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 reviewPearlDrop Waves Mirissa is such a wonderful place! The view is amazing, and it’s just a short walk to the beach. The stay is clean and cozy, and the host is very helpful. They even provide massages, which made the experience extra relaxing. I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it.
One minor issue: the washroom door needs a fix as it can’t be locked, but it’s just a small thing.

Verified reviewBy far my favorite place I've stayed in in Sri Lanka (stayed in higher and lower budget places all around the country). Kindest staff who are beyond accommodating - every ask I had was fulfilled in seconds with someone knocking at the door. Their breakfast genuinely should not be free it's insanely delicious. Seriously some of the best curry I've had here. Go for the Sir Lankan breakfast but they also have a banging western option. Clean enough to appease even the most hyper-hygenic guests. The view from the room is just ridiculous with a pampering balcony, cool AC, and a fan option too which I sometimes even preferred in the evening. The manager is a phenomenal, hardworking, and honest guy who will connect you with any activity you're interested in with the best people, for the best price.
I'm just looking for something to write here but have next to nothing. I guess the bathroom could be better ventilated even though there is a window? I don't have any real criticism. If you are lucky enough to find availability here book it for as long as you can.

Verified reviewThe property had a stunning ocean view and a peaceful atmosphere. The terrace with the swing seat was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sound of the waves. The location was great, very close to Mirissa beach and restaurants.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing place this is! The rooms and bathrooms are clean and well maintained, the view was spectacular from the room. The pool was lovely. The manager, Eranga made our stay absolutely incredible, he accommodated all our needs. The entire staff gave spectacular service for the time we were there. The food was AMAZING! We actually preferred eating there than going out. I cannot recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back on our next visit to Mirissa. Thank you PearlDrop Waves.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, very close to the beach. Staff incredibly friendly and accommodating. Beautiful pool and roof top terrace, comfy bed, great, hot shower room. Breakfast was delicious and the devilled prawns we had for lunch were too.
Might be nice to have extra blankets in the room, as a westerner I am used to a duvet and one sheet meant I was a bit cold!

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The cleanliness is impeccable, the decor is very pleasant, and the sea view is beautiful, both from the room and the rooftop. The pool is clean and calm, perfect for relaxing. The rooftop is well laid out with comfortable chairs. Eranga is very welcoming and speaks English and Tamil, which is a big plus. The sri lankan breakfast and the service were really good. It is located near the coconut tree Hill (7/8min by walking) and the parrot rock ( 15min by walking) , so close to touristic attraction.

We loved this stay more than any other we've visited in sri lanka and we really hope to come back. Both scooter rental and laundry service is just in the area. Thank you so much for the stay!
