Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaLocation is about 10-15 minutes outside of Marissa, easy walk and felt safe at all times of the day. From the hotel can walk along the beach through a trail to Coconut Hill; along the way there are some beautiful secluded spots to watch the sunset. Room was on the smaller side but had nice private balcony, everything was clean, toiletries provided. Filtered water available. Delicious breakfast - western or Sri Lankan.

United KingdomBe aware that this is about a 25 walk (or short/cheap Tuk Tuk ride on PickMe) from the main beach and town area of Mirissa. While you can get to the sea just by the hotel, at mid - high tide the sea is right up and it's not really possible to walk towards the town so you'll need to go up to and along the main road. But that does mean it's quieter and it was no inconvenience to us at all.
A bit out of town (which is why we chose it), this is a lovely, friendly, quiet place with very comfortable rooms, a great roof terrace, and a small pool on the ground floor for cooling off in. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Added bonus, where you can get to the sea just by the property, adults turtles were feeding just by the shore. We were told they turn up there everyday about 4/5pm so it may be worth a look (though see below about limited access for walking on the beach there ... which may be why the turtles are such regular guests!)

Wonderful Stay Near Coconut Tree Hill We had a fantastic stay at this guesthouse! The location was excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Coconut Tree Hill. The hosts were incredibly attentive and always available when needed, making us feel very welcome. The room was perfect for our needs—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Breakfast was a highlight, especially the delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. We also had dinner there one evening, which was equally tasty. While the beachfront has rocks instead of sand, this wasn’t an issue as beautiful sandy beaches were just a 15-minute walk away. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend this guesthouse!

It's the perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy the sea and relax. The property itself is spotless, with every area being clean and well-maintained. The staff were also a highlight—super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their hospitality truly made the stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great, relaxing getaway!

IndiaPlease note, the property doesn’t have an elevator but it has only three floors (including ground). It is not a disability-friendly property.
PearlDrop Waves is an amazing find for anyone who is looking at experiencing Mirissa and Sri Lankan hospitality without hurting the wallet. The sea view from the rooms is really nice and each room has a balcony. The staff led by Aerang is super friendly and helpful. Cook’s Sri Lankan preparations are extraordinary and authentic. The kitchen packed us breakfast at 5:30 am because we would have missed breakfast. The property has a nice pool with filtered water. Walk to the Secret Beach is just 50 m. The rooftop also has a great view of the beach and sunbathing seats.

United KingdomThe photographs of the hotel on the website were misleading, taken from the top floor room showing a sea view. We had a limited view of the sea and the beach within walking distance is not suitable, just very large rocks to climb over. Best beaches are in Mirissa.
The manager was very helpful and could organise anything we were interested in visiting, he arranged our Whale boat trip as soon as we arrived at a reasonable cost, which we really enjoyed. The breakfast was good western style with eggs, toast & fresh fruit. The bed was very comfortable & air conditioning worked well and so did the wifi. There was always a tuk tuk ready to take us into Mirissa where there was an abundance of places to eat on the beach. The sea food was so fresh, The Salt restaurant had the best fish we’ve tasted in Sri Lanka.
