madu was a great host, he is very kind and always happy to help. He has a tuktuk and he dropped us at Weligama (for a surf lesson, which was a lot of fun!) and he also took us to the bus station in Matara on our last day. The breakfast was also delicious!
