Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IsraelWe stayed one night at the place. We arrived very late at night from the airport and Randana was waiting for us outside the place. The room is clean and in an excellent location. The best thing is Randana's excellent hospitality. He drove us for two days to interesting places and recommended a lot to us. Randana speaks good English. Highly recommended.

AustraliaNothing, we loved it
The host was amazing. Being in low period, we were only ones staying at Brave Resort, so got to pick our room for same price as the room we booked. Breakfast was very delicious, traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. Location was good, in quiet part, however a 5-10 minute walk into Main Street and to beach.

SlovakiaWe stayed at Brave Resort for two days and had a wonderful experience. The resort is conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Mirissa Beach and about 11 minutes from Secret Beach. However, we do not recommend Secret Beach, as it is very rocky with strong waves. Many visitors, including us, ended up with scratches on our legs and backs—it’s quite dangerous for swimming. The owner of the resort was incredibly kind and lives on-site with his family. His wife prepared a delicious breakfast for us every morning, which we really enjoyed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making our stay very pleasant. One of the great advantages is that the owner also has a tuk-tuk and can take you wherever you need to go. He was always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying in a smaller resort like this rather than a big hotel. It gives you a more authentic Sri Lankan experience, allowing you to try homemade local cuisine and connect with the people, their culture, and their way of life. If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming place in Mirissa, Brave Resort is a great choice.

Beakfast was delicious and on the day of the boat trip they made package breakfast for us to bring along. The rooms have balconies, AC and a well functioning bathrooms.

United Statesnothing! it was great (:
Rangana and his wife are incredible hosts and we would 100% stay here again! We stayed for 3 weeks and we’re so happy we chose their home. It was very comfortable and clean, and we felt so cared for. Rangana was there to answer all of our questions, teach us about his culture, and always help us figure out where/what to do! The breakfasts were delicious and so different every day - his wife is an amazing cook. Rangana was so thoughtful and would repeat things that he knew we liked while also surprising us often with fun new things - teas, fruits, cakes, etc. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but a short walk to the beach, many restaurants, coffee, stores, etc. There is also a mini mart just down the street that we stopped at daily. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Mirissa!

OmanWater bottle wasn’t provided in the room. We asked for the water bottles and the host went to the market and bought it for us within few minutes.
We booked it last minute and reached the property within 10 minutes. Host did his best to make the arrangements for us. The room was clean and en-suite bathroom was nice. The host was very kind and polite. He gave us a very good breakfast in packaging early morning to eat during the whale watching. Due to the seasickness we couldn’t eat it fully but the breakfast looked delicious. Thank you for this gesture. The apartment is located at 5 minutes walk from the point where whale watching begins so it was very good for us to walk early in the morning.

I never give 10's. But this place gets mine now. Just behind the beach but away from the very busy main road. It was a lovely 3 day stay where I wish we could stay longer. Spacious bedroom good aircon & roomy bathroom with lots of hot water. Our room was facing the rear and very peaceful. Only disturbed by the peacocks in the morning! Highly recommend 👌

NetherlandsNothing really
The location is perfect. Far enough from the city centre of Mirissa to not be bothered by loud music, but close enough to walk to the centre or the two beaches (Mirissa beach and Secret beach). There is a different entrance for the guests so you don’t have to walk through the lovely family’s home which provides you with some privacy. The host is very welcoming and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast was always served in time and was different every day. The room has airconditioning which you really need as it can be hot in Mirissa.
