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...).

CanadaWifi is terrible. Couldn’t do any work on it. Beds are very hard in the dorms— it’s just a thin mat on a wooden platform. Our room code stopped working and all the staff left early so we were locked out completely with no way to contact.

SwitzerlandIt was quite cold in the bathroom and on the way to the shower. It would've been nice if they provided slippers especially in the cold months. Not everyone has slippers with them.
The people at the reception were very kind and helpful. They gave me tips on what to see in Kochi and to try Janmen.

AustraliaWe were unaware that access to the showers & toilets was outdoors which made our stay less comfortable in Winter. Only comfortable common area for the private rooms was a bar also open to the public which closed at 8pm. Private rooms were basic without comfortable seating. Kitchen facilities were extremely limited, again with no space to sit for eating, & also required outdoor access. Western beds were very hard.
Super clean & modern bathrooms. Staff were very helpful. Location was convenient to station & big supermarket.

Germany- bed was uncomfortable (too hard); futon works on a tatami but not really on a wooden board - room door opening/ closing was really noisy (the lock device was not really the problem, but the door wouldn't close quietly even when trying) - bar was not open :(
- close to the center (Hirome market, shopping district, etc...) - really helpful and friendly staff (made it possible to check-in late) - very clean, modern style rooms/ bathrooms

JapanNothing in particular but it is pretty expensive for a hostel but the amenities it comes with, just make sense. So, it was fine for me as the location was very convenient too.
The entire interior was so modern and feasible to use around the areas. The shower rooms were especially excellent. The bed was super comfy and I had a good sleep. I checked in later (21:35) than their usual hours and I also had to check out really early (5:35) the next morning. So, I couldn't do the formal check-in and check-out process in the hostel reception and they let me do a self-check-in, and all the details and rules were mentioned in a paper kept on my bed. I came, checked in, had a relaxing shower, packed my luggage silently, slept, woke up, got ready, and checked out without any trouble. I am very grateful for the self-check-in and check-out and the location was very convenient too as Kochi Station and Bus Terminals are nearby. Not kidding, but the hostel looked so boujee from outside when I arrived at night, I almost thought maybe it was not the one I booked. LMAO.

SwitzerlandWay too thin 'mattress', 4F without elevator, noisy (stairs in front of hostel should maybe only be used for emergencies). Noisy also in rooms (keypad from door, door itself, no noise canceling whatsoever through bunks). Not a very charming place. For one night okay.
Nice staff! Thank you.

JapanThe futon was a little thin and there is not a lot of noise insulation. I sleep like the dead so it didn’t bother me but for others I’d keep it in mind if you are a light sleeper.
The property is really nice, aesthetically it’s really nice and it is extremely clean.

JapanI stayed here before a few months ago and really like the common space and breakfast. But this time it was locked off and no staff was there in the morning, with no notice, no staff available, despite staff telling me I could at check in the day before. Not sure what's going on but rather overpriced and disappointing if this is normal.
Building is nice, location is convenient, and the bedrooms are comfortable.
