How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewThe stay was near to the backwater and was ready to go to activities quickly. During season plan your trip which will be more efficient. Because during rainy season you can't go to activities. The breakfast was amazing. The staff was approachable and kind hearted.

Verified reviewThis was cosy home stay run by a lovely warm family. The room was spotless and comfortable, the air con worked perfectly. We were able to go kayaking with the son and he gave us travelling tips too, which we are grateful for. The food was incredible.
The room we had would have been small for a longer stay.

Verified reviewRun by a simple family of three, you get to meet innocent hospitality. Don't expect too much, and you won't be disappointed.
It is a nice and cute house but a car can not approach up to the gate. Access is an issue here.

Verified reviewQuiet area on the waters edge. Kind family. Comfortable bed. Nice Keralan breakfast.
Small room but described as a deluxe family room which is a bit misleading. A way out of the main area- but fine if using a toktok.
Thank you for your feedback ❤️

Verified reviewEden cabana was a real home from home, a proper homestay. TP and his parents couldn’t have been more welcoming, kind and helpful. The homestay has just 2 double rooms and TPs mum made us the best Keralan breakfast we’ve had. We asked TP to arrange a couple of bespoke trips for us -a tuk tuk tour including temples, the Coir museum, Mahani beach and lunch at a “toddy” family restaurant. Top tip if you take away any toddy, either drink it that evening or remember to loosen the lid or risk explosion! Our other trip was an early morning boat trip on the backwaters starting with a beautiful sunrise, lots of bird wildlife and lovely scenery. Fabulous.
There is no restaurant within walking distance of the homestay so you need to take a tuk tuk into town. (Although a home cooked meal is available at the homestay with 4 hours notice. )

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay here. Relaxing location right next to the water. The family are so lovely and really look after you during your stay. Would highly recommend both sunset kayak and sunrise open boat trips - the family were able to help organise both of these for us, and you see much more than you would be able to in a bigger boat. We also enjoyed the homecooked breakfast and dinners that they made for us.
No hot water but it’s so humid anyway that I wouldn’t let that put you off coming

Verified reviewEverything! This was the nicest homestay I have ever stayed at. We were treated like family. The room was lovely and clean with a very comfortable bed. TP took us out for a sunset kayak which was wonderful and he also arranged a sunrise Shikarra boat ride for us. The parents cooked us up the most delicious breakfasts and dinners. Absolutely excellent! The location right in the backwaters was stunning and you felt like you were so far away from the hustle and bustle of Alleppey even though it only took 15minutes to get there. Definitely stay here if you come to Alleppey. So wonderful!!

Verified reviewPerfectly located Homestay, near to the water. Wide room with AC. The best from all were the hosts. So warm and welcoming! T.P. offered to take me around the town and ended being a bid tour. I was simpy taken by his generosity. I had a lovely time and can just recommend the place!

Verified reviewThe property is clean and well ventilated. As it is a home stay, we got homely vibes from the place. Both the host and his mother were humble and welcoming. The host also helped us book tickets for Kayaking and Shikaara at a reasonable price even though it was very last minute and peak season. As for the location, you have to walk on foot for a few metres as it is a little inside. But even this has some perks, kayaking and shikaara start right in front of the house.
Its remote location. It was a little hard to locate on the Google maps; even the locals (auto driver) got confused a little and charged us exorbitant prices till the location.

Verified reviewThe location is attached to Lake, good homestay. Host and staff were very welcoming. Breakfast was very nice. Rooms & bathroom were clean and well built. The place is via a gully but the host was very good so he called out the rickshaw for us when we were leaving.
Though everything was hygienic we saw ants on the bed so asked them to undo-redo the bedsheet. You have walk to the main road to get a rickshaw which is 250m walk. Then you can goto places nearby. So the location has its merits and demerits both.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Eden Cabana; the accomodation was cosy and clean, with a great view next to the river and Tp (Pranav) and his family were so welcoming and hospitable. It was our first time in the Alleppey and Tp was very helpful in arranging our activities (kayaking, boat cruise), and local experiences (toddy shops, the lighthouse, beach sunset). Would definitely recommend staying here, especially if it’s your first time in India or Kerala.
Thank you so much for your kind words We are glad to see that you had a pleasant experience with us, we hope that you visit us again very soon
