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...).

HungaryThere was a bit of confusion about breakfast, which might be because the hotel is pretty new. Though the size of the breakfast could be a bit bigger and would be great if it would include coffee AND juice, not only one of them.
The hotel (including the room) and restaurant is really beautiful. The staff is friendly. There's a nice private beach belonging to the hotel.

United KingdomA few issues with our stay.... There is NO WiFi! There wasn't a fridge or mirror in the room, it's advertised as Mirissa but it's actually just a six bedroom hotel on the main road 15 mins tuk tuk journey away. It's also a red flag beach so not able to go in the sea. However... the main problem with our stay was the staff! I am appalled to say that I walked into our room to find the cleaner going through my suitcase! She had unzipped my case, unzipped my travel wallet and was caught with her hands in my handbag! I have never experienced anything like it... absolutely disgraceful! I called the manager straight away and he (and all the other staff members) came to the room and just stood there! The cleaner broke down in tears... sadly I don't feel they were tears of remorse, more tears that she'd been caught! It made the final day of our stay very uncomfortable... couldn't wait to leave. I have emailed the hotel manager & the managing director but as expected, I have not had a reply! If you choose to stay here.... be warned!!! Keep all your valuables with you at all times. It's so sad because everywhere else that we stayed in Sri Lanka was wonderful.... just finished our trip with a really bad experience.
The property is brand new.... however, lots of finishing off to do! The furniture is lovely & it all looks very nice.

Sri LankaThe breakfast portion provided was insufficient, and unfortunately, the manager on duty was quite rude. Despite the check-out time being clearly stated as between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM, we were asked to check out exactly at 11:00 AM, which was both inconvenient and unprofessional.
The beachfront was beautiful and well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. The staff were warm.

Czech RepublicThe accommodation was recently opened; we found it on Booking and Instagram, where the image of the place looked "perfect." We stayed in a room with a child (city view). The view was into a completely noisy street (highway), blocked by wooden planks. Opposite the hotel is a cemetery. Next to the hotel is a disgusting building and construction mess, absolutely dangerous for children. There is a restaurant and bar "Zephyr" next door (loud music every evening). Room: Inside the room, there is air conditioning that sucks in the stench from the street (vehicle fumes, etc.) and fried food smells. It is totally toxic! You can’t sleep in the room, let alone relax. According to the description on Booking, the room was supposed to include the following amenities (crossed-out ones were not provided). The rooms were not clean (not mopped, only swept). The toilet and everything else were not clean; we even found a cockroach in the room. We immediately filed a complaint and requested to be moved to a room with a sea view or another room that had a closet so our things wouldn’t be lying on the floor. It was promised that this would be resolved the next day. An endless communication with the hotel followed, and we agreed that for the safety of our children and for hygiene reasons, we would leave the hotel, and the hotel would refund us for 3 nights. Everything was confirmed, but at check-out, the manager changed his mind, and we spent hours arguing about the resolution. Eventually, they told us they would not return anything and we could file an online complaint via Booking. One child had a stomach virus after checkout and one adult as well. We've been in Sri Lanka for a longer period, and this is the first time something like this has happened. We do not recommend staying here at all.

LithuaniaIf you're looking for a stylish, serene getaway with stunning sea views, Serendipity Hotel in Sri Lanka is the perfect choice. The hotel offers a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere that allows you to truly unwind. What sets it apart is the exceptional service, particularly from the manager and the owner, who are both incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive to every need. They go out of their way to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The location, with its breathtaking views of the ocean, is ideal for anyone seeking relaxation and tranquility. The addition of yoga sessions makes it even more special, allowing you to rejuvenate both your body and mind. Whether you're in the Mirissa area for a peaceful retreat or to explore the surroundings, Serendipity Hotel offers the perfect base for your stay. Highly recommended!

Mirissa
Sri LankaWe were welcomed with warm hospitality and a laid-back yet luxurious vibe from the moment we arrived. For those who love a hearty start, the avocado toast with poached eggs and the Sri Lankan-style dhal with coconut roti were absolute standouts. The restaurant and cocktail bar were highlights of our stay! It's a beach front property. If you're looking for a stylish, relaxing, and truly special place in Kamburugamuwa, Serendipity Mirissa is a must-visit! We can't wait to return.
