Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaNice place to stay The beach is about 300 metres from resort across rocks but worth the walk as plenty of turtles about. Breakfast is good with western and SL food. Lunch a bit limited so go into Marissa. Susan and Inshan are great tuktuk drivers

United KingdomOne of the most relaxing spots, facing the sea with people surfing! It’s a heaven for people who enjoy surfing. There is a diving/surfing/snorkling/whale watching/bike renting centre right next to it which we found so convenient. The owner of the place, David, is an amazing host and staff, absolutely superb! Thank you so much for having us ❤️

United StatesThe staff was friendly and helpful, always available when needed. The facility had snorkeling gear for use and a beach just down from the hotel with excellent snorkeling. Go early before the rush. It was nice to not be in downtown Marissa, and a little quieter. Town was a 20 minute walk of 5 minute Tuk-Tuk ride and was easy to get to.

Location is outside of Mirissa which is perfect and short 500lkr tuk tuk ride for restaurants.The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. Breakfast provided and lunches purchased were superb and reasonable based on the quality. You can sit and eat breakfast watching surfers and the waves crashing The best bit however is it is situated a 5min walk along the beautiful coastline to a picture perfect beach where you have a good chance of seeing and swimming with Turtles The owners have created a place of serenity in line with its name. Looking forward to return

SwitzerlandCalm location, away from the mainstream tourism. You can swim with turtles, or have diving, snorkeling, surf lessons... Restaurant is a bit overpriced for what it is, but still a good option if you just want to stay there. Spacious rooms, kind stuff. It was a good choice.

This hotel was so chilled. It was right on a private beach and we snorkeled out front before a delicious breakfast each morning. Snorkeling gear and surfboards were available at no charge. The resort was barefoot. The room was large, tasteful yet simple decor and very clean. No TV or music. Just the sound of the ocean crashing on the reef out front. The owners - David and Yao - welcomed us as if we were their personal house guests.

Very friendly staff and hosts, beautiful location, ten minute ride to the city centre. Clean and comfortable spacious rooms with beautiful balconies. Quiet. There is fairly secluded beach with not many waves, in walking distance. Breakfast and restaurant were very good, although not a lot of options in the breakfast menu.

United KingdomThe property itself was gorgeous. As it says on the tin it is on a reef so accessing the sea for a swim was a little tricky but only a short ride away from a beach to swim in.
The rooms were beautifully clean, spacious and had incredible views. The staff and owners were super friendly and thoughtful, arranging a cake for my birthday! They assisted with booking taxis and had great local knowledge. The breakfast and food menu was 10/10, varied and delicious. Would definitely go back!

Everything to like about Mirissa Reef from the peace and tranquility , great comfortable beds to the lovely staff. This is a great find away from the bustle of Mirissa beach, but close enough to get to. It was our first stay in Sri Lanka on our trip and we couldn’t have liked it more.

The room was really spacious and overlooked the sea, the staff were very helpful and informative. The breakfast was great and the fish burger was great treat whilst watching the surfing. The Tuk Tuk driver Zshan was always on hand to help with early morning starts and multiple journeys into Mirissa. The hotel was very clean and the cleaning service provided was amazing with multiple options as well as a time for your convenience, a really neat touch from the hotel.
