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 StatesStayed in the 4 bed female dorm for 4 nights and had a great time. The hostel is steps away from the beach and walking distance to some really great restaurants. The room I stayed in had its own bathroom and AC which was major compared to the hangover in Ella. The beds were comfortable and the room was cleaned each day I was there. The family dinner was great the 2 times it happened but the pregame before the “pub crawl” could have been better. It was very boring (card games/jenga) and did not really hype up or get everyone in the mood or the night. The parties in the area are a hit or miss depending on the type of music you enjoy. Other than that, the workers are very kind and provided me with information on how to get back to negombo.

United KingdomThe manager Sarath is the best host you could ask for. He really likes to look after his guests in a fun and comfortable environment. I would highly recommend staying here. Location wise you only have to cross the road to gain access to the beach, ideal for those relaxing days. There are organized nights out to the doctors house from the hostel which brings a fun party aspect as well if that is what you also look for.

ChileI liked everything about this hostel. It is very well located, just some steps away from the beach; the rooms are comfortable; so are the beds in the dorms. The managers of this hostel are great people too. Nilhan and Sarath run this hostel very well; they are constantly making sure everything is ok and are very sociable and willing to help. They even organized a game night at the hostel one Friday and then a shared dinner one Saturday. I met many fellow travelers at this hostel and would definitely stay here again when in Mirissa! 10 out of 10!

TurkeyThe hostel owner was incredibly welcoming, and you could always have free tea and coffee whenever you wanted, which I rarely saw in hostels during my time in Sri Lanka. There was a great social vibe, and we had a lot of fun together. All the main attractions were within walking distance, and the room, bathroom, and toilet were all clean. The bed was comfortable as well.

One of the best hostels I've been to. The staff is just amazing, really nice and helpful. Location is perfect, just across the road from the beach. Good place for socializing, they sometimes organise activities and meals ( which were also amazing, the curry buffet was incredible). The rooms were clean, mattress was very comfortable.

Basic room in a sweet, family style hostel! Perfect locations just a minute from the beach, shops and restaurants close by. Sarath and Nilhan are taking good care of the guests! They hosted a family dinner for us and arranged for pre drinks and transportation to a party. Laundry service, easy access to rent scooters and contact to surf schools possible :)
