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...).

IndiaThe owner and the manager Akhil very customer friendly, the room is very clean and neat, it's on the cliff itself and best place and within budget. I have asked for a birthday surprise for my fiancee and they helped me out with the cake and flowers. I would definitely recommend this not only for helping me out with whatever i asked for but its also on the cliff and walkable distance to autostand and other necessities. I feel it's best than any other on the cliff. It's was very exceptional experience from this hotel. I didn't take any photos of the room but the photos that hotel are the same without any modification.

CanadaThe room I had did not have a glass the separate the shower and toilet as shown in the pictures. This should be updated when booking the room.
Nice big room with fan, ac and hot shower. The bed is a bit hard if you are ok with that. The room has a kettle as well. The location is perfect right near the Tibetan market and about 1 min to get to the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful.

IndiaNothing. It's a budget stay so temper your expectations accordingly . My room did not have sea view, but it's 20 steps away so not a big deal. The wifi is weak, will recommend the host to upgrade to hi-speed wifi. With the wifi provided, you can do basic browsing, but you won't be able to stream videos or take business calls.
1. Spot clean rooms 2. Modern furnishing of the room 3. 20 steps from beach 4. Helpful staff 5. Right in the middle of everything interesting in Varkala, bars, food, cafes, yoga, massage, kayaking, you name it.

IndiaThe rooms were reasonably big, were clean, had fan and AC, water bottles and kettle provided. Great value for money. Excellent location very close to the cliff with all the cafes and market, walkable from the beach. There's a veg restaurant upstairs for quickly grabbing food as well. The manager Akhil was very helpful - got us medicine when we needed, arranged for auto and cabs, gave us references to surfing classes. We even got to check-in early when we reached in the morning and they kept our luggage for us after check-out.
