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...).

United KingdomThe couple that run it are very very lovely people. In my opinion, that’s what makes a great stay. Not just facilities. They also made delicious breakfasts. We’ve been in Sri Lanka 2 months and I originally have family in India so you can trust my review then I say the food was excellent here when elsewhere in the country it can be a bit average. Ask for the tomato curry and hoppers for breakfast :)

United KingdomNothing! It was perfect :)
Sanjee and Ranjith were the most welcoming hosts. They made us feel so comfortable and at home. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts we had every morning and how we could watch monkeys, birds and other wildlife from our seats. It’s a 10 minute walk to the Main Street in Mirissa but Ranjith was kind enough to give us lots of lifts in his Tuk Tuk. We had a lovely, relaxing time and highly recommend a stay at Ranjith Guest. We hope to return someday soon!

South KoreaLiterally nothing! I should've booked for longer days. Hard to leave here!
The best ever! I can't recommend highly enough! I felt soooo lucky to stay here Ranjith's Homestay. I could finally eat and sleep well here like home. Sanjee and Ranjith are such kind and lovely people. It's more than hospitality. They are such geunuine and warm-hearted people. I will remember them and their homestay as Sri Lanka. I have to mention this! Sanjee is best cook!!!! Believe me! So you should not miss the chance to try her food. I kept coming back home to have her dinner! You can ask any kind of dish you like! I had chicken curry and fish! That was the best food that I had in Sri Lanka. Of course, I enjoyed all the moment of having Sri Lankan breakfast! That's the best as well. She makes all the ingredients at home. Everything is home-made and organic. So, I tried cooking class with Sanjee. It was an amazing time of learning her knowledge about ingredients and skill for cooking. I truly loved the time!!! Also, I love this local neighborhood. Beautiful trees, delightful sunshine and breeze are always there. Real local people are living around here. It takes 10 mins to beach by slow walk, which I enjoyed the most. Not that far but still could feel quiet local area. I liked everything about Ranjith's Homestay. They are my friends! I will be back for sure!!! 여기 최고입니다! 따스한 스리랑카를 느끼고 싶다면 꼭 꼭 머물러 보시길 추천합니다! 주인분 음식 솜씨가 정말 최고에요! 최고의 스리랑카 음식도 맛볼 수 있습니다.

United KingdomWe loved everything.
This is the best homestay we have stayed in. Sanjee and Ranjith were such lovely kind hosts and made us feel very welcome in their home. We loved the cookery course we did with Sanjee and ate our curries by candle light- very romantic. Our room was clean and we had fresh flowers delivered to our door every morning. The breakfasts were amazing! So varied and tasty. We booked for 4 nights and stayed for 6. We were sad to leave. Thank you to Sanjee and Ranjith for all the lovely chats we had and for making our stay so wonderful and memorable. We hope to return one day.

Switzerland-
The best hosts on our srilanka-trip! Both of them are so welcoming and warm people! Sanjee made us the best breakfast and Ranjith drove us with his tuktuk wherever we wanted to go. They help you with all you need and speak good english so it was very interesting to talk with them. They do a wonderful job and you can feel that they love what they do! The room was clean and the garden is lovely! The location is great also if you are by feet. Thanks Sanjee & Ranjith. Me and my mom enjoyed it so much and we will never forget you!

Sri Lankan Homestay at its best. Ranjith and Sanjee take care of all your requests. Although a little away from the Center, you live in a typical Sri Lankan neighbourhood. And the best is, that Ranjith is a TukTuk Driver and brings you free of charge to Mirissa Beach and can pick you up from nearby destination.

ColombiaEverything was really good.
Sanjee and Ranjith are amazing hosts! I liked that they offered rides to the beach or places around Mirissa at no price for the guests, as the place is around 15-20 minutes walk to the main road and it could be hard to walk under the strong sunlight and heat. Sanjee cooks delicious food. The house is beautiful and it is in a calm area. WiFi and AC worked really well. A really nice place to enjoy Mirissa and rest. The room was also super clean.

EstoniaNothing really.
We (family of four) really liked the warm hospitality of the hosts. They were always very kind and helpful and very easy to talk to. Also we liked the special breakfasts and dinner, which was absolutely delicious. Personally I liked the morning walks around the village and rural area. As the guest house was about 1 km from the busy main street, you could see all kind of animals, birds and other wildlife during the walks. It was really liked visiting a zoo.

Sri LankaWe just had an amazing time at Sanjee and Ranjiths Guest House. They are VERY kind people. Sanjee prefers every morning an amazing breakfast if you ask for it. Ranjith drives you with the Tuktuk in town and around if you ask. We will miss them. It's definitely worth it to visit.

United KingdomThere was nothing we disliked about our stay
We had a fabulous stay with Sangee and Ranjith- I’d really recommend their guesthouse for a Sri Lankan family experience. They were so kind and welcoming and the breakfasts were delicious. The guesthouse is on the edge of Mirissa in a beautiful, quiet, semi rural location surrounded by other Sri Lankan homes. It was a 10 min walk into town or Ranjith would take us free of charge in his tuktuk. We also did a cooking course with Sangee which we throughly recommend. This is the place to stay in Mirissa!

SpainWe loved our stay at Ranjith and Sanjee Guesthouse. Before the trip, we were in touched and they also helped us with the visa. We felt very comfortable and taken care of. They are a loving family who love taking care of their guests and provide what they want. They helped us rent a scooter, breakfast was yummy and Sanjee also prepared us dinner one night, which was amazing. We definitely recommend this place if you want to feel like you have family in Sri Lanka.

The owners are the most wonderful people on the entire island. They don't provide only a room to sleep, they provide you real Sri Lankan kindness. If you go to Mirissa, please visit them. They are worth every cent.

UkraineOf the minuses - it is not customary to use the kitchen on an ongoing basis, although if sometimes you want to cook something on your own, I think they will not refuse you.
Very hospitable and caring couple. Sanzhi creates an atmosphere of home comfort and is very attentive. Her husband Ranji is a tuk-tuk driver, so there will be no problems with transport. There is an opportunity to order a delicious home-cooked lunch, breakfast or dinner. On the way to the beach eat ATM and many food stalls with fresh fruits or vegetables. Friendly neighbors and a quiet place, if you do not count the cries of peacocks) You can ask the host about all the local attractions or book a tour around them. The room has a shower, toilet, bed, air conditioning, dryer, bedside table, mirror, mosquito net, fan. The room is cleaned at your request. Excellent wifi, works fast and without interruptions. 12 minutes walk from the beach
