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 reviewRecommend staying here!. Couple from Australia and Ireland, late 20s early 30s. This places was lovely, very modern and new and you can tell. Its extremely big and the photos actually dont do it justice, so i took some more to show how big the space was. Massive bedroom, and had a self service kitchen and dining table. Could definitely get a pool table in the upstairs area as it is nice and open. Its a good location about 5-10min walk from the beach and main road.
There are a couple of ants around but if you dont keep food in the room you will be fine

Verified reviewRooms were basic but were perfect for what we needed it for. They were extremely clean and location of the accommodation was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and street or main restaurants. Staff helped us with booking a taxi from here to Matara bus station at a really reasonable price. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Verified reviewWe booked this accommodation at the very last minute, and it was absolutely no problem. The owner’s brother took care of us right away, making us feel welcome from the start. The place is exceptionally clean and perfectly located, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable—truly a hidden gem! Highly recommended!

Verified reviewWifi working and it is nice speed if compare with other Sri Lanka (~20-30mb), very spacious and clean room. Closet, desk, two chairs inside. Free kitchen and kitchenware for the guests. Cleaning is weekly, but brothers (owners) can help with everything, they were available whole stay offline or on whatsup. Worth for money, we stayed here 1 week and decided to prolong, because of this is the place you don’t want to leave! Thanks for the beautiful 2 weeks Cocoon!!

Verified reviewThe place was in a great location. Very close to the main strip but on a quieter street. About a 7 minute walk to the beach. The host upgraded our room for free. We had access to a small shared kitchen including a fridge and freezer. The AC worked well. The host arranged an airport transfer for us at a better rate than what I found online. The host always responded to messages promptly.
It’s a little hard to find at first. Google maps brings you to the exact spot but the sign for the place is hidden in the trees across the street.

Verified reviewWe moved here from another property within Mirissa that wasn’t what it was advertised - the owner was able to accommodate us at short notice, great location walking distance to all of the main cafes/restaurants, near to our favourite (Junction Cafe and Gedara Curry). Really clean, excellent air con and quiet at night (road fairly busy until 7-8pm but not much after this) We booked into the budget double room which didn’t have a fridge, but staff were more than happy to let us use fridge over the road in the kitchen
There are a few reviews mentioning mosquitos - an unavoidable element of the location of this hostel with lovely nature on the property is that there are some mosquitos present outside - the room had a good mosquito net and they weren’t a problem.

Verified reviewClean room with good A/C and mosquito net. Nice cupboard and a table in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The wash room was ok, well-kept but with some mosquitos (no net in the window). There is a kitchen with fridge, stove and a kettle. It is a good location, a bit remote, not at the loud main street, but still in a walking distance from the beach. Good price/worth ratio. Very nice and friendly owner and his brother who helps to run the place.
Not much really. Not so easy to see the sign from the street when you first arrive. There are mosquitos storming the wash room (please add a net in the window). The additional whale watching trip we bought was in an affordable price, but took too long and we didn't get to see any whales (just a few bottle-nose dolphins). In general we didn't like Mirissa that much (too touristic for our taste), which obviously is not host's fault.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious, modern, and clean. It had AC and a fan, and both worked great. Location was excellent, right in the centre of everything. The owner and his brother were brilliant! We had trouble with a taxi (booked through somebody else) when we were moving to Udawalawe, and they sorted a large van for us within 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this place.
