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):
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.
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.).

SpainWhere you save your stuff has wheels and makes a bit of noise, so maybe you get bothered by the noise in the morning or ar night bc of it's use, also the curtains of the bed doesn't cover anything if you turn on the light inside, everyone can see you, works if you don't have any light on while on bed.
The staff was super helpful and friendly, the facilities were super clean as they clean every day. The kitchen was one of the cleanest that I saw in Sri Lanka. Bed comfortable (hard mattress) and very quite at night, no noise from the street or anything. Good wi-fi, for calls as well.

BangladeshThe place was pretty empty, since it was just the end of the season. Would have loved it was more happening. Moreover, you need to pay for a towel if you need it.
Very convenient location at a walking distance from Mirissa Bus stop and also from the secret beach. Very beautiful place built by a German which was later sold to the local owner. The manager Kamal was very helpful and always smiling. Rooms were big and quiet. Guests were allowed to cook in the common kitchen, use the fridge and clothe drying stands for free, when laundry service was available for a price.

PakistanExceptionally good hostel. Really clean and great quality furniture/fittings. The manager and staff were very friendly and hospitable - Manjeve was very generous with sharing meals and providing his company during the days he is there. Really fun vibe at the hostel. Kept clean despite people bringing in sand from the beach constantly. Priced appropriately for the high quality I was their last guest of 2024 and had an exceptional new year's eve thanks to the host's hospitality and wonderful people I met at the hostel. Ended up spending 3 nights in Mirissa!
