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...).

IndiaI had a wonderful experience staying at The Hosteller Wayanad. The location is perfect, offering both peaceful surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and I particularly appreciated the cozy atmosphere. What made it even better was the affordability. It's budget-friendly without compromising on quality, making it a great choice for travelers looking for value for money. If you're looking for a place that combines great hospitality, a relaxed vibe, and great prices, I highly recommend The Hosteller Wayanad. I would definitely love to visit again!

IndiaThere is a space to keep our things under the bunk bed but locks were NOT provided. When asked they said I have to buy it. That could have been avoided. Although it is not a complaint. Carry a paddle lock.
I had one of the best stays in my life here. First of all, I met a lot of people. There was a large area for us to play carroms, table tennis, chess etc. I felt young like a teenager. I didn't use the pool. But it was good. I also enjoyed the food too. I found the place serene. I recommend this for both bachelors and families.

IndiaWhatever food was there on the menu was good but would have loved it even more if there could have been some local food as well else I loved everything.
I really enjoyed my Wayanad visit and one reason has to be this property. The property gives a mini resort like vibes. And staff here are the best part about The Hosteller Wayanad. No matter how pretty a property is it is the staff working there that makes it what it is. Each staff member was very supportive and friendly. I was there during the T20 WC semi Finals and Finals and staff arranged the screening in the common area which everyone enjoyed a lot.

United KingdomThe check in process was a joke. We were staying for 3 night but had to do 33 different bookings due to availability. This isn't usually an issue but the gosteller make you use their payment portal which added approx 3GBP per booking in fees which is not an advertised cost!! We thiguht we could pay for the room with card or cash when we got there but you have to do it online and it was not working. It took 2 hours for me to sort and then duplicate payments were taken. I then had to contact head office as the payments are separate from the hostel themselves. It was very clunky and a huge waste of time. The hosteller refused to refund the payment fees, which I felt that they should have done as the cost was not advertised when booking and since they were separate bookings, it then made the accom out of our budget but it was not refundable.... really not transparent at all. The facilties for the hostel are probably the beat I've seen but there are no organised activities or help with excursions, which, for the area, is needed as there's nothing obvious to do. Food also took over an hour to come each time, again ordering through and app despite being the only people there and the local town is a good walk away for food options. It was a frustrating experience that that tainted our stay.
Great hostel facilities and friendly staff.

IndiaDon't recommend going for any adventurous or cycling treks here at Wayanad without complete safety equipment and proper guidance by the organisers.
Great hospitality by the entire staff. Had a comfortable stay. Met with an accident during a cycling trip but received a lot of help by the property manager Mr. Shubham. He made sure we got everything we needed timely as things got a bit difficult after the cycling mishap. The staff was super friendly and positive. Definitely recommend booking it. Loved the ambience and the overall look n feel of the property. Great coffee and bread omelette. Thanks for making our stay comfortable and pleasant.
