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 reviewProperty was very clean, location was calming away from the busy main road but within walking distance to all the main areas, staff are all very friendly and the pool was very well kept. Rooms are spacious and WiFi is good.

Verified reviewVery nice friendly host
We didn't like to see the hosts beautiful Golden Labrador cooped up in his pound all day, we also didn't like that the hosts did a fumigation while we were there with no warning. This was to keep the mosquito population down but guests should have been warned of the chemicals. The fumigation caused clouds of white dust (literally) which we couldn't even see through from our rooms, the dust was that thick. Not safe for anyone who had asthma, respiratory issues. Understand if it needed to be done but guests should have been given notice and the option to leave premises while fumigation was being done.

Verified reviewDid a lot of research before deciding to go with this and wow I'm so glad I chose Peacock villa. This is basically their home which they operate as accommodation. I read through many reviews and compared with the other hotel that I almost booked with but in the end went with my heart and also cos there was a pool. I arrived from Ella on the day where my yala safari was cancelled by an irresponsible operator and so I was scrambling for a last minute shared taxi to Mirissa. Luckily when I arrived, I felt the hospitality from Charindu, the man who responds to yr messages on booking.com etc. I was served iced coffee which was great. I was then shown to my room which was a Deluxe Double located on the ground floor in the next building. There is a safe, fridge which were quite essential to me as I bought beer from outside n so was able to refrigerate it. WiFi worked well n I was able to use my phone. Everyday, breakfast is served right beside the pool (unfortunately I only managed to have it 1 day by the pool as it was occupied by other guests). There are 3 choices - English n Sri Lankan with coconut roti or Sri Lankan with roti n dhal curry n coconut sombal. I stayed 3n so was able to try all 3. The villa is located just a short walk from the main street n Mirissa beach. Nearby are also famous eateries such as Dewmini and Dhana’s curry. The pool is a respite from the heat at the end of the day. I visited in early Jul n was afraid of bad weather but luckily I had great weather throughout. Although there were other guests, it nv felt overcrowded. During breakfast on 2 occasions, I saw monkeys n a monitor lizard passing by. Although I didn't open the balcony, bugs still came in but I understand this is all part n parcel when staying in an outdoor accommodation. Charindu is a great host n I would recommend the villa!
There were bugs but it's a small issue and not beyond their control

Verified reviewMe and my partner originally booked 3 nights, but we were so satisfied we decided to cancel other bookings and extend our stay in Peacock Villa for 3 more nights. Staff was very helpful and polite, they always helped with ordering tuktuks. When we arrived very late, they made us coffee, no questions asked. Breakfast was amazing, we could choose from 3 options each morning. Pool is very clean and the surroundings are beautiful. The view from our balcony was our favorite part - the jungle and a lot of monkeys (visiting us on balcony), birds, and trees full of fireflies😍 Beach was only 10 minutes walking distance. We highly recommend this place and would always come back!
