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 KingdomRooms were basic but were perfect for what we needed it for. They were extremely clean and location of the accommodation was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and street or main restaurants. Staff helped us with booking a taxi from here to Matara bus station at a really reasonable price. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We booked this accommodation at the very last minute, and it was absolutely no problem. The owner’s brother took care of us right away, making us feel welcome from the start. The place is exceptionally clean and perfectly located, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable—truly a hidden gem! Highly recommended!

GeorgiaWifi working and it is nice speed if compare with other Sri Lanka (~20-30mb), very spacious and clean room. Closet, desk, two chairs inside. Free kitchen and kitchenware for the guests. Cleaning is weekly, but brothers (owners) can help with everything, they were available whole stay offline or on whatsup. Worth for money, we stayed here 1 week and decided to prolong, because of this is the place you don’t want to leave! Thanks for the beautiful 2 weeks Cocoon!!

CanadaIt’s a little hard to find at first. Google maps brings you to the exact spot but the sign for the place is hidden in the trees across the street.
The place was in a great location. Very close to the main strip but on a quieter street. About a 7 minute walk to the beach. The host upgraded our room for free. We had access to a small shared kitchen including a fridge and freezer. The AC worked well. The host arranged an airport transfer for us at a better rate than what I found online. The host always responded to messages promptly.

AustraliaThere are a few reviews mentioning mosquitos - an unavoidable element of the location of this hostel with lovely nature on the property is that there are some mosquitos present outside - the room had a good mosquito net and they weren’t a problem.
We moved here from another property within Mirissa that wasn’t what it was advertised - the owner was able to accommodate us at short notice, great location walking distance to all of the main cafes/restaurants, near to our favourite (Junction Cafe and Gedara Curry). Really clean, excellent air con and quiet at night (road fairly busy until 7-8pm but not much after this) We booked into the budget double room which didn’t have a fridge, but staff were more than happy to let us use fridge over the road in the kitchen

PolandNot much really. Not so easy to see the sign from the street when you first arrive. There are mosquitos storming the wash room (please add a net in the window). The additional whale watching trip we bought was in an affordable price, but took too long and we didn't get to see any whales (just a few bottle-nose dolphins). In general we didn't like Mirissa that much (too touristic for our taste), which obviously is not host's fault.
Clean room with good A/C and mosquito net. Nice cupboard and a table in the room. The bed was very comfortable. The wash room was ok, well-kept but with some mosquitos (no net in the window). There is a kitchen with fridge, stove and a kettle. It is a good location, a bit remote, not at the loud main street, but still in a walking distance from the beach. Good price/worth ratio. Very nice and friendly owner and his brother who helps to run the place.

United KingdomThe room was spacious, modern, and clean. It had AC and a fan, and both worked great. Location was excellent, right in the centre of everything. The owner and his brother were brilliant! We had trouble with a taxi (booked through somebody else) when we were moving to Udawalawe, and they sorted a large van for us within 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this place.
