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):
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.
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.).

IndiaThe bathroom was smelly. Manager was rude. I asked for extra bed sheet and he immediately showed me Treebo’s customer care number and said I can move to another hotel if I don’t like the hotel. I was told the stay would be on ground floor because I was travelling with senior citizen parents, but the hotel reception is on the first floor.
Location. Closer to the beach and French town

IndiaThe breakfast was a moderate spread and a couple of dishes were not refilled once empty.
The rooms were very clean and the AC and restroom was quite clean. The staff was friendly. It's close to a lot of main attractions in town and saves on a lot of transportation money. Worth the money, had gone expecting worse but was genuinely surprised for the quality of the rooms considering the cost.

IndiaThe room was not clean and they didn't give the extra bed as I booked the room for 3 adults. They changed 50% of the extra amount for water and other soft drinks. It is a very bad thing. I requested for early check in but they simply rejected. So my suggestion is please take ownership for this kind of options because if you leave it on the hotel side they will never accept these requests.
The location and the space was fine.

IndiaRooms were nothing like in the pics.They need a fresh coat of paint and the linens could be cleaner.There was no mention when booking that the property did not have a lift.The 1 bottle mineral water policy was a bit stingy i felt.With the rising temperatures how much would it cost these chains to provide 2/3bottles per room.Rooms were too rustic for a family,more suitable for backpackers.Being on the main road there was very little public parking space available.Even if you could find one the car would be baking under the hot sun the entire day with not a single tree shade in sight.Pondicherry is a heat sink with barely any tree cover.
Hotel is centrally located.very close to the beach and shopping.Pet friendly.AC cooling was excellent.

IndiaHowever, the disadvantages of this hotel greatly outweigh the positives. Firstly, the rooms are situated on the first and second floors and can only be accessed via small and narrow stairs as there is no lift facility available. This can be extremely inconvenient, especially for guests with heavy luggage or mobility issues. Furthermore, due to its location on the main road, the constant traffic noise seeps into the rooms, even with the AC on and doors closed, disturbing the peace and tranquility of the stay. Moreover, the rooms lack basic amenities such as a fridge or cooler box and wardrobes to store clothes. The presence of open drainage around the rooms leads to unpleasant odors permeating through the corridors, making for an unpleasant experience. Additionally, the presence of mosquitoes in the room further detracted from the comfort of the stay. One of the disappointing aspects of the stay was the complimentary breakfast included in the package. The breakfast spread was limited, and once the items were depleted, they were not replenished with fresh stocks. Furthermore, the taste of the food was subpar, adding to the overall dissatisfaction with the stay. Overall, considering the amount paid for the stay, the service provided by Treebo - Red Lotus Heritage Promenade Beach fell short of expectations. The lack of basic amenities, unpleasant odors, and inadequate breakfast options make
One of the few positives of this hotel is its central location, which makes it convenient for exploring Pondicherry. Additionally, the rooms are spacious, with large cots that can comfortably accommodate three people

IndiaThe place was really unclean, especially the bathroom—it was a mess and was stinking. Even the white towels provided were dirty. Breakfast options were very limited, and the utensils were not clean either. The staff wasn't friendly at all; in fact, they were quite rude, especially when we had a payment problem. Overall, it wasn't worth the money we spent. I wouldn't recommend staying there.

IndiaOne small issue we faced (apart from the absence of lift) was that our bathroom for the new room smelled and the exhaust wasn't working. Apart from that, the stay was comfortable and nice.
The rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel staffs were so polite and helpful; we didn't know that there was no lift and we got a room in the 2 nd floor but my mom had medical issue and they took care of that. There hospitality was amazing. There breakfast was tasty and had a lot of options. All the places in the White town the promenade beach were at walkable distance.
