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...).

Sri LankaWe had a wonderful stay at Mirissa Harbour View Hotel. The property is clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located near the harbor, making it incredibly easy to access the whale-watching boats. The owner was exceptionally kind and helpful, always going out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and I look forward to visiting this place again. Highly recommended!

CanadaBathroom was spotlessly clean ⁶ however it had a musty smell. That is the only reason I did not give this property 10 out of 10.
Wonderfully hospitable host who is truly kind. She made me feel very welcome. Spotlessly clean room and excellent location right beside the harbour. Price included a wonderful breakfast. If you are in Mirissa to do a whale watching tour, book this place first! The owner's family owns three whale watching boats and can get you a really good deal on a tour. However you have to be staying here to receive that deal.

UkraineThere's a road near the property and every day at 6am it becomes busy and noisy.
The woman that runs the place was very kind and attentive. We asked her to cook a certain thing for us in the morning which she gladly did. Every problem we had she genuinely helped us to solve. The room was clean and had all we needed. The breakfast was tasty. I liked roti especially. They were delicious. The bed was comfortable and the water in the shower was really hot.

United KingdomOnly constructive criticism is about breakfast: though absolutely super delicious, a bit of variety, rather than having the same every day, would have been a bonus.
I loved my time in this guesthouse, at the point that, having initially booked 3 nights, I have ended up staying longer. My room was simple, but clean, with AC and a fully functioning shower, unlike other places visited in the country. Sojour is a great host and she made sure that I was always happy with everything. I felt like home here, and also very safe. It was great to chat with Sojour. The best thing for me was the delicious breakfast overlooking the port. There are other places located by the main beach however, this place is only a short walk from Mirissa town, moreover, it is in a great location to go and see the whales, which Sojour arranged for me at a competitive price. Also, the place is close to the Secret Beach, which is a great place to swim and snorkle and it was my favourite beach.

The house is overlooking harbour only few minutes away from the beach, were you can enjoy the view on busy port while having a tasty breakfast. Great value for a price and wonderful hosts!

Its a perfect location if someone visiting Mirisa for a couple of days, as it next to the harbor, this is where the Whale Watching tour begins. Close to the Secret beach and other beaches are not far either.
