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...).

The location is good and the breakfast was highlight. good south Indian breakfast spread. The staffs were generally helpful and the rooms are maintained well and its good enough for short business stay.

IndiaOnly one part I did not like was, I came to know on the fourth day that "The drinking water cannot be delivered in the room. If done, it becomes complimentary"! I was wondering why I was not told this on the first day itself ! I kept on asking for drinking water in my room, because I did not know a common facility to fill up the water! And another part I did not like was: The road which take us to the Promenade beach is crowded (I visited the beach by walk). The roads are clean (with no garbage lying beside the roads). The gutters beside the road are open. People have thrown plastic/old cloths into it. There was almost 10 meters wide "suage carrier drainage" while moving across from hotel to the beach. Lot of plastic was gathered into it. I am not sure if any water treatment facility is built up in the city or if the outlet of the drainage, is directly provided into the sea! If the un-treated water mixes with the sea water, it is going to be extremely unhygienic for the sea-creatures as well as for human!
The location of the hotel was quite close to beach and churches. The buffet for breakfast and dinner was simply full of delicious food! The "buffet" turns out to be expensive for a single person. However it was worth it. The room was cozy. The hot water facility was available without any interruptions. I like the respectable staff of the hotel. I particularly got to know GopalKrushna and Akhil both personally. GopalKrushna was outgoing and striking a conversation voluntarily. While Akhil was bit introverted still was there whenever I needed some help.

QatarThe staff could be better trained and groomed, as they seem lost when it comes to customer service. The front desk staff struggle to provide information due to a lack of proper training. Secondly, there is no option for corporate package bookings. there is no option to pay in advance online.
The location is good and the breakfast was excellent south Indian spread. the rooms are neat and clear for business trip. the onsite parking is a good plus to choose this property.

IndiaThe property is a little old and the facilities could use some upkeep. However, the staff is pretty good and offer good service with a smile. A special mention to the security personnel for managing the heavy crowd and also to Ms. Febronia, Mr. Raj Tamang and Ms. Pavani for facilitating a smooth experience.
