Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere were minor issues but they were resolved very quickly. There was some issues with electricity for an hour or so on the first day. One of the rooms had an issue with water when the AC was switched off. All the walls including the roof had water sweating. This meant some of the items in the room were wet. But the night staff cleaned the room and changed the bedding as soon as possible to resolve the situation. I would have preferred to see prices in the menu in Sri Lankan rupees rather than dollars ( we were able to pay in SLR)
We booked 8 standard rooms for a group. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. They resolved all issues as quickly as possible and was very helpful. I liked the room i was in and it was comfortable. It was great that someone came to clean the room everyday. Pool was clean and it was perfect for a dip and a drink from the bar. The location of the hotel was very good as it was 5 minutes walk to the beach.

PolandReally nice hotel, modern, big rooms with AC. I liked that the pool is open until late evening so we could relax after a day of exploring. The location is great, close to the main road and beaches but in a quiet area. Staff was lovely and helpful. We asked to check out at 8pm to make most of our last day in Sri Lanka and they accommodated the request for a fair fee. Breakfast was alright but could be improved with greater variety and better quality to really make the experience a 10 out of 10 (but maybe we have been spoiled by previous home stays’ hosts who cooked delicious Sri Lankan homemade food for us!)

BangladeshA bit far from the main road. Mirissa Beach is around 5-7 minutes walk from the resort. If you're not particularly looking for a beach view room, then there's no reason to dislike this place.
Loved everything about this resort. The pool was amazing, food was decent, staffs were really helpful.

BangladeshAs big as the room was, there was no common space to sit other than the beds. The bathroom is very nice, but not great for friends/ non couples as it’s quite transparent. Not feasible to use the nice bathtub either because of privacy reason.
The place is very nice with a great outdoor poolside, a spa, and the room was very spacious, the bathroom was the highlight. Staff were nice and accommodating, good location.

What we loved - great staff who went out of their way to accommodate us for various requests - perfect location, easily walkable between Secret Beach, Mirissa Beach and restaurants in town - nice, clean and comfortable rooms - in-house spa, providing good massages for decent prices - generous breakfast with a mix of western and local foods

Hong Kong- whilst the location was good, the property is located down a dark ish road (better lighting in some spaces than others - I felt completely safe walking down as a female traveller with a female friend). - be sure to check the spoons on the breakfast buffet to ensure no bugs have landed on them.
- We stayed in the double deluxe room which was extremely spacious, well decorated and modern. - All staff (check in / security / breakfast / pool etc), were extremely attentive and friendly. - Lovely and quiet pool area with 7 in pool sun beds, and at least 7 out of pool sun beds with parasols. - Nice pool bar - we had a yummy pina colada cocktail here! - Breakfast buffet was yummy - lots of Sri Lankan options which we throughly enjoyed feasting on! - Cheap spa treatments (only $20usd for a 60minute full body massage). - Good parking for our tuk tuk at the front of the hotel.

United States of AmericaNothing! All were more than our expectations.
The pool was very clean and beautiful, well maintained. I spend the night time, there was nobody, so peaceful and quiet. I got a can of beer from the bar, and it was heavenly time! The breakfast buffet (included) offer both local and western foods; papaya juice was so delicious, all food was good, a lot of fruits we had, even they serve omelet freshly cooked by request. The room in the main hotel was very stylish and clean and spacious. We wanted extend our stay, but the family room was not available for the next day, but they offered us their "villa" next to the hotel for the same price. The villa had 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, spacious dining/living area and a kitchen. The guy who workd the villa kept the garden always tidy and beautiful, and very willing to help us. We all enjoyed the spacious "detached single house villa" like an extra bonus! All stuffs were super attentive and helpful. We loved the hotel/villa so much that we extended our stay from 2 days to 4 days! Thank you so much all stuffs working there! You guys made our experience in Mirissa so wonderful!

United KingdomNot many deckchairs surrounding the pool, and only a couple in the shade. The area is not very well lit at night. We walked to the main road to find a restaurant for dinner, and on the way there and back had to use the torch on our phones to feel safe and seen by others.
The room was a decent size with a small balcony almost overlooking the pool. The shower was hot with good pressure. The pool was nice and clean. Breakfast was decent (for a buffet style). Staff were really welcoming and very helpful. Just a short walk away from the beach.

BangladeshThe main grievance I had was with the extra 20% of vat and stuff. This should have been made more apparent in the pricing. It's hidden in booking.com as other charges. I really don't like hidden charges, especially since the other hotels don't charge similar amounts.
It was very close to the beach. Easy to walk. The swimming pool is excellent and perfect for children. The breakfast was very nice.

RussiaLoss of time when moving from room to.
There were some problems with the room. We booked a room with a view of the pool, but upon arrival we checked into a room with a view of the road. After communicating with the management, this issue was resolved, we were settled in a family room, larger in area. Two nights later, they checked into the room that was originally booked for booking.
