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...).

United Kingdomthe resort has a swimming pool and is adjacent to the beach. It follows that people will have dips in either the sea or the pool . There is no facility for drying wet clothes anywhere other than in full view of others in the front of the room. As we were near the conference room with events in progress there, drying clothes outside was clearly a problem. Airers in all the rooms cannot be a major expenditure for the resort?

IndiaBeach is fine for viewing, but too sloppy so waves are too high and not really for bathing. Needs to be cleaned more as everyday some or the other "parties" happening there (and we all very well know how excellently neat and well-disciplined our desi people are). Breakfast is fine, but south, especially Kerala (e.g., Appam, you cannot make appam with same dhosa dough) items needs improvement, to be prepared with more time and care.

IndiaNeed the maintenance, specially the bathroom. Also the people in big groups those come for one full day, made the mess on swimming pool. People with dress on (with shirt and trousers) dip into swimming pool. Adults were washing their faces in kids swimming pool. very u hygienic. Better they must be informed how to use property specifically the pool.
Loved the beach view and the our room. We had one bedroom and one living room. Loved the big bathroom.

IndiaThe furnitures in the restaurant Looks great. But i think its time to get replaced with new trendy/new ones.
My family and I recently stayed at Ideal Beach Resort, and it was a fantastic experience. The resort is kid- and family-friendly, with a safe environment and wonderful accommodations. The meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—were all excellent. Highly recommend!

SingaporeClenliness .... the blankets look very old. The toilet was very smelly. The bad smell is not due to the toilet itself but could be coming from the drain. Really very bad. Thanks to the night shift room staff, he made it tolerable for the night but the smell returned in the morning. Visitors should note that if you have a driver, he must sleep at his car. The property does not provide sleeping place to drivers.
The service staff were friendly. The location is very accessable provided you have your own car. We hsd a nice time at beach too. Breakfast at the restaurant had good spread and the staff at the restaurant were very friendly.
