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.).

The highlight was definitely the balcony with a breathtaking view of the ocean – the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening breeze. The staff were absolutely wonderful – always smiling, friendly, and ready to help with anything we needed. Thank You 💚💚 Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor – a great way to start the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, views, and amazing service in Mirissa! 🌊🌞

Verified reviewThis was the best location we had during our entire trip in Sri Lanka. First of all, the owner and the staff were super kind and available for every request. The attention for the customer is at a top level. The room was incredible, from the furniture to the “spa” bathroom. Everything was clean and meticulously maintained. The b&b is one minute walk from the main beach and the main attractions of Mirissa! Very tasty breakfast!
The only regret was spending so little time at the Nava (only 4 nights). We hope to come back again soon!

Verified reviewReally lovely space. The staff were lovely. So kind and accommodating. We had a late flight so after checking out, they let us leave our bags with them for the day and let us use a shower before heading to the airport! Really generous. It’s right beside the beach and beside popular restaurants.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was very big and well organised. The location is perfect for a quick 2 min walk to the beach. I enjoyed the gym next door, which only charges 1000 rupees if you are a resident of the hotel. The breakfast has options, the eggs are tasty and the fruits are incredible. The staff is kind and offers to help at any time. Air condition also works perfectly.
The only problem we faced was that the window above our bed is too bright and the sun wakes you up at 6 am. There were a few problems sometimes with the water temperature, but they resolved immediately.

Verified reviewGreat stay at Nava. Room and bathroom were huge, and very comfortable. We had breakfast included which was well worth it. Location is great, right across from the beach, and with numerous highly rated restaurants and beach clubs located within walking distance. Host was a lovely gentleman happy to help with anything.

Verified reviewTotal Can definitely recommend as your stay! About Stay +Excellent location near the beach, Parrot Rock and Turtle Point, 600m to Coconut Hill in one direction and 600m to the Cargills supermarket in the other. There are plenty of cafés nearby for different budgets. +The staff is excellent—friendly, smiling, and always ready to assist with any issues. At check-in, there was a minor issue with one of the rooms (we booked three rooms for our group), but in the end, we found a mutually beneficial solution. +The breakfasts are simple continental-style but filling and tasty. Of course, it’s not a 5-star hotel with a wide variety of dishes, but everything essential is available: eggs cooked any way you like, toasts, butter and jam. The kids especially loved the pancakes—they were just like homemade "blinchiki" with honey (блинчики с медом). +A special compliment for the quality coffee/tea and the variety of fresh fruits at breakfast! +Upon request, they also prepare takeaway breakfasts for early excursions. +The beds are comfortable and clean. The latex pillows are very cozy, just like at home. Housekeeping is done upon request. -No minus. Can recommend! About Mirissa There is a nice sandy beach to the right of Parrot Rock. The kids enjoyed the waves for fun. However, it’s not as good for surfing as Hikkaduwa or Weligama. Some local surf schools even take students to Weligama for lessons. The Turtle Point here is also different from Hikkaduwa, where you can walk alongside turtles and feed them. In Mirissa, you need to snorkel to see them—but they are there! Overall, Mirissa reminded me of Koh Samui in Thailand, which I consider a plus!
