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...).

PolandThe food offered by the hosts is a bit pricey but homemade and served in front of your door :)
The room is in paradise, surrounded by nature ❤️ after or before the boat tour (we did both sunset and sunrise, both amazing) you can just relax on the porch or around the table outside. We met Vishnu's brother and wife, who were very friendly. His brother did the boat tours and answered all our questions with patience. Also the only place on our trip which had a rubber mop in the bathroom so that the floor was drying right away after showering. Big plus for me :)

United KingdomThis is a little gem nestled in nature. The room was comfortable and clean. The wibes are very chilled and relaxed, even though the owners go out of their ways to assist your needs. The young family who runs this homestay is lovely, served some really tasty food, and offered walkabouts in the neighbouring artisan workshops, and a fabulous sunrise boat tour, too romantic to be on my own! 😂

United KingdomA sign at the entrance path would be helpful to new arrivals !
This is the most beautiful place to stay in an unspoiled part of the backwaters. We really enjoyed just sitting on the terrace and looking out at the pretty garden and the colourful wild birds that visited. The early morning boat trip with Vishnu was serenely lovely - quite unmissable ! Pooni and Vishnu took great care of us and we enjoyed their company !

GermanyWe really enjoyed staying in Munroe Nest Homestay. The home is surrounded by a lot of greenery and on the first evening, when we arrived and it was raining we just sat on the porch and looked outside, because it felt so magical. Vishnu and his wife and family are very welcoming and the food they prepared was amazing. They also organized a canoe tour on the canals for us which was a lot of fun and very calming experience. Our room with the porch in and bathroom were all very nice and clean. We would definetely stay here again if we had the chance!

IndiaNature. Rivers, lake, trees, sounds of birds and frogs.
Rural atmosphere and the way of life based on resources available like fishing, coir industry and so on. Has not reached the stage of commercial exploitation like in cities. I like their water transportation.

SwedenWe had a very good time at Vishnu’s home stay. The food prepared and served was amazing. On top of it Vishnu took us for canoeing for a price and it was brilliant. He knows many ways inside the island and that made him show various places during canoeing. Thank you very much for all the hospitality and food and we definitely come back again.

Beautiful small place in a quiet part of the island. Vishnu and his family are great hosts. He recommended a restaurant and sent us to a temple festival. We can recommend doing the boat tour to see the sunrise. He also helped us with the next part of our trip. Breakfast was really tasty (especially the rice noodles). We also had dinner twice, which was simple and again really good.

United KingdomVishnu charges a little more than other people for canoe tours advertised around the island, also the same for the food. It’s simple delicious home cooked meals but 250 per dinner per person. We found a thali on the island in a restaurant for 110 for example.
A super peaceful spot, nestled in the Jungle. Only 15mins walk from the station. Very clean and tidy. His family cook delicious meals too. The room is by a tiny canal where men in canoes float past selling fish. If you head south there is a place to rent bicycles which we used to tour the island. Don’t miss the Mocktail shop, Or the little Chai huts. Vishnu took us on a nice boat ride too.
