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.).

United KingdomWiFi was virtually non-existent! The only place it was possible to get a signal was close to, and facing the office! When making my booking, I did read in one of the reviews written by another guests, that he also found this an issue. Unfortunately it still wasn't resolved when I stayed (July 2022). Joseph told me that the internet router line had been damaged in a storm and that it would be replaced. Internet is essential for making travel arrangements, etc. Also there was no shower in the room (evidence of where the pipe for one once existed was there), so washing was by the traditional method of a bucket and jug! The covid pandemic has hit most Indian business very hard economically, especially in tourism, but for a very small amount of money and effort, these problems at the hotel could easily be resolved. Hopefully these will take priority and be resolved to this otherwise really nice property!
Spacious and clean room. Nice property and location on the waters edge. The manager, Tijo, was very helpful, friendly and kind, making arrangements for boat trips, kayak hire, tuktuk, restaurant recommendations, etc. and I enjoyed many conversations with him! A very nice and friendly person who certainly went out of his way to make my stay enjoyable! Tijo's brother Joseph, the owner of the property, was there on weekends and was also very friendly and accommodating, as were the staff, Jayanthi and Kairali. The breakfasts, which were included in the price of the room, were good. There are no restaurants nearby, but a short tuktuk ride into the main town for about 200 rupees solves this problem! There are always tuktuks waiting at the bridge on the road. If you want to order in food, Tijo was able to do this.
