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.).

Ants in the room and no privacy when the curtains are open. Maybe an additional sheer curtain would be nice to let the light in while offering privacy

Verified reviewGreat location, on the hill, with stunning view to all Mirissa beach. New place, so everything is brand new. Huge bed. Strong wi-fi. Friendly staff.
Steep way to hotel from main road and the path in unpaved. Not much parking space in front of hotel.

Verified reviewThe Wave's Guest House is perfectly located – close to the beach, but set back just enough from the busy street to be quiet at night while still easily walkable during the day. The family running the guesthouse is incredibly friendly and served us the best breakfast every morning on the terrace with a view. You can see the ocean from the upper floor, and we highly recommend booking a room with a sea view!
thank you very much

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at this small and cozy family hotel. The owners are incredibly warm and helpful people. The owner also has a tuk-tuk and took us wherever we wanted to go. He was always there to assist us and even arranged a wonderful lake tour for us, which was truly unforgettable. The breakfast was delicious and generous, with plenty of fresh fruits. If I visit Mirissa again, I will definitely stay here.

Verified reviewLovely and spacious room, and a fantastic bathroom. My stay here was very comfortable. I liked that this accommodation was close to the main area of town and to many of the attractions in Mirissa. I loved being a 1-minute walk away from the beach - nothing better than going for a swim and then being able to wash off immediately. Breakfast was in the open on the upper floor, which was so nice. Love feeling the ocean breeze while enjoying a solid breakfast.
Shared balcony and poor privacy depending on where your room is situated. My room was between the stairs and another room, so I had to keep my curtains closed majority of the time.

Tuktuk mafia on the mainroad just below the hotel. If you use uber, tell them to come up to the hotel.
That's your personal problem. It's not our hotel's problem, so don't involve us in it.
