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 reviewExcellent location with everything around, 3 minutes walk to Mirissa’s main beach, ATM, grocery shops all nearby. Close enough to hear the waves but peaceful at night. Room was clean with high quality amenities and well-maintained bathroom. Minimal interior design creates a peaceful atmosphere. Host Sergio guided us to the best locations around and was very responsive to our urgent requests. Staff was kind and helpful throughout our stay.
Nothing significant to complain about. Perhaps slightly limited breakfast options, but there are excellent local cafes nearby that the host recommended.

Verified reviewExcellent location - 2 minute walk to the beach. Right in the middle of the shops, places to eat and the beach. The owners were lively and very accommodating- we had a very bad experience in a taxi coming from the airport to Mirissa which meant we didnt arrive till 11:15pm, but they stayed up and greeted us without a fuss.

Verified reviewWe got a free upgrade upon arrival which was lovely. The room was spacious and the facilities all worked well. The check-in process was easy and the person at reception was super friendly and provided some great recommendations as well. The accomodation is off the main street so it was quite enough and you could still hear the waves though there were dogs around the area barking throughout the night which I guess isn't the accomodations fault. We only stayed for a few hours as we had to leave super early but it was clean and comfortable.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was in a very good location, close to the beach and to many restaurants. The whole hotel is beautiful, full of plants, and places to hang out with other guests. The rooms are freshly renovated, so everything was clean and new, having all the necessary things for your stay. Hotel manager Dmitrij was going above and beyond to make sure we’re comfortable and that we have all that we need. He shared his map of places to eat all along the coast, which he updates regularly, he borrowed us towels for the beach and his diving Tshirt. And he managed to arrange us last minute pickup to take us to another city for a safari. It was one of the best hosts that we had in Sri Lanka.
Everything was perfect!

Verified reviewWe stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, but if we only had more vacation we would have stayed longer 😉 The room was nice, spacious and above all very clean. In addition, we got an upgrade to a room with a balcony which was very nice of the owner. The room had air conditioning and wifi which worked flawlessly. The location is great - 2 minutes from the beach but not on the main street which made the hotel quiet. The owner is very kind and helpful. We can honestly recommend this hotel and the next time we are in Sri Lanka we will definitely come back here.
