Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNo hairdryer in the room Small amount of mould on the wall Rooms could do with an interior spruce
The room was big, bed super comfy, spacious and had everything we needed including a fridge. The bathroom outside was a lovely touch and was HUGE! Was so great to be able to use the pool club for free, and a discount on drinks and food was even better. It was lovely to relax there after a day on the beach and after surfing in the morning. Staff were all so friendly and on hand to help at all times. Location was great, short walk to the town and the beach.

United KingdomNothing really, only down side if I was being picky not much space to chill around the pool
It’s very quirky and a great location. Do not be put off by maps as it looks far from the beach but it is only across the road. Banana bunks doesn’t have a pool as such but you can cross the road to Petti Petti and use theirs as they work together. This was one of my favourite places to stay in SriLanka as it was so quirky. We stayed in the private room with our 6 year old son. Property was clean

GermanyThe pictures are slightly misleading. The pool is part of the beach club and felt uncomfortable to be used without purchasing items. The breakfast was also quite disappointing as there were lack of choices.
The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The location was amazing too, close to both parrot rock and coconut hill.

SpainAs any visitor in mirissa, main purpose of our visit was enjoying the beach. The rooms are part of a beachclub next to the property. Even the beachclub is next to the beach, they didnt have sunbeds or common areas for guests to enjoy the beach or the swimming pool. It feels the beachclub is not for guests. They even complained of us bringing the hotel towels to the beach.
The room was good. Big and cute.

United KingdomIt didn’t feel like a hostel with shared area so much… maybe that’s my experience. No kitchen to use/eating area. Hang out spaces outside of dorms but fairly more personal than mixed..
Spacious dorm rooms and great shower/bathroom. Pool and beach is nice with great breakfast and drinks.

AustraliaThe beds are made of wood and were incredibly creaky- to which kept everyone up at night. There also is no privacy curtain which is unusual in a hostel. The cupboards to store our belongings were really hard to get into.
The aesthetic of the room was absolutely beautiful. It featured an outdoor shower which felt incredibly tropical and luxe for a hostel. Towels were provided.

GermanyEverything! The hostel rooms are 100m away from the beach club and the street which makes it really quiet and you feel like you’re surrounded by jungle. To be honest in the beginning we did not like the separation of hostel and pool but after a little time it was nice. The beach part is very beautiful and relaxing compared to Mirissa public beach. Close to the coconut island and parrot island. You can just walk to Mirissa town or if you’re lazy take a TukTuk. Two streets away is a great massage place for 4000lkr (Bandora), and 200m away is a good restaurant “simple” with great kottu

United StatesThere seemed me be a theme with miscommunication about the pool/restaurant that you have access to at the across the street. It's NOT apart of the property. There always seems to be confusion on weather your allowed use it or not. I was also offered 25% off of all food and drinks when I checked in only to be charged full price after I finished my meal. The front desk apologized but it didn't really fix that fact that I still paid full price. It's just something to be aware of.
The dorm rooms, beds, and bathroom were great. Plenty of space in the 6 room dorm. Plenty of room away from your top bunk mate. The entrance was also beauty with lust trees and places to sit. I checked out early and need to catch the bus and the front desk walked me to the bus stop that was undisclosed at 645. I really appreciated it becuase I wouldn't have been able to find it or flag down the driver. So I'm extremely grateful for that.

Sri LankaNo seating facilities inside the rooms. It was very uncomfortable since we have reserved a family room and five members were there. Had to take few chairs from outside. Security guy was very helpful and he is the only one i saw throughout my stay apart from appearence of manager for less than a minute.
Like the entrance area with lot of greenery.
