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...).

IndiaIt was a bit of a shocker to know that the property currently does not accept Credit Card payment and all payments, including the room booking had to be cleared using Google Pay at the end. I wish that is something that had been informed in prior so that we could have been better prepared. Also, requesting the property owner to enable a card payment facility at the earliest so that future travellers won't face this inconvenience. It would help if an electric bat / insect repellant incense or spray is provided in the rooms as there are a lot of tiny insects that enter the room at night when we open the door.
Paadam by the Backwaters is a beautiful property nestled in a wonderful setting that provides a quintessential glimpse into the life of the Kuttanad region. While the property on the whole presents a traditional vibe, the facilities on offer feel very current and state of the art. The rooms are spacious, well-furnished and comfortable. The landscape is impeccably maintained and the outdoor space is as good as the interiors. Sajith, the staff who looks after the property was friendly and ever ready to help. The location is easy to find for Swiggy and Zomato personnel, so arranging food is not a hassle. Special thanks also to Rejin, who was the boat driver for the boat tour of the Vembanad backwaters and lake, which was arranged for us by Sajith. He was a well-versed local guide, and our conversations with him taught us a lot about the local flora, fauna and ways of life. On the whole, Paadam by the Backwaters is a wonderful getaway spot to visit with family, friends, or for some quality time by oneself.

EgyptNothing really!
This was truly a good value for money, the cleanliness of the room, the view, the comfortable bed and the facilities were everything we could ask for! Sajidh was also very helpful and always smiling. It was very humid but I loved that they had a fan in the balcony which made it easier to sit outside and enjoy the view. There is a temple nearby and you have the rice paddies in the front and backwaters at the back as well as bicycles to explore around.

IndiaHonestly, nothing- it was great.
This stay is located about 2.5-3 hours from the airport and set in a village. It was my first time in Kerala. The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. It's brilliant because you get a blend of modern city amenities and the slow pace of village life. As a solo female traveler, I felt incredibly safe throughout my 3-day stay. The water jetty is just a 2-3 minute walk away, and I took a boat to Alleppey. This turned out to be one of the best ways to experience the local culture and their water transport system with stunning backwaters. The kayals are smaller and gradually merge into big ones as you get close to Alleppey. Basics like hot water and electricity are well maintained. However, as the house is in the middle of nature, expect the occasional insects (not many, but just incase). There are provisions like mosquito nets, but it may not be ideal for those who are easily squeamish. In terms of food, they have a basic food menu with local items and reasonably priced. Ajeetha, their cook, was amazing and made a few off the menu items (I'm vegetarian). What stood out was the excellent management. I booked a month in advance and checked with the property manager, Mr. Anand about safety concerns. He assured me and directed Sajith, the on-site manager, to look after my stay. Sajith went above and beyond- he was polite, friendly, attentive, and always available. They also arranged for a boat ride on request and the backwaters around were stunning. I was lucky to get the end of the water lily season. Mr. Anand and Sajith did regular check-ins with me, even after I left to see if I reached Fort Kochi safely. All in all, if you're looking for a non-touristy trip to explore the backwaters, would highly recommend Paadam.

Booked this property at the last minute and what to say it turned out to a memorable experience, what an amazing location. Its a new property near Kumarakom with beautifully furnished rooms and landscapes. Tasty locally made breakfast served in the garden and the views are breathless. Sajith is so friendly. He arranged a small boat trip and boat can reach at the door step. Cycles are available to roam around. Fishing also available but we didnt tried. Will come back
