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...).

IndiaIt was a nice stay in the hotel. The location is awesome as you can enjoy the view of the sea from your room. The sea is mere 20m from the hotel and it’s a beautiful beach. The food was amazing and they will cook according to the instructions from the guest. The staffs were very helpful and they took extremely good care for us.

We had a wonderful stay here. Prince, Gabriel and Nidi were constantly attentive and great company. The food was outstanding - the tiger prawns, squid fry, salad and sardines the best meals we had in India. Breakfasts also fresh and tasty. Prince kindly organised a great theyyam tour with Jithin, memorable. The sound of the surf and smiles of the staff will stay with us.

IndiaThe place and the ambiance was great. The beach is just a walk away which can be visited whenever we please. The beach doesn't get crowded (on weekdays at least) Mr Prince was available just a call away whenever needed. The rooms were clean as were the bathrooms. Additional towels, hot water and necessary stuff were provided without any hesitation

GermanyThat we couldn‘t stay longer….
If Heaven is a place on Earth, it lies at Thottada beach and you can stay in the White Shell Beach House ! We ( travelling around in South India for already 5 weeks) totally enjoyed our days and enights here: From the early morning hot ginger drink( Hot water in a thermos jug esp. For me 🙏) to the delicious indian breakfast After the early morning swim, over the peacefull Rests in the well thought room ( the patent of the „curtain „ was invented by a Genius👍) to the seafood/chicken Dinner and the good sleep only „disturbed“ by the rolling of the Waves…. Thanks so much to Prince the thoughtfull and caring owner and espescially to Ninthi ( spelling?) the young and lovely good Soul of the place! We really would like to come back one day!

Stayed 5 nights The location so close to a beautiful uncrowded beach. The view from the upstairs rooms are great We enjoyed catching the sunset from our balcony while having dinner served. The building is very quiet and calm and you hear the waves all day and night. The large bed is super comfortable and the air-conditioning was great. Hot water was also appreciated The food served here is really good and varied. You choose from a menu for dinner and the included breakfast is set and very filling. Prince and his staff are very friendly and accomodating. Prince was organised and helpful throughout our stay. He organised a pick-up and drop off to Kannur airport. Plus he organised a very good driver/guide for 4 days/ nights that took us to the Theyyam festivals which I thoroughly recommend. Jithink was the guides name All in all a very memorable stay.

Right near one of the most beautiful beaches we've stayed on. Don't expect it to be fancy but it's a great value homestay with good natures hosts.

GermanyThe little White Shell Beach resort has a very coz y atmosphere. Prince and his team of two take care of their guests in an exceptional way. The food is great, the coffee even better. We got help when we wanted to see Theyyam. We were taken good care of. The place itself overlooks the sea so you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. The rooms are very affordable.

United StatesNot really an issue but there’s a small shop where locals like to hang out in front of the property (so between hotel and beach access).
If you’re looking for to get away from crowded, dirty beaches, this is the place! Quiet area (well except for a mosque close by), very friendly Prince and his young nice assistant Asju make sure you have what you need during your stay. Breakfast is included and very tasty! Asju made the best coffee I’ve had in India (3 weeks) & Prince asks for your dinner order mid afternoon so he can shop for fresh fish or whatever. Never ate anywhere else as everything was delicious and fair priced. I was supposed to have a short stay but with Prince’s creativity and accommodating mindset, he found a way which allowed me to continue enjoying their relaxing property - ended staying the entire week! Highly recommend!
