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 StatesA small point: some lounge chairs and small, side tables in the open areas would be a nice option for guests.
Clean and quiet. Secure. Well maintained. Big rooms. Secluded yet highly convenient location midway between the beach and Mirissa’s main road of shops and services. Walking distance to everything. Attentive, friendly staff. The lodging is equipped with all the basic needs for a comfortable stay.

BangladeshAll Good..
They are so Good for hosting the guests. Very well maintained with air-conditioned and clean bed sheets and clean toilets. They discourage using toilet paper to save the environment. A good kitchen set-up for budget travelers and who love to do cooking by themselves. Caretakers are so nice to the guests. Wifi is good and can be used almost everywhere. Dining facilities, washing machines and a nice environment to move around and party.

United StatesI usually stay in dormitories, but they were full.... So I got an elegant single room with a king size bed... If you want to luxury of a hotel with the wonderful.vibe of an hostel I would try this option. Otherwise the dormitories are great. And the staff really is incredibly friendly. The places immaculately clean One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at.

SwitzerlandThe wifi doesn’t work well in the upstairs rooms. There are no hangers inside the shower cabinets to hang up your clothes and nothing to put your shampoo on. The door in my room squeaked quite a bit when someone opened it which woke me up whenever someone left or entered the room. It would be great if these things could be fixed.
Comfortable bunk beds, A/C in some rooms, friendly staff, one day laundry service, located on a quiet street, clean facilities.

Sri LankaAbsolutely nothing. Everything was beyond criticism.
The hostel is situated in an excellent location- close proximity to the beach, the city center and the Galle Matara main road. Everything was provided even the filtered water, the kitchen with all its utensils. The staff were friendly and caring. specially Mr. Susantha They always took an extra effort to maintain cleanliness. The washroom was the cleanest of all I've visited. I can therefore recommend it to any type of traveller to this excellent place. Keep it up and hats off to the owner and the staff.

GermanyI liked everything but the bathrooms. The showers are too open and there is no space to hang your clothes, so that you have to leave the shower to dress. That's not very comfortable. No warm water but if the weather is hot it's not a problem.
Very good hostel ! Friendly staff, clean rooms, spacious, close to beach and city centre. Liked my stay there.

Our New Year's trip was nothing short of amazing, thanks to the warm welcome we received from the staff at "The Hostel. From the moment we arrived, Manager "Mangeew" made us feel right at home, providing us with fantastic recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area. The staff's friendliness and excellent service stood out, making our stay truly enjoyable. The property caters to both solo adventurers and group travelers, offering a vibrant Hostel Vibe. Due to its popularity in the area, it's advisable to book in advance, as securing consecutive days might be a bit challenging. The prices were reasonable, with options for both AC and non-AC rooms. For those eager to explore the surroundings, the property provides affordable bike rentals, a fantastic way to navigate the area. However, the nearby beaches are also within walking distance, making it convenient for those who prefer a leisurely stroll. Overall, our experience at The Hostel was delightful, and we highly recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a welcoming atmosphere, reasonable prices, and convenient options for exploring the beautiful surroundings.

New ZealandNo toilet paper and they do have cockroach issue but not related to the cleaning, it's mord about the wild area around. Not a big deal but they should have spray all around every night. Only happened in the bathroom area during the night. Not on rooms.
Super clean and new facilities. Having a kitchen to cook is a plus.

SwitzerlandThis is the perfect hostel! I came here during off season in Mirissa and they were technically closed. They still decided to leave my booking and let me stay in the Hostel. Not only did they upgrade my room from a dorm to a private room for the same price but they made sure there was staff there at all times. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They helped me with everything and made sure I felt right at home. There’s a kitchen and filtered water free of charge available! The hostel is very clean, modern and the location is just perfect, in walking distance to shops, grocery stores, the beach, restaurants and everything else you need. Great value for money and I can’t recommend this place enough!

United KingdomThe bed sheets were a bit too small for the beds therefore wouldn't tuck under and moved around/slipped off in the night. Honestly not something that would stop me staying there again but a small thing that could be fixed easily for a better night's sleep. Also we were not given a room key so the rooms were always open. The owner asked me what improvements he could make when I left as its a relatively new hostel so I think he is still working to make it even better :)
Nice hostel, it was clean and tidy. Indoor and outdoor kitchen. Would recommend booking the aircon as it gets quite hot. Didnt have many other people staying while we were there but it will be a really nice vibe in the busy season I imagine. Good location for the town and the beach.
