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...).

IndiaThe place is infested with mosquitoes at night, making the experience a bad one. The bunk bed frames are rusty. The hostel caretaker (Adi) can be more helpful and have a better understanding of these issues and find a solution.

IndiaNothing special to like.. For a budget solo travel tent stay is manageable. For tents they should provide a locker. At least a soap and a towel. We are not staying for free. We are paying 999 for a single person tent stay.

India1. The unfair way of how they don't bother to inform the tourists about the booking status until the moment they arrive at the location. 2. Access to property. Reaching to this place is a task in itself. Though if you are at Kudle beach it's convenient to go back and forth from the beach. 3. Hygiene - the washroom and tents were not clean. And there are plenty of mosquitoes if you opt to stay at the tent.

IndiaMust improve facilities or reduce the prices especially the rent for tents.
Right on the kudle beach, this cute hostel is a must stay if your prime focus is to stay very close to the beach and be around lots of cool cafes. The facilities could be better based on the price that was charged. In terms of facilities I felt it was not up to the mark. The common washrooms were cleaner than most. However, the people and hospitality was top notch. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and welcome there. Met a lot of great people and the people managing the hostel are really fun too!

India1. The place has too any insects, lizards. 2. There is no purified/RO drinking water, they give you filter water from boring, did not look safe to drink 3. Wifi does not reach 6 bed dorm, and the common area is full of mosquitoes, and is literally just 3 mattresses on the ground + 2 table chair sets, uncomfortable if you plan to work. 4. No cafeteria, while they don't mention it either, still felt the need for one for Basic tea/snacks 5. 6 bed dorms bathroom does not have a washbasin or geyser, had to fill hot water from outside in a bucket. if you're a lazy bum, might be a little hassle. 6. Reaching the hostel was a bit uncomfortable, you either walk for 5-10 minutes on the beach after a few minutes of trek or trek down for 5-10 minutes with no sign boards and your bags depending on the route you chose. However, the stay was decent since you can literally wake up and go to the beach for a dip, or go to any beachside shacks for food.
Location is perfect. 1 minute to the beach. Staff was friendly. Charlie(pet dog) was a cutie. Try Gundappa cafe a and ocean front resorts' restaurant for food if you've got a taste for spicy food, beachside shacks don't add salt or spice to meals. Arya Cafe was nice hygienic.

IndiaThe Location is good but the way to the Hostel is very isolated and dangerous, not at all recommended during rainy seasons, avoid travelling at night, also since Gokarna is a coastal region so avoid travelling in summer as tents don't have fan access and too much of mosquitos
Staff were very cordial and helpful, food was available very easily and till late night, good aura and very cheap (starting from 300 Rs per night for Single tent), 2 Mins from Kudle beach (exactly on the beach), Sound of waves hit your very clearly during night

IndiaThere is no kitchen facility, nor is there a fridge like in other hostels. Additionally, we forgot our bag near the bonfire at night, inside the property, which has a proper gate. Someone stole around ₹10,000, earbuds, and a watch from it. When we called the owner to check the CCTV footage, he told us that the camera was not functioning and then abruptly ended the call, showing little concern. If you're planning to visit Gokarna, it's better to consider other options.they are cheaper and better then this .Still u want to give a chance to these guys it's upto u best of luck .
Gokerna is awesome but not this place
