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...).

IndiaThe property is very rich and comfortable for stay. However, as far as the food is concerned, it is little difficult to get the dinner at night as the mess is not open at the time. The staff is very co-operative and humble. Overall it is nice place to stay.

IndiaWe had tea and coffee from there and it was little expensive.
From the property varkala cliff is around 2km and other beaches are also around same distance. So by walk or by car it will take less time to reach there. We got 2 rooms with ac and the bedroom is larger than I imagined and it was well maintained and was cleaner. Caretaker was good. Overall it was a good stay.

IndiaGoogle map location not accurate. Better contact them on whatsapp to get accurate location, s☺️gn board photos to get an idea in advance. Otherwise there is trend among auto drivers to misguide you and ride you to other hotels for getting commission. Auto may say we are not sure of location, it is too far etc. I am telling this from my own experience.
I recommend this peaceful guest house to visitors coming to Varkala away from noise and crowd. Many hotels guest houses in cliff, odayam, black beach so noisy and cant retire to bed peacefully. This property is situated on main road, all the beaches are in 1 km radius. Auto rikshaws are available on call and no need to wait for long. In house home made breakfast lunch and dinner available on pre order. They use coconout oil, olive oil for cooking and hence slightly costlier but that gives a guarantee for clean healthy food. Your trip wont be spoiled becuase of unhealthy food ingredients. They own 7 properties in Trivandrum and their experience is added asset to the hospitality service provider. The reception staff is very silent and supportive to guest needs. Overall i m extremely happy to be here, in all future visits Rams guest house is going to be my preferred place.

IndiaApart from basic amenities like fan, ac, tv and clean room & toilet, nothing else was provided. Forget the toiletries, even drinking water was not provided inside the room. For water, the receptionist said that there's a cooler inside the kitchen. Wasn't really expecting that. While booking a stay, towel, toothbrush and soap are the basic thing that must be provided. Also, the bed on the King size bed was turned upside down, putting the rough side on top.
Room was spacious. Basic amenities like TV, AC and fan were good.

IndiaExcellent Stay at Rams Guest House, Varkala I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rams Guest House in Varkala and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The rooms are incredibly spacious and come with comfortable queen beds, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. Nestled in a tranquil area away from the hustle and bustle, it offers a serene environment ideal for relaxation. One of the highlights is its prime location, just a short walk from the stunning Varkala Cliff, Black Beach, and Odayam. This makes it very convenient to explore the local attractions without the need for transportation. The guest house also provides ample car parking space, which is a great plus for those traveling by car. They offer homemade food at an extra charge, and I must say the Idli and Dosa are a must-try! The meals are healthy, cooked with minimal oil and spices, and exclusively use coconut oil for a truly authentic flavor. The use of well water for bathing added a refreshing touch to the experience. Overall, Rams Guest House offers excellent hospitality and comfort, making it a perfect place to stay when visiting Varkala. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway.
