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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

SpainThe mattresses need to be softer. A more compfy seated area would be fabulous too.
The best thing at Beyond Home is hands down, Rinu. She is an important human being in that accommodation. She cooks extraordinarily. Her food is super delicious and you can tell by the taste of it, it is made with so much love. Also her character plays a vital role there. She cares so much about the people staying in Beyond home, I witnessed how appreciated she is amongst the people who stay there. This place would be a home without soul without her. Thanking her from my heart for making me feel welcome, and my stay so enjoyable.

MalaysiaWe were bitten by mosquitoes every night. The room should have been provided with a mosquito spray. The toilet cistern needs a coat of paint. The bathroom walls and door requires a thorough cleaning. The pillow I slept on could have been softer.
Loved the breakfast! Loved the location! The best part of our entire stay was the in-house cook, Rinu. She was amazing! She was like a burst of sunshine and made us feel so welcome with her cheerfulness. She served us delicious breakfast every morning with a beautiful smile and we would look forward to the evening just to see her charming face! The owner, Mr.Hanif, and his daughters were very friendly. The shower in the bathroom was excellent!

IrelandThe fan regulator was not working in my room and as such, since the speed could not be adjusted, it was quite noisy. Overall cleanliness also could be improved upon.
For the international traveller, please note this is not a typical backpacker hostel. This is a women’s hostel, housing mostly Indian students who are in Kozhikode for college or internships. As such, please expect a different ambience compared to a hostel filled with travellers. The vibe is entirely different, although it is indeed a new experience and one you might want to make! The room has four bunk beds and you’ll have access to a locker. Although I didn’t avail of it, complimentary Indian breakfast is available. Rinu will be on-site all day and she is the lovely and bubbly lady taking care of the cooking. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and closet, however no sink. As for the shower itself, the pressure is not great and as such, you’ll have to use the bucket. Do not expect a room or main entrance key. The main door is always open and although the room does have a key inside, individual ones are not provided to guests. Keeping in mind that this is not a backpacker hostel, it makes sense and it felt extremely safe in general. I was in town only for a few days for the Kerala Literature Festival and spent virtually no time at the hostle other than for sleeping… however I also had the chance to meet some lovely people.

LithuaniaThe bunk bed is too short - I couldn't fully lie down on my back (I'm 168cm), and blanket is not provided. There is no sink or mirror in the bathroom, the ventilator is very noisy, the temperature in the room was hotter than outside. Lots of mosquitoes and in the morning I saw huge a cockroach in the room. I only stayed one night (instead of two) because I got very sick and I had to book a different hotel.
The hosts are very kind and helpful. It's a simple hostel mostly for local students, not an international hostel. Everyone was friendly and breakfast is offered, although I didn't take it. Good price for a short stay.

SlovakiaI can't imagine a better stay than this place. The host Rinu was endlessly caring and kind. I feel like I'm getting the tastiest foods and healthy sweets every moment. She is the best cook and host by far! Before I have never experienced this kind of atmosphere what she created in this hostel. Soooo beautiful. In addition I also met kind, helpful girls with a good sense of humor. The girls took me to the temple. I learned a lot from them about their culture and they made sure I had the best experience from this city. I recommend this place 100% . thank you with all my heart. Wish you Rinu and girls all the best and see you next time.

IndiaThe mosquitoes are many.. So it would be good if a Mosquito repellent is provided in the room. Also on one night, electricity went, so it was very hard to sleep without fan and with mosquitoes.
The location, the hospitality and the food. Reenu, the host.. Soooo caring. I couldn't believe the way they all cared for me. At night when I got late, they called me to check if everything is fine. 🤩🤩☺☺☺ I loved my stay at Beyond home. It was just like a home. I already miss that place.

This is one of the best hostel I ever stayed. There are ladies only hostel, mostly like PG type, they allow short days stay also. Best one for female split travellers, especially if you are new to city this place is good option. The rooms are so clean, spacious and well maintained. They provide tasty kerala food also here. Staffs are so friendly. They take utmost care of the people staying here. That’s the best about this place. Renu chechi and the other chechi(forgot her name) both are so good people. I loved staying here. I will definitely stay back here again.
