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...).

Sri LankaWe had a fantastic stay at Kismet Rest Mirissa for two days! The location is absolutely perfect—right in the centre of all the main attractions, making it easy to explore Mirissa. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we felt right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Mirissa!

United KingdomThe air conditioning unit was very noisy.
The apartment we had was large and comfortable. Kismet is centrally located near to the beach and many restaurants, cafes and shops. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. There is a large fridge and kettle and the shower was good.

BelgiumI would appreciate an offer for breakfast or so but the kitchen is not open during a low season.
Staff was very nice and booked a whale-watching tour for me for wit fair price (tuk-tuk to/from the port included. Location is within a short walking distance to "city" beaches-5min or "secret beach"-20min. My stay was during a low season so I was almost the only quest and the place was very quiet.

RomaniaNo mosquito net. No hot water (but I did not ask for it). The cleanliness (seams I had this problem at almost all properties). Would of been nice to have a kettle and glasses/cups, and some dishes in the room, to be able to prepare a snack and a tea.
Location is good, beach is close by, so are shops and restaurants, and public transportation. Not on the main road, so quiet. It was still off season (this is not the owners fold - just for info!) so the restaurant was not open yet, but I got a tea for breakfast, on the house. Good AC. God WIFI.

NetherlandsNothing really.
This was one of the nicest hotels we stayed in during our three weeks in Sri Lanka. The thing we enjoyed most was the garden. There are several seats where you can relax under the trees. The room is simple but good: comfortable bed, nice shower, spacious. The staff is very kind and always available for recommendations of things to do in the area. The location is perfect, in a street with nice bars and restaurants, close to everything.
