Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

GermanyThere were some frustrating aspects: Kayak Trip Organization: I initially requested a full-day kayak rental, but was told I could only have it for three hours at either 6:00 AM or 3:00 PM. Even then, there were delays, and I ended up with a companion I hadn’t requested. While the guide was friendly and doing his job, I had wanted a private kayaking experience, which wasn’t honored. Billing Issues & Tipping Pressure: At checkout, the receptionist tried to overcharge me for the kayak. The agreed price was 1,100 rupees, but suddenly they asked for 1,500. I paid without argument, as I considered that my tip, but then they still had the audacity to ask for more. This left a sour taste at the end of my stay. False Payment Options: They advertise credit card payments, but when I tried to pay that way, I was told it wasn’t working. A major inconvenience for anyone expecting to use a card instead of cash.
My stay at Chilanka Lake View Resort in Alleppey was generally enjoyable. The room and bathroom were clean, the sheets were fine, and everything functioned as expected. One of the highlights was their treehouse-style viewpoint, which offered a beautiful spot to watch houseboats pass by—a great touch for those who enjoy scenic views. The breakfast was tasty as well, adding to the overall pleasant experience.

One of the best stays I have experienced in Kerala. The location of the property was extremely nice. It was just beside the lake hence the name is the perfect Chilanka Lake view resort. The rooms were decent but kul have been more lavish. It is getting renovated hence that problem will also be solved. The caretaker Ajay was a very friendly and very helpful person. He was an all rounder at the property doing all the stuff very politely and with full of humility. The only problem I faced was of Wi-Fi which I hope will be solved soon. The category was really really very good and was very humble and was very active helping us in solving minut problem as well. A perfect staycation near boat house or Lake view at Alappuzha

AustraliaThe hotel is a 30-40 minute walk from the nearest restaurant, boat jetty etc, although rickshaws are available at the main road. Breakfast provided but no other food. The place is approximately 400 metres from the main road with no rickshaw access, along a convoluted path, part of which is just rocks and stones, which would make it difficult for those with heavy luggage.
The room was excellent. Spacious & very clean. Airconditioning and a rotating wall fan. Many electric sockets for recharging phone & accessories. Even some international sockets. The Indian gentleman in charg was helpful.

United KingdomLong bumpy footpath to reach property from road. My husband cannot walk distances and found it difficult . Fine if you have moped or are fit and young!
Great location, boats passing by, pretty garden, lovely to sit on balcony and watch life on the lake. Guesthouse organised a boat trip too. Three hours and 3000rupees (£30) for three of us. Was nice.

IndiaNothing in particular.
Yes, Location is by the lake but the catch is that it is not accessible by car. Not to worry, the people of the resort will guide you and pick your luggages to the resort. Food is not available at the resort, you can order it via zomato or directly from restaurants - which deliver to the resort

GermanyIf you choose to be here, the center and the beach are obviously a little further, but also other amenities are a bit far. You can’t simply walk out here at night and get a dinner (not as a woman alone at least), which I found a bit of a pity. You will always need a Tuktuk or motorbike to go somewhere.
Great stay directly at the water so if you’re lucky you have a view over the water from your doorstep. The hotel manager is super friendly and helping you to arrange everything.

IndiaIt's little inside from the main road, you need to walk 10 mts from the main road. Car, auto or any vehicle doesn't go inside After sunset it's difficult to walk due to limited street lights
Awesome view from the room. You can see the backwater and the housing boat movement from your rooms. Staff was very customer friendly and they treat you like their family. We reached early but still they managed to let us refresh in a different room and start our boating
