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...).

United KingdomQuiet location with the guest house set in a beautiful garden & yet only a short way to the local shops etc. A warm welcome extended by Gaia the owner extended to the helpful staff. The rooms communal areas and a pristine clean kitchen were maintained to a high standard. A delicious breakfast served every day & I enjoyed cooking in the clean kitchen!!. A pleasurable 3 week stay. No hesitation in returning on a future visit to Auroville.

Switzerlandi hoped for some fresh fruits for breakfast, but this is whining on a high level. ;-)
Wow, the garden is beeeeaaaautiful!! as well as the whole accommodation. The communal area (living room, veranda or rooftop) invites to chill, read or do some yoga/meditation. The rooms are big, bright with many windows, clean and super comfortable. The bathroom provides hot shower. The bed is extremely comfortable. And the staff is super friendly - i would come back. :)

IndiaThe staff was helpful but there is room improvement. I would have liked more communicative staff in the reception room. There is so much about the property that they can tell. I would have liked more communicative staff in the accommodation who can ask us our requirements and provide it.
Breakfast was up to the mark. The property was beautiful. The owners have put their hear in it. The architecture and the garden are outstanding. It's a very peaceful and relaxing and one can just stay in the property and enjoy the ambience. It must be the one of the best properties in Auroville.

United Arab EmiratesA lovely lodging surrounded by serene gardens, perfect to relax with a cup of tea and read your book. The whole atmosphere is very calming and peaceful, perfect to recharge. The room was exceptionally clean. My room came with the private terrace, which was an added bonus. You definitely need to arrange some mode of transport to get around, though it’s a 15 min walk to the Auroville road, where you can find all the shops/ cafes.

IndiaIt seemed to be a bit more rule oriented than I am used to in such stay places with a common kitchen and community vibe. Two things specifically, 1) breakfast are specific limited items. As with hotels of different budget ranges I have been used to getting a buffet which is all you can eat, sometimes there may be only 2 or 3 items but it's usually all you can eat. Here I got a piece of paper telling me my options - two slices of toast and 1 cup of tea or 1 bowl of muesli or something like that. The portions felt v less, so I wasn't excited abt it much. but I don't know what was the scene in reality becaause I didn't go for any brkfast ... Mostly due to this limited quantities.. I don't like having half a meals. 2) the washing machine costs 400 INR for one use. Plus, the washing is done by staff, so we can't use it whenever we wish. So, if we have some urgency with regards getting clean clothes, it may not be possible. Moreover, I had an issue - my booking mentioned FREE washing machine.. so I raised it with the office staff and he basically said the mistake was from booking.com so he can't do anything abt it. And I have to talk to booking.com directly. I have usually met a lot more accommodative and helpful hosts especially in places with common kitchen spaces and community vibe as this place had. Ashrams however can be quite unaccommodative sometimes, on the other hand... So I think this is due to that.
The garden is brilliant and also that the rooms are very well ventilated with a lot of windows ... The ambiance of rooms Are well thought out with the garden vibes outside.. We can order good meals from the auroville app. The host did invite me for dinner one of the times.. though I already had plans to eat out that night.
