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...).

IndiaThere isn’t a lot of space to walk around the property. I found a bit of lack of activities. A spa would have been nice. If you are scared of dogs, make sure they are not left open when you enter the property at night coz otherwise they will bark at you loudly.
The decor and interiors are really aesthetic. The living room and TV are a good place to chill. The room was super clean and cozy. The beds are lovely. Every decor detail is paid attention to. The staff is really lovely and catered to all our needs. Food was really authentic and delicious. It was a wide spread for dinner which gave us options and we appreciated that.

IndiaThis is a very beautiful cottage with a cute loft. Very tastefully appointed to the tiniest detail. The host and the staff are very thoughtful and do everything to make you feel comfortable. Food is delicious and the they serve a wide variety in the set menu. The cottage provides the required privacy despite being in the same space as the hosts.

IndiaI stayed in Svarna - attic house, had a good time with family. the staff were homely and the owner - Kanchana Pai took good care of everything. The cottage house is built aesthetically with wood completely. It's a must visit for some pleasant stay by the river and nature.

IndiaNothing that I can think of. Being close to NH66, there can be sone humming noise of the vehicles hustling around.. bit that didn't bother much
Mesmerising natural beauty, twittering of birds, on the banks of the beautiful Suvarna river, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but nevertheless near to the main city of Udupi- Svarna home stay @ Race and Reduce encompasses all of this. To top it up, there's a warm and hospitable treatment from Kanchana Pai and her Husband...just adorable. You'll feel like "being at home" away from home. Things I loved the most were- homely feeling, hospitality, nature surrounding the cottage, cleanliness in the cottage, a latent feeling of belongingness (which one may not experience in a commercial hotel), authentic south Indian food, attention to detail while designing this beautiful cottage... Sit back in the cozy balcony, enjoy bird watching, sip a cup of tea with milk from their own cowshed, read a book and discover yourself...talk to your body. These are the kind of activities you'll yearn to do while you're here. Cattle egrets, Brahmani Kites, white wattled lapwing, peacock s, pheasant are some birds which I saw here. Egrets following the grazing cattle was a mesmerising experience... The cottage is perfect to accomodate a family of 4. There's a cosy mezza nine floor that can accomodate 2 adults. This was my favourite spot. The interior designing is just impeccable and one can feel the thoughtfulness with which the things are laid out.. Would definitely recommend Svarna, for a small family yearning to have leisure vacation in Udupi.

IndiaEverything was great
Fantastic staff, lovely surroundings, and a very cute room. The hotel has the nicest and most helpful staff I've ever encountered. The hotel was outstanding in every way. We had breakfast there, and the place was spotless, spacious, and had great service. The food was excellent and well-valued, and attentive service was provided. The room itself was cozy and very well furnished. I had a great time during my visit. In the future, I plan to return for a longer stay.

IndiaThe stay was gorgeous and so thoughtfully built. We had a great time staying here, the loft on top was a great space to unwind(read a book, watch a movie, bird watching). This is a perfect place to be lazy and do nothing if that is what you are looking for. The food was lovely, we had some wonderful home cooked meals which was absolutely yumm.. Thank you for hosting us Kanchana! :)
