How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

They provide very basic breakfast option, upon asking for an extra egg( which is 6rupees) you will be straight denied on your face, Before booking just confirm with the property if they can remove breakfast option from your package and reduce the cost, by that way you will have better option to eat in breakfast
The property is in main area so everything is walkable from the property, rooms are big with very nicely functioning AC, staff were friendly

We didnt have the breakfast, so cant comment on it. was not happy with the approach area of the hotel. The hotel reception was a small corner room on the 1st floor and the stairway was very narrow. We stayed for 4 nights in a room on the 2nd floor, but there was no room cleaning service. Also saw a lot of lizards in the narrow staircase. Throughout the stay, saw only 1 person at the reception, so I'm assuming there was no other staff.
The location of the hotel was fine. The staff member was polite. There was wifi in every room which was a plus point.

The bathroom sometimes smelled bad but it was tolerable(they gave air fresheners). The hotel is located on the first floor and there are no lifts. It was a bit of a pain to carry the luggage over the stairs.
The room was clean and spacious with huge bed and couch. My room had about three door locks which was a bit annoying but other than that it was good. The hotel is located near a populated road but there are some hotels nearby which was very convenient. The breakfast consisted of South Indian cuisine and they even made hot Dosas for us.

Mostly clean but the pillows were dirty and also there was a constant smell of cigarette smoke in the room. The rooms were very basic, I expected a little more quality at this price point!
Very spacious and it's right in the city centre, rock beach is at a walkable distance. The staff were very helpful and sweet. The breakfast was amazing!
