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...).

SpainRoom spacious , nice views and big bed. The people that work there were very helpful and friendly. The location was way far away from Munnar, you need a taxi or motorbike. The restaurant wasn’t that great and requires and app.

NorwayPeople smoking like crazy in the room and crazy dirty bathroom after a short while.
This place made me change my mind about hostels. It is modern. It is private. It is legendary hosts. Its a bit more pricy than regular hostels and guesthouses. But the quality and aura is also better. Great community. Mostly indians.

IndiaDorms felt a little too warm. And there were no events conducted by the hostel when we were their for 2 days. Also, to rent a scooty we have to go to Munnar which is 20kms from the property which becomes a bit challenging. Also they serve only vegetarian food which is north Indian even though we're in Kerala.
The property is secluded, peaceful and even the build is great. I stayed in 4 bed dorm and it felt like a 1 BHK so that experience was great.

United KingdomThere was no meat options so had to travel to local areas. Should cater to both veg and non-veg.
I liked the property and the view as it’s was nice and quiet. With the odd party groups. Maybe noise should be cut off to enjoy the tranquility by 10/11 pm and early starters.

AustraliaPaying for food online and other difficulties with making payments online - I think it would be better if the hostel just did it the old school way and didn’t use apps ect, but I guess that’s just the way with big hostel chains….
Amazing staff, so clean and big rooms, really comfortable beds, elt so comfortable, the manager was very helpful and kind. Great spot for sunsets and close to wonderful hiking spots. Situated in a really nice quiet village.

MaltaThe location is not best if you do not have transport to get to it, as its a bit far from the town center. The restaurant opens at 9am, and there is nothing around if you wake up earlier.
Really helpful staff and very big rooms.

GermanyThere only nature around. Don't expect to find any store. From Munnar the hostel was 23 km far away and not 12 as it was written. To reach the room there are several steps to take. To reach Munnar with the rickshaw is not less than 800 rupees.
The double room was unexpectedly big. The silence there was stunning. The whole structure was incredible and it was really a pleasure to walk around in the structure itself. Room was simple and clean. The floor seemed to be dirty, but most probably was the kind of wood itself. The stuff, young men, was very kind and helpful. The view outside was breathtaking. If you are looking for some silence and work without distractions it's the perfect place.

Italy- Payment by card options were a hassle for non-indian, same for food payment. Food options were poor and not great quality. - Hot water in the room was not working properly, when it came it took several minutes and I had to shower with cold water half of the time - Location is very far from everything, with nothing around it. If you don’t have a bike or scooter, it’s very uncomfortable to move around, and expensive (tuktuk was minimum 700-800 rupees)
Spacious and comfortable room, great view from balcony, nice common area with view of the valley, quietness all around, you could hear mostly nature sounds (birds and animals)

GermanyBecause of a complicated booking system of food and everything it was not a relaxing arrival after busy travelling because the system was hard to understand. After some struggle the staff was willing to help us and so we finally got food before the restaurant was closed.
It was a high standart hostel, with big rooms and well designed.

Indiadistance from city centre. I don't know if hosteller Munnar is pet friendly or not but presence of dog in dinning area was a big turnoff.
As i travelled alone i must advise fellow solo travellers to choose this property after checking distance from Munnar. This property is far from Munnar and other location so if you don't have your personal vehicle, I would advise to skip this. The place is amazing, location is also good with polite staff. The only problem is connectivity, to travel to Munnar one must spend approx 800-1000 rs per trip. So it will be expensive.
