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.).

IndiaApart from the complimentary breakfast, the additional food ordered was expensive. However, the food was really good. It would be great if the breakfast is made available for the occupants who want to leave early morning or can provide English breakfast as an alternative.
The ambiance of the homestay is very comforting. We felt at home. We were able to have a relaxing vacation with family members. Though the location was a bit far from the city, being away from the crowd was pleasant. The hosts and Balaji were really helpful at all times. The host has put a lot of effort with their creativity to make this homestay very welcoming. I highly recommend this stay in Kodaikanal.

IndiaOwners should definitely concentrate on hygiene, lot of things needs to improve, mats, bed covers, blankets not at all clean!! food is pathetic, complimentary breakfast was only idly dosa paddu and Pongal (Pongal was served oly one day) , the batter was so sour, shows the quality; food that we ordered were expensive; quantity not at all worth the money, taste- staff came back to us after half an hr the food was served asking should we re cook since the rice is not cooked properly , its clearly undrestood here, is very expensive better to avoid the food here; if the rooms were so unhygienic i wonder how the kitchen would be; while checkout it was raining the staff dint even bother to offer help with our luggage nor offered a umbrella, atleast dint greet us!!! We handed over the key, his reaction was OKAY sir! Shows the service; Overall it is definitely not worth the price, very expensive, you will find a better, peaceful place for lesser price.
Beautiful location; far from all the chaos.

IndiaEverything about this place was amazing—the ambiance, the food, the handmade art, the vibe, the staff, and the owners. I booked this trip seeking peace, quiet, and great hospitality, and it delivered on every front. Tucked away from the bustle yet easily accessible, it was the perfect escape. I especially loved their cozy lounge setting, where I enjoyed my morning tea, sometimes in the company of beautiful peacocks. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a getaway like mine!

IndiaThe place is out of town and hence peaceful and away from the crowd. We had our own vehicle and hence staying away from the centre was not an issue. The place is beautifully decorated. The rooms are neat and clean , beds are comfy and big. Staff is excellent and very helpful. We had veg food which was great. Special shoutout to the very friendly staff Balaji. He made our stay very comfortable. Host Arun and Nikita are very good and friendly. Arun gave us tips on the nearby places to visit. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kodaikanal.

Qatarpaid Rs 5000 (4500 plus taxes ) for the room . It’s a room with a big terrace /balcony . There were no streams behind the house . It was dried up . So paying that money for a room in a house it doesn’t worth it . They should have reduced the price for off season . We moved to another property with a suit room with balcony in a good location half the price .
Staffs were very helpful . Location was ok . House is clean
