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 are 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 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.).

Sri LankaThe price of mini bar and spa should be revised.
The room was with a beach view and unexpected. They have arranged breakfast buffet which was worth the pay. The price of dine in dinner was also very affordable and they had varieties. The hotel and room was very clean. The pool is never crowded. I would like to stay a day more, but Mirissa doesn't have that much tourist spot to enjoy.

Sri LankaStarting from the security at the front gate, everyone is very welcoming. The vibe is incredibly comfortable. The location is stunning and attracts surfers. For travelers, it's convenient to cover all areas from Galle to Matara from here. Though I'm not a surfer, watching them from the window of my room was so much fun. Even during crowded times, there was no rush. The staff is well-organized and very friendly. The breakfast buffet has few options, but there's nothing to complain about; every item is delicious. Moreover, the dinner and other menu items are very good. The taste is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. The pool is never crowded.

Breakfast has a great variety to choose from. The resort is on the beach with a great view of the ocean. It was great to sit on the balcony and watch the surfers while enjoying a morning coffee. The pool is clean, big and has a section for children.

It's right next to the ocean and surfing points. Where other villas suffer from water and electricity shortages- the Insight has no water breaks and is always welcoming. Staff is friendly and rooms are clean.

United KingdomAs soon as you get to the hotel to check in, you are presented with a double sides A4 paper with all kind of rules ranging from asking you not to hang clothes outside the balcony to not to wear normal shorts to the pool. I do not know if this hotel has had a lot of bad experiences in the past but found this a bit off putting as we felt like we had checked in to a military dormitory where you get a "code red" for minor offences rather than a hotel. The Christmas day buffer that was charged at 7000 Rupees (22USD) per person was an absolute joke and such a disappointment. For that kind of money we were expecting fresh seafood and all but was presented with some white fish and calamari and the standard rice and curry.
Excellent location as the hotel is located right on the beach that caters bother for surfers as well as snorkelers providing you are a good swimmer. The white sand beach is also good for walking. The swimming pool is large enough to relax and swim providing the hotel is not too busy. Staff, just like most Sri Lankan hotels, are very helpful and are always happy to help.

New ZealandBooked online, and then immediately got aggressive whatsapp messages saying I had to pay a compulsory Christmas fee of $50usd. I wasn't happy as no mention of the dinner prior to booking. I sat and watched the hotel empty out of guests leaving, who clearly didnt want to pay up. Dinner and show not worth the money..
Fantastic location near surf beaches, amazing views, clean and comfortable hotel. Friendly staff.

NetherlandsI think, due to the location it could have more of a laidback surf vibe in stead of a resort vibe with rules and restriction signs everywhere. The thing is, you don’t feel those rules being forced by the staff as they are super mega friendly. So this is more a recommendation that I don’t think the resort needs these signs. And just enjoy the perfect location in front of a perfect surf break.
Great location and super friendly staff. Everything is super clean and really feels as a resort

SwedenNoisy, ac only worked one out of two nights. Lot of staff looking over you, good service for people who prefer that but not my preference, like to have a move chilled vibe. Same with security guards. Pool was closed one morning around 9 due to cleaning, weird time to clean. Overall felt like it's trying to be a luxury resort but details are just not there unfortunately.
Location is great, nice with pool and beach access. Breakfast buffee was good.
