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 KingdomNothing!
The property was truly stunning! The fairy lights added such a magical touch, and the pool was the perfect way to cool off after a warm day of exploring. Everything was perfect, but what made it extra special was how warm and welcoming Shibu and Sini were - always smiling and incredibly helpful, and the food … absaloutely delicious!

United KingdomThe swimming pool set in a lovely garden was an absolute bonus and a rare find. The choices for breakfast were rich and varied, choices of cereals, fruits, pancakes and so much more. We were made to feel very much at home by Alan, Suni and Shibu who were wonderful hosts with gorgeous smiles. The location is safe and peaceful. So glad we chose this placement to stay.

United KingdomNothing. All was great.
Wonderful place to stay, beautiful garden with good swimming pool, very clean. Simi and Shibu were lovely hosts. Very attentive. Gave us some good meals and even sang to us one evening. Alan was also a great host. Went out of his way to take us round the village and introduced us to people, organised a fantastic trip on the backwaters and helped us get on the train when we left. We had a great time and can’t praise it highly enough.

IndiaOne of the best stays I have ever had, very clean property in a secluded place, peaceful environment. Helping and friendly staff, the welcome drink tea and snacks were all home made and hygienic. Sunny George and Jibin sahu were very friendly and made us feel at home. We were constantly checked upon for any help and guidance, We weren't even charged extra for extending the checkout, the swimming pool was maintained well, and the beach is just a few steps away from thumpoly beach. Very happy and satisfied with the stay.

IndiaThe weather and it's not a problem with the resort :)
It's a nice remote place close to the beach.we went during summer and can't expect muh a pleasing weather. We took the 3 rooms on the first floor and has a good time. Our pet popaye also enjoyed the stay The beach close to the resort is not at all crowded. It's better to go the beach as a group The main beach is just 2.5 kms from the place

United KingdomGiven all the other reviews were so good, I was expecting a lot, but it felt in many ways that I was the first person to ever stay there, there were so many little niggles. There were language issues with the house keepers (who were friendly, but only spoke basic very English), and issues with payment (bring cash!!!). The pool just had a few cheap plastic seats, no deck chairs, no pool towels - foreigners going to a beach hotel want to lie by the pool! There was a hammock with a big hole in - remove, replace or repair please! Breakfast was "do you want chapatis"...well, I don't know, what are the other options!? A menu is needed. The hotel is quite remote, so you have to get a cab or walk a long way to get anything. It would be great if there was some proactive assistance to order food maybe, a drinks fridge would be excellent. The second night there was a group of rowdy guys who played loud music until I went downstairs at midnight to tell them to shut up. Overall, it was frustrating that with (quite a few) little touches, it could be really nice, but as it is, I wouldn't go back.
The hotel is very close to the beach (there is NO infrastructure at the beach, nothing, just sand). I was able to check in early, which was great. Upstairs terrace was very nice, pleasant place to sit and work. Garden lighting is nice.
