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...).

FranceThe only thing we didn't like were 2 building sites that were across from us. They were pretty far away but you could still hear the constant background noise . It was only late at night and very early in the morning that we could hear the sound of the waves. We know that this is only temporary of course.
The location in Odayam was very nice . We had a very nice room with a Seaview and a private balcony. There was yoga every morning , a good breakfast. The staff was amazing.

SwitzerlandThe bathroom was a bit small and a little smelly.
Our room was equipped with AC and a nice little balcony including sea view. Yogasessions in the morning with Siva were exceptional and the breakfast delicous. The whole team including the owner, Par, was super helpful and always good for a little chat.

GermanyUnfortunately, our room was not that clean, nor were the bed linen and towels.
Well located on the beach of Varkala, where you can swim in a small bay. The yoga offer is great and depending on the room the view is beautiful!

IndiaThe heater in the smaller room wasn’t working which was a little uncomfortable considering it was monsoon season and the water was extremely cold. Apart from that nothing else.
Really liked the location, close to the cliff and walkable to all nearby cafes and restaurants. Extreme value for your money as well. The rooms are clean, they do provide free breakfast and there are two cute dogs that were a bonus. Faizal was also able to provide us with bikes and a lot of suggestions as well

United KingdomNothing really, it was a great place. Only issue was in payment as what Booking. Com said I owed was different to what the property said (ie they wanted more) as our rooms had air in even though I’d booked budget with no air con and we were then charged an extra 400 per night which was a bit of a shock at the end. They said Booking. Com will not allow the choice …it was all a little confusing tbh)
Lovely quiet rooms, clean and with good mosquito nets. Awe had rooms next to each other with a little veranda- very peaceful. Filtered water available on our veranda. Breakfasts were fantastic, with fresh fruit salads and different Kerala breakfasts or pancakes or omelettes every day

United StatesThe beds were not very comfortable, but this is pretty common in India. In addition, if you are sensitive to noise, you might bring earplugs because of the barking dogs and nearby mosque.
This hotel offers super clean rooms with great hot water and a prime location near the beach. In fact, we had an ocean view from our spacious and comfortable balcony. Faizal and his family were fantastic hosts and we also enjoyed the yoga on offer in the mornings.
