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.).

SloveniaDespite the AC it was too hot to have a blanket on the bed. When we asked for a sheet for the 2nd night, we got it though. It wasn't a good feeling when we asked to have breakfast at 8.15 because we needed to catch a train and the lady/owner wasn't pleased and tried to insist to serve it at 8.30 (it was only a 15 min difference).
Great location in a peaceful area very near the beaches.

IndiaNothings as such. Everything was good for the price given.
Good for family stay also for singles. Room is decent enough for the stay. Close proximity to the attractions within 2-3 Kms. If required the owner will also arrange the rental vehicle(2 Wheeler) for an efficient price. Overall stay was good. The host was very helpful.

New ZealandThe most memorable thing about this place is the wonderful family that run the place. So welcoming and friendly. We had many nice chats and played a local board game in the evenings. Often asked if I needed a tea or coffee. Great included breakfast. I also went for a surf lesson with their son. 1 minute to a small beach where the fishing boats launch and 10 mins walk to Mirisa beach.

We found a Home in Mirissa—Sanda Hiru stole our hearts 💛 We stayed at Sanda Hiru Guesthouse for two nights, and what we took back was far more than just memories—it felt like family. The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully comfortable. Every detail reflected the care they put into hosting. Breakfasts were not only delicious but served with such love—you could taste it in every bite. This was packed for us to have it in our train journey when we going from Mirissa to Colombo so tweak it accordingly - The special treats like freshly made pancakes and those addictive coconut toffees were the sweetest surprise! And when we mentioned we wanted to try Sri Lankan masala, they went out of their way to get it for us. Honestly, who does that these days? But what truly made it special was them—the people. Genuine, kind-hearted, and full of warmth. We laughed together, shared stories, and created moments we’ll always carry with us. They didn’t just host us—they welcomed us like one of their own. We can’t wait to go back and stay with them again. If you’re heading to Mirissa and want more than just a place to sleep—go to Sanda Hiru. You’ll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.

I had my best time with Damith's family, they are so kind, so welcoming and such a beautiful family, I felt like at home! The guesthouse is in a very quiet street not far from the bus stand and near many restaurants, 20 min walk to the secret beach and near the harbour for the whale watching excursions. Rooms are very big, have AC, hot water and a big mosquito net and a desk if you need to work. Internet is working and you have a little table and chair outside the room if you want to enjoy some time in the garden. Breakfast is delicious (best pancakes 🥞 😋) and I really enjoyed playing board games with them. Also they have a cute dog! I highly recommend staying here, maybe the highlight of my trip in Sri Lanka!
