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.).

SloveniaIt’s actually not that much about the hostel but i ended up (female) in a room with 3 men..which was a bit akward. Also one man was snoring whole nights and those nights were sleepless for me :/
Location is top. Liked family dinner and manager approach.

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.

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 :)

United KingdomWhen we asked for towels- they smelt of petrol, then when we asked for new ones, the towels still smelt of petrol. This is annoying because we needed to rent these out. The staff were not super friendly or helpful when asked for different activities in Mirissa.
Comfy bed, we had our own plug sockets and the shower was good but it leaked the whole bathroom. The AC was good and I liked the option of girls only 4-bed dorm.

IndiaThe caretaker did not have any information about anything and communication was the main problem. Also in this price, they don’t provide towels and you need to rent them for extra amount.
Walkable distance to the tourist attraction. Cleanliness and facilities were maintained well.

PolandIt’s so close to the street that it makes it a bit noisy (I use earplugs). There is a common area where you can rest/talk/work but it doesn’t have ac so anyway to prefer doing it from your bed 😂
Beds are just awesome. AC in the room works well. Staff is super helpful. It’s also veeeery close to the beach and everything you need

Good location across the road from Mirissa beach. Comfy beds, with airconditioning which was great. Good sized storage lockers to keep your belongings (including large bags).

SpainSometimes at night you can hear a bit the music from the beach parties but I think this happens in all accommodations close to the beach
Very good location and great service. It has a great atmosphere for those that want to meet people but don’t want to be at a party hostel. The rooms were clean and had everything needed. At first I was going to stay 1 night but I ended up staying 3 nights because it was really nice
