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 reviewDuring my stay in Sri Lanka I found most of the time you couldn’t rely on the reviews. I can confirm the reviews for this place are 100% accurate. The place was absolutely spotless, the sheets were smelling so fresh, the AC was nice and cool, there were no bugs and there was a place for you to hang your clothes. The lady I dealt with was also so lovely and made sure I was always comfortable. There is a reason this place has to be booked in advance.
My only regret was I didn’t find this place sooner.

Verified reviewThe hotel is really lovely and has a comfy bed and a hot shower with good pressure. It’s a short walk away from the beach and the nearby restaurants. I would happily stay here again! The owner is so kind and helpful! We had our laundry done at the hotel for a good price and it was returned to us the next day neatly folded and smelling lovely.

Verified reviewVery friendly and helpful owners - helped organize tours and scoorer hire. Were very attentive with all of our needs. Communication was great. We were upgraded with our room for free which was fantastic. The deluxe room was spacious, garden view from deck which we saw lots of monkeys. Mattress was firm but comfortable. Shower had good pressure and hot water. Great aircon. Quiet but central location.
Had to squeegee the floor after each shower due to not having a shower box. Finding this to be pretty common in Sri Lanka though.

Verified reviewLoved everything about Sakura Calm Rest. Breakfast was amazing- fresh fruit and juices followed by traditional Sri Lankan although westernised was available. Ishaka was the most friendly and helpful host ably assisted by Sureka- both always with a smile to greet you. Rooms were spacious and clean with a lovely little balcony where I would have a cup of tea and watch the monkeys in the morning. Perfect

Verified reviewEnded up at this place after an other place canceled my room last minute. The only downside was that I only got a room for one night. Great place, comfy bed and nice shower. One of the best places to be in Mirissa. Just a few minutes away from the b beach.

Verified reviewEverything!! It was the perfect accommodation, large room, lots of place to store and hang clothes, comfortable bed and pillows, amazing hosts (always smiling, offering guidance, very welcoming and nice), balcony (monkeys came a couple of times and visited :) ), common kitchen and fridge for guests, and super close (maybe 5 mins walk tops) to the main beach and main street of Mirissa yet very calm. Wifi worked pretty well. Great AC and even a fan. Honestly, I would say this was the best accommodation we had during our trip to Sri Lanka (we stayed in 5 other places throughout the island). We rented a scooter from them for a very decent price. We spent 6 nights there (they changed the towels for us and offered to clean the room halfway through our stay. For the great value you receive, I would even say that this is a very cheap accommodation. I highly recommend this place during your stay in Mirissa!

Verified reviewThe hotel is run by a lovely young family who are very helpful - they organised a transfer to Ella at short notice, the breakfast was great, freshly prepared and we also tried the curry for dinner - so delicious. The location is perfect, close to the beach but very quiet, very clean. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend the hotel.

Verified review✔️ Very nice host family. Ishaka was very welcoming, nice and open to any questions and requests. ✔️ Amazing breakfast compared to other hotels on Sri-Lanka. Fresh juice/coconut, fruits, hot dishes nicely cooked, youghurt, tea. ✔️ Location (close to everything) ✔️ Clean room, good working conditioner, bed with mosquitos net. I have other accomodations on Sri-Lanka to compare with and Ishaka family is doing their business great with client-oriented approach. Bravo, Ishaka! I wish you prosperity ❤️
