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 hospitality and a friendly staff. The breakfast we had in this place was too good. Safest place to stay and family friendly.
Everything was good. It would have been better if they change the location of the AC in the triple room so everyone in the room can get air.

Verified reviewEverything at this hotel was perfect. The staff was so nice and helpful. The location was perfect, walking distance from the main road and the beach but far enough that we don't hear the city noise. I think it was the most confortable room of my trip and everything was clean. The breakfast is delicious and copious

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and exceptional in their service. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was how they took care of our breakfast, everything was arranged perfectly and served with such care. It’s those small thoughtful touches that really made a difference. Highly recommend this place, and I’d definitely come back again.

Verified reviewThank you very much for the warm welcome, very, very tasty, beautiful, varied breakfasts: every day a new dish, yogurt, ice cream, a lot of fruits. The room is large, very clean, white linen, comfortable bed, no insects, no noise, everything is there for convenience, including a hairdryer, water cooler on the first floor. The location was convenient for us, the singing of birds, peacocks, peace and quiet. The hostess of the villa is always ready to help and make the rest comfortable. We were very happy to spend our holidays in such a friendly atmosphere, as if we had come to visit relatives. Good luck and all the best, thanks!

Verified reviewGreat place to stay in Mirissa. Owner is very kind and very helpful. We arrived early and she quickly finished the cleaning and let us in. For a family of 4, we booked a big room with 2 double/queen beds. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The room also has air conditioning which is very important in hot weather. Breakfast is top-notch, lots of variety, and it was very tasty. As you can see in the photo, breakfast includes lots of fruits, pancakes, eggs, sausages,etc. On day 2, kids also had ice cream for breakfast. I'd say breakfast is better than most of the 5 star hotels. Location is also very convenient. It's 7-9min walk from Mirissa beach and 15min walk from Coconut tree hill. The Mirissa train station is 5mins tuk tuk drive.

Verified reviewOh wow - what a place that was! Absolute 10/10 Great location Perfect owner (very well english speaking person). Always smiling. Helped us to arrange a very early morning tuktuk ride to matara railway for a reasonable fare. Breakfast - fantastic! And a lot! We weren't able to eat all of the things (both local and standard). Also got a takeaway package for our ride in the morning And the place itself - super clean, spacious, not humid, with AC, no insects. The room was very comfortable, with big bed and all the additional furtniture or accesories we needed. The atmosphere of that place is amazing - highly reccomending!

Verified reviewIt was the perfect stay to relax and enjoy a few days of Mirissa. Anu and her family were super nice and made us plenty delicious homemade Sri-Lanken breakfast. One of the best food we had so far here. It is clean and cozy and has everything you need. We loved the beds and the Moskito nets. 10/10 and highly recommended. We will come next year again🥰
Maybe something like a cabin to put all the clothes would be nice 😊

Verified reviewGreat location, close to the beach but far enough away from the main road to avoid a lot of the noise. Bed was massive. The hosts were lovely, frequently bringing us huge plates of fruit when we got back and let us check out late after whale watching. AC was strong. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Verified reviewAwesome breakfast! The place was spotless clean. The owner gave my kid free ice cream and even waited for our ride! Plus, she let us check out late because we were behind schedule from whale watching.
I don't get the logic behind transparent bathroom door in triple room. No privacy at all. Pressure in the shower was too low and couldn't get the right temperature to bath. It's either too hot or too cold. Blanket was too thin and only 1 thin pillow for each. Owner should focus on improving shower facility especially water pressure and temperature.

Verified reviewEverything! We stayed in 5 different homestays in Sri Lanka and this was our favorite. I think a large part of it was because of our very hospitable and friendly host Anu. She was helpful and responsive to my messages, and she also prepared a superb breakfast for us. Aside, the homestay is at a quiet peaceful location within walking distance to the noisy main road. The room was huge (we were upgraded to family room as the AC in the original room stopped working, but our original room was also spacious), wonderfully clean, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The AC worked well and the WiFi was the most reliable of all our accommodations. It was nice to have a clothes rack in the room. The shower pressure was okay though we didn’t manage to get hot water but I think it was our user problem as other reviews mentioned there’s hot water. But it was okay after the hot days out in Mirissa. Would totally stay here again.
Nothing

Verified reviewAnu and all the personal are kind and helpfull. They made us feel very comfortable in our stay. Anu gives us good advises and help us with any request. Breakfasts are amazing and the location is perfect, close to Mirissa beach but not in the noise of the main road. (The entrance is through the Ahasya spa road, not where Google maps shows you). It is also the cleanest hotel in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended.
Toilet door was translucent so it didn't leave enough privacy. Hottest water in the shower didn't have too much pressure.

Verified reviewThe room was a good size, very clean and comfortable and the air con and WIFI worked brilliantly. Each day we were served delicious and enormous breakfasts! There is a laundry service and our clothes came back smelling amazing, we also had our room cleaned whilst we stayed. It is just 10 minutes walk to the beach with excellent choice of places to eat dinner along the way. The best thing of all about this place is the wonderful hosts who are so friendly and attentive. We absolutely loved staying here and we cannot find fault with it. We would recommend this stay to anyone!
