Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Parking is good. If you are coming by car, the hotel staff will help to navigate the police staff to permit. Once you park the vehicle, then it's get difficult to depend on your car to roam around and should be taken out only during exit.
Good place to stay nearby temple. The staff is friendly.

It’s situated in the town and getting to property needs guidance from the hotel staff due to the one way regulations and restrictions . However hotel staff was prompt and helped us without any issues
It was very close to the temple and the glimpse of the gopuram from the room was a bliss

It’s a crowded area and Tempo cannot enter the hotel as the police block all the roads. Only hotel staff are allowed to follow the Tempo and bring it inside the hotel. Permission is granted only to hotel management.
The hotel is beside the Thiruvannamalai Temple, on the south side of Goberam.

Two more bed sheets would have been better.
This is few steps from South Gate. Has hotel next to the premises. Staff are very helpful. Sufficient parking is there. Walkable to main gate. Room is good but they provided only two single comforters we were 4. That is the only problem. They provided kettle when asked for. They provide soaps only. We have to carry brush paste and bed sheets.

There was few times electric black out. Hotel need to avoid this issue.
You are literally stay within the temple compaun. The south tower is right in front when you out of temple. Raja Kopuram is just 5 minutes walk. Felt really blessed to sleep with the temple vicinity. Room was big, two double bed was comfortable. Bathroom was good with hot shower. I will come again for sure.

They don't accept international cards, charge a fee for using any card, both of which were not listed on either the website or booking.com. Room was not ready at arrival, not enough blankets or towels. AC settings didnt work. Staff tried to help but couldn't help. Bathroom shower didn't drain properly, got some ants. All very small things that could be fixed so hopefully can be! :)
I liked that there was hot water and fairly clean. Balcony and lobby was really nice. Location close to South gate made access to temple super convenient. Elevator is also helpful. There is a restaurant right next to the hotel which is convenient. Recess lighting in the room was good. Wifi was strong.

The location of the facility is the best you can ask for if you plan to visit the temple.. the main ashrams are also just less than a couple kms away.. The facility is absolutely clean and neat.. any tie up with the hotel next door for breakfast/ dinner would be an added advantage.. !!

They are constructing restaurant at ground floor so they were working on that its fine, but surprisingly workers are working till midnight 1 am it caused so much disturbance while we were sleeping. I told to the receptionist they stopped for a while and again started at 12 to 1am. It was so annoying and disturbing for us. I know they are doing work but its no brainer to do work at 1am where all the guests are in sleep. We arent staying there for free.
Very near to south gopuram

we travelled by bike and it was fine but it looked like the road was blocked for cars to enter. might be good to talk to the receptionist after booking just to ensure less hurdles
the location was really good. even though they do not have a restaurant currently, the receptionist said it should be up and running soon. also, plenty of other places to eat at a walking distance!
