Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyNothing, our stay was perfect! :-)
Simple Place is truly magical! My family (wife and two small children) and I had a ground floor apartment. It doesn't have a kitchen, but otherwise has everything needed for daily needs. The bathroom is spacious and modern. Particularly noteworthy is the warm light color of the lamps, which can also be dimmed for a cozy atmosphere. This is rather rare in Sri Lanka. The king-size beds are huge and comfortable. The outdoor area with the beach virtually right outside the door is an absolute highlight! Everything is insanely lovingly designed and in the evening discreetly and very atmospherically illuminated. The beach was a bit wild during our stay for swimming, but very beautiful. The sound of the sea was quite wonderful. Simple Place is also well located. To Mirissa or to Matara it is only a few minutes by tuk tuk. The icing on the cake are the hosts Nalin and Chamila with their adorable children! It is an indescribably loving family. We could turn to them for all our questions and needs. Nalin explored the area with us and their children borrowed toys for our children. They even offered us fresh coconuts regularly. It was not an average host-guest relationship, but rather friendship. We thank the warm family for this unforgettable vacation in beautiful Simple Place! Please stay as you are. Hope to see you again soon! :-)

PolandThe name says it all it is a simple place, don't expect luxury. Expect magnificent atmosphere, friendly hosts and beautiful surroundings. The villa is nice if you're travelling in a bigger group, but if you can try to get the rooms downstairs, they're facing the sea and are very comfortable.
The whole place is great, the room, the garden and the beach are just perfect. Quiet, nicely arranged and comfortable. Big, delicious breakfasts. Amazing friendly hosts. Clean, big room with furniture and fridge. Location is ok, there are some shops and a restaurant nearby, but to have some selection you need to go to the Mirissa center ~10minutes with tuk tuk. Beach has pretty rough waves, but you can find some relatively calm parts of the beach that allow swimming. All in all great place to relax, slow down and focus on beautiful surroundings. Once getting here after few weeks jumping around Sri Lanka we've extended our stay as long as our flight back home permitted us.

LithuaniaWe was staying here with two babies. Was really comfortable, because there is a ground flour and realy big windows. In the evening you can spend time in garden and see sleeping kids. Also the owners were so helpful. They helped us with planing tours to safari and blue whales watching. Also we order here breakfast and dinner. The food was delicious and fresh. Mirissa city centre not far, just 5 minutes with tuc tuc (price 2 euros). In beach really big waves, so its good for surfing. if you want to swim you need to go about 10 minutes. We recomend this place.

LatviaThe place and people where so nice in general, that the small things I didnt like is not important, I want to give 10 out of 10 anyway:)
If you like to stay in very local place with real familiy it is the best place. The owners was super kind and my kids played all time with their kids. There is also good swimming beach 2 min walk from the place. The owners cooked as nice dinner and the daal we had one morning was the best daal I ever had (and I had a lot of them:)).
