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...).

AustraliaTerrible - don’t bother staying here. I don’t usually write reviews but this is needed. We had a very unpleasant stay. Firstly, the room was in very poor condition. For the price you pay it was very dirty, there was mould everywhere ( as shown in the photos), the bathroom also had a very foul smell. Secondly, the receptionist didn’t want to help us book transportation tickets, which we’ve never had a problem with anywhere throughout our trips to India. Finally, which was the most upsetting was the very loud noise all night. It started with some kind of construction right near our bedroom window at 10 pm at night. Then, extremely loud party music being played starting at 11pm. My partner and I thought this was a party down the road. Eventually, after an hour and a bit of this very loud music playing, I went to the reception to ask where it was coming from. He said ‘oh music, me’ and smiled and showed me the speaker it was playing from. I told him to turn it off as it was after midnight and very loud. This was very unprofessional. I spoke with the manager the next day and all he said was sorry. No real compassion or compensation - very disappointed.

IndiaWe went in tempo traveller and it was hard to drive in narrow lanes to arrive at sky frame. So can’t say it’s a downside but all other stays also are in same lane. You gotta think about parking if going in tempo traveller. Also this is situated in south cliff, if you want to go for parties, you’ll need auto to south cliff which hotel guys can call. Though autos charge heftily.
Property as photos show is beautiful. Rooms are pretty and clean. Special mention to Sushant and his team, they’re very polite and adjusting. Whatever we asked they provided very fast. I’d strongly recommend to have appam and kadala curry in breakfast. The cook is a very sweet lady and takes delight in serving with a smile on her face all the time. We didn’t encounter any language problems also since staff understood English and bit of Hindi.

IndiaThe most unethical practise Booking.com is doing is that of charging taxes illegally for the properties other than Hotels. Please be informed if we approach to Taxes Authority Booking.com will be in problem as those property is illegally charging Tax without any Tax document which means they are not paying any Tax to the Local & Central Govt. This is illegal in India and Booking.com is fully responsible as they are showing this amount in their Portal.
Let Booking.com have direct information from the property. The Location is not at all near sea side and only sea view is visible from the garden and not from room. The area is banned for swimming by any visitors. So what is the use of listing these properties in your so called good hotel list.
