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...).

BelgiumThe bathroom looks old and could use some freshening up. The tiles can use a good scrub, replacement of toilet seat,... Although it is often the case in India, there were many stains among which a bloodstain on the bedsheets. I don't put energy anymore in asking to change them. Communication could be better. No reply on messages on booking.com or on whatsapp even after receiving another number.
Lovely house with beautiful large colourfull rooms. Nicely decorated. The man who showed us our room was very friendly and smiling. Although his English is limited he did his best to help us as much as he could. We appreciated it very much. It is very quiet at night. We loved the rooftop terrace as well as the private balcony with hammock.

BelgiumAn option for roomservice would have been nice, as there's not much around the hotel for food or drinks.
The building is just so so beautiful and furnished really nicely. The location is nice and quiet. The room and balcony were super cozy and felt very homely and warm.

New ZealandMaybe a couple more pillows for reading in bed! And an armchair, or deck chairs for the balcony, otherwise everything was great! Complimentary breakfast would be good, as done in many other guesthouses.
Stella made the nicest breakfasts every day and was very friendly and helpful The room was as advertised, only better, it was spacious and comfortable; good value for the money paid. It was very hot outside so I didn't use the balcony much, but it was handy for drying washing I loved my room, the colours were very welcoming and it was near the upstairs deck area, which was also very nice.

United StatesThere are a lot of stairs to climb for the rooftop rooms - but the view was worth it.
My room & the rooftop were beautiful and well decorated. So much color! I felt at home. The watchman is very kind and always welcomed me back after a long day of exploring. It’s on a quiet street.

United KingdomIt is about 15/20 mins walk from the edge of whitetown but it's an easy walk just don't want to do it multiple times a day. Breakfast was fine but quite expensive for what you got (eggs, basic bread, coffee and small bananas)
Absolutely loved staying here. The room was lovely and big, colourful and comfortable. AC that worked but not really needed as room kept itself quite cool. Hot water heater that was super hot. Nice desk space and plugs everywhere for charging things. Lovely balcony with sitting hammocks to chill out in. Rooftop was great with lots of tables as well as comfy seating, sun loungers and hammocks. Small kitchen with kettle, plates and cutlery. If you don't feel like walking to town you can order food from swiggy.

United StatesJust be aware that the location is a bit separated from the city center (approx 15-20 min. walk) which is not too bad but not ideal either.
The hotel is absolutely wonderful, the rooms are spacious and clean and have terraces with hammocks, the common area is beautiful and comfortable, the staff are incredibly helpful and responsive with anything you need. The value for money is incredible.

ThailandMy only issue was the distance to the tourist areas of Pondicherry which was about a mile away which I had to do a couple times a day dodging crazy traffic but I accepted it was a form of exercise.
Lovely property with a balcony and view over green fields to the sea. Large room and great big bathroom with adequate hot water for showers. A nice kitchen for guests and outdoor seating for socializing. A really great place.

SwitzerlandWe arrived at 6 am in the morning. There is no 24h reception. Therefore we waited for 2 hours to check-in. Despite there were a lot of empty rooms, we had to wait until noon for our check-in. A lot of little children live in the hotel. As a consequence it can be very loud.
the room and the terrace are very beautiful. The owner organized a bike for us, since you have to walk for 20 minutes to the city center.
