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...).

Good food at the restaurant. Spacious rooms and clean rooms. Biggest negative is that it is not treated for mosquitos. So the full family was itching the full time. Location is close to all landmarks.

New ZealandHad a massage through the hotel. Paid for 1 hour and the guy only massaged for 45 min. He refused to continue for the 15 min that I had already paid for, saying that his massages always go between 45min to 1 hour and that he had given me really good massage and pretty much that I should be gratefully. Long story short. Don’t book a massage through them!
Good value for money. Pool was nice to have

Netherlandsat arrival, the sheets were very dirty. we went to the reception and they immediately changed the sheets for us so that was a nice save. the hotel reception can call taxi’s for all the trips you want to take. however, these taxi rides are definitely a lot more expensive than an uber would be. Feels like they overcharge a lot for their taxi’s.
swimming pool very large so that was good! there is also a spaceous restaurant and even roomservice available. Food at the restaurant was okay for dinner. the breakfast buffet was very nice with lots of indian choices, as well as toast and even eggs that they prepare on the spot. rooms are large and comfortable. inside and outside the room is space to sit and relax.

IndiaWe felt uncomfortable when some guests were drinking and taking loudly though they were not trouble or bother. Kids and women in the family were not happy about that. It should have been separately allocated for those who drink would be much appreciated

IndiaGuests were allowed into the pool with their normal clothes, without even wearing a swim cap. They were also served food and drinks while they were still inside the pool. This is unhygienic, especially in the time of corona fear. My opinion is the hotel should not allow this.
It fairly met all my expectations. The room was big, so was the bathroom and bed was comfortable. Wifi was fast and the location is super central, and just a few min walk to the beach. The swimming pool was the real winner, the ambience is green and pleasing to the eye and the water was friendly, you can spend hours in it. Food was also good.

United KingdomNothing.
The location is perfect - in the centre of town and within walking distance of all the monuments. The entrance from the road is a bit scruffy but once inside the grounds you are in a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the town with a delightful swimming pool around which to spend the hottest part of the day. The food is delicious and the staff go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. This is not a swish, modern hotel but if you like traditional places with lots of atmosphere and good, old-fashioned values you will not find better in Mamallapuram. Highly recommended.
