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...).

United KingdomI had a great stay here. The room was comfortable and clean and the balcony was great too. Friendly and helpful staff. The quiet location is excellent, close to the sea, but also close to all the restaurants and shops nearby. Thank you.

United KingdomWe had to keep asking for toilet paper, it was as though it was rationed, and electricity was going off almost every day, they had a back up generator but it wasn't powerful enough to do all the rooms , so some nights we was showering in the dark which was dangerous, and not able to dry your hair or iron any clothes.
Close to the beach

United KingdomLots of problems with power and fridge stopped working. It did not spoil the stay totally, but it did make it a bit awkward when coming back from the beach to take a shower and get ready for our evening out.
Location great, lovely grounds, welcoming family and staff. We were in budget rooms but I think they still need a litter updating.

The best part of this homestay is its owner. We can find many hotels or homestay with good food, good location, good amenities, good service. But you can find owners like them. They treat u as there family. N your comfort is there priority. I have never seen some resolve ur problem so fast in any hotels too. There behaviour will make you fall in love with the property. God bless both husband wife, and i assure you wont regret staying thr even if thr propert is not very sophisticated with amenities.

United KingdomAlthough this wasn't an issue the rooms were a bit tired and in need of a refurb. Also you had to ask for room to be cleaned this should be done on a regular basis without asking.
The location was excellent for the beach. Also in a nice quiet area. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.

United Kingdomfor the price the toilet roll could have been of better quality, It was very poor. Just one bath towel each no hand towel. A few more toiletry would be appreciated for the price. Also no TV but this was my fault for not read the details properly.
The location was perfect just a short stroll to the beach on a slabbed path. The grounds were well kept and attractive. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable Direction the accommodation was spot on, without these it would have been very hard to find.

United KingdomOur room was right on main thoroughfare ground floor, to the beach so didn’t feel very private. Felt like I was in a window in Amsterdam’s red light district even thought the windows were mirrored, which in itself attracted passers by to check themselves and fix their hair. Could do with two towels per person and complimentary coffee to go with kettle
Heritage home stay, away from the beeping of the main road. Convenient for the beach (5 mins) and great shacks to spend the day. 15 mins walk to beach road Candolim centre. Complimentary water. Very clean.

United KingdomOnly small gripe was there was not enough towels given and the armchair on the balcony looked a little out of place.
Location was great, straight onto the beach. Narrow road at the back but just a short walk to the main road. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on this but room was good, had everything we needed and was a good size. Staff were pleasant and cleaning not too bad. Would definately stay here again.

ThailandNothing really! Obviously it's not trying to be a 5* hotel, but for what it is, it is perfect and you'll have a great stay!
This guest house was perfect for us. Just a 3 min walk to Candolim beach, and it's a quiet beach area! Definitely the best beach area for kms! Having said that, on this bit of beach there are 2 places to eat and drink but you only need to walk another 2 mins down the beach to find more. And then just a 5-10 min to main road too. The guest house is homey, cute and quiet and we shared a room (2 friends), one in the double bed and one on the comfy sofa bed, so it was great. It's simple but it's clean and fresh and comfortable. We had no problems at all and the family in the house are friendly and so helpful. We used their taxi recommendation which worked well, and they did our laundry great too, and for an excellent price.
