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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomBreakfast varied each day but they were happy to welcome suggestions and requests.
Loved our stay here - lovely room with the arched balcony. Very clean and everything worked as expected. Lovely large bed and a great retreat off the main area to unwind. Only a 5-10 min walk to the beach and all the restaurants. Very safe and secure and also safe to walk. Definitely recommend. Host was lovely and accommodating- they live on the ground floor and were always available if needed.

United KingdomA bedside light might have been useful.. But otherwise it was fantastic.
I never give 10's. But this place gets mine now. Just behind the beach but away from the very busy main road. It was a lovely 3 day stay where I wish we could stay longer. Spacious bedroom good aircon & roomy bathroom with lots of hot water. Our room was facing the rear and very peaceful. Only disturbed by the peacocks in the morning! Highly recommend 👌

Brave Resort was excellent, close enough to the beach and food, but far enough that it was quiet and peaceful. Rangana and his wife were super accommodating and helpful, arranging tuktuks, snorkel trips, and even helped us with our souvenir shopping. Breakfast was really good as well. We would definitely stay again!

NetherlandsNothing really
The location is perfect. Far enough from the city centre of Mirissa to not be bothered by loud music, but close enough to walk to the centre or the two beaches (Mirissa beach and Secret beach). There is a different entrance for the guests so you don’t have to walk through the lovely family’s home which provides you with some privacy. The host is very welcoming and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast was always served in time and was different every day. The room has airconditioning which you really need as it can be hot in Mirissa.

Location was only steps from the whale watching office and boat launch.the breakfast was large with perfectly cooked hoppers, yogurt, dessert, tea and fresh juice. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help you. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with a new firm mattress and the best pillows so far on our trip.

United KingdomThe room itself is quite simple (as the photos suggest) but don't let it put you off, it's a great little place to stay!
Brave Resort is the perfect place to stay for a quick trip to Mirissa! It's really well located, a short walk to the beach and two minutes from the whale-watching offices and main harbor. The room was clean, the bed was huge and the wifi and air-con both worked well. The host is an incredibly kind man who will go out of his way to help you with anything you need. He kindly took us to our next location in Unawatuna and suggested lots of other sites along the way. The welcome drink was delicious and the breakfast was fantastic

GermanyThe braveresort is a lovely homestay offering 4 rooms, which are very clean and well looked after. The AC worked well, so did the wifi. We were welcomed with welcome drinks by the host, who is a kind and helpful person. We enjoyed chatting with him, listening to insights about life in Sri Lanka. We especially are grateful to him for arranging a scooter rental for us, which is quite a challenge right now. He also drove us to our next destination himself with his tuk tuk for a reasonable price. For breakfast, he made Mango lassis everyday which are to die for (thankfully he shared the recipe with us).He changes up the breakfast every day: omelette, pancakes, toast,… The location is perfect: a bit away from the noisy mainroad, but close enough to reach restaurants and bars by foot. We enjoyed our stay very much and can’t recommend staying here more!
