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...).

IndiaI am a television freak and there was no TV in my room so that was a little disappointing.
The location was good and the property is just by the beach. So you will have beach access.

The resort is right on the beach. Very convenient and beautiful views. Peaceful and serene. Basic toiletries were provided. AC was working well. Staff was friendly and polite. Great cold coffee. Food was decent.

United KingdomThere is no negatives to say really. But only thing to be aware of is the pathway at night time into the main hub is not lit and can be a problem if you have mobility difficulties. But you can get a tuk tuk for 150 rupees.
Peaceful location away from the centre and right on the beach.

United KingdomNothing!
The staff were exceptional. Everyone we encountered at the hotel was polite, helpful and friendly, especially the young men working in the restaurant (Amit and others). They are kind to local stray animals which means a lot to us! The room was clean, had a fan and AC. Well equipped bathroom with warm shower. Bottled water was provided each day which was a nice touch. We ate at the restaurant for every meal during our 2 night stay in Varkala and the food was delicious. The hotel is on a coastal walk with great sunset view points and sea eagles 5 mins away. There isn't anywhere to access the sea directly from the hotel but it is quite choppy anyway (August). You need to walk north for maybe 30 mins to get to a larger beach.

India1. Room conditions were pathetic. After raising a complaint with the manager, the air conditioning was not working correctly. He said that you can leave and book somewhere else. Since I was travelling with a small baby, I had to adjust and use a hand fan. 2. facility: No TV, No hair dryer, No locker, No fridge and No proper locks 3. Service take lot of time
