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...).

Belgium"Fantastic Homestay Experience in Aluppuzha,Kerala." I recently had the pleasure of staying at Marari Xavier's Inn Homestay during my visit to Alleppey, and I must say it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the homestay was exceptional. The rooms were spotless, and the common areas were well-maintained. It was evident that the host takes great pride in keeping the place tidy and comfortable for guests. The host's hospitality was beyond compare. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. From providing helpful local tips to offering assistance with transportation, they were always available and eager to help. They made me feel like part of their family, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout my entire stay. The location of the homestay was perfect for exploring. It was situated in a safe and vibrant neighborhood, close to public transportation and within walking distance of many attractions. I appreciated the convenience of being able to easily access various restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. The amenities provided were top-notch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a long day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing me to prepare my own meals when desired. The complimentary Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was essential for staying connected during my trip. Overall, my experience at Marari Xavier's Inn Homestay exceeded my expectations in every way. The host's genuine warmth, attention to detail, and dedication to guest satisfaction truly set this homestay apart. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Alleppey, whether for a short stay or a longer period. I am grateful for the memories and the outstanding hospitality I received during my time there.

AustraliaSunitha, Albert and family have a little piece of Kerala paradise and are so willing to share it with you. Great home cooking, clean rooms and great wifi. Close to the beach yet in a quiet rural setting. It is 15 minutes out of Alleppey yet Albert ensured transport was on hand or easily booked. A beautiful experience.

GermanyYes. The food was very very good at Marari Xavier's. A delight and very reasonable priced. They were happy to organise a canoeing trip for us. Very nice was that the host taught us some of the local language. We are practising a lot. We had a really nice time there. The location is clean and very close to the nice beach with terrific sunsets. Unfortunately, the beach has a lot of rubbish on it. A sad problem the whole country India is facing. As a suggestion for improvement the next investition of the host could be buying more comfortable mattresses. Valare valare nandi.

IndiaIhad loads of questions stepping into this trip. But, Goodness me. What a trip it turned out to be. The hosts of this property are simply beautiful, amazing and such a lovely people. Sunitha and Albert, hosts of this property took care of me, and all guests as if they are our own. Everytime, you ask them for anything, they are ready and prepared for everything. This property has its own self private beach and its 5 mts from our room. The beach is such incredible, calm and beautiful I stayed for hours and hours just looking at its stunning sunset views and waves all day and night. The food prepared by Sunitha is such incredibleand delicious. Starting from home made authentic kerala style breakfast to all varieties in lunch and dinner. You name it and its there.. no matter what time. I requested for early check in and they said yes without a question. I asked for late check out and they are perfectly okay without hesitation. Truly genuine people and they just mingle with us with ease. They provide scooters for rent, they make us prepare for backwater rides any contacts we name, they have it. Main highlights are private beach with stunning and breathtaking views, food, quality of service and mainly hosts and their ground to earth interations with us. Looking forward to come and visit again them soon.

Very nice location to relax in front of a clean beach. There is also a beautiful lake 5 minutes away. Albert and Sunni were amazing hosts that tried to help with everything and were extremely friendly. It was hard to leave, since we enjoyed our time there a lot. It's only like 15 minutes away from Alleppey center by tuk tuk and it's the perfect stay to relax, have a swimm and then explore the city in the afternoon.

Sunitha is a great chef who makes customised authentic kerelan meals for all 3 meals a day! Another guest celebrated their wedding anniversary there and the host family went above and beyond with decorations and cake! The room was clean. The homestay is right on the beach with great sunset views. We stayed at hotels during our trip but the experience and service here was far better!
