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 only downside was that the toilet was small compared to the other hotels, and the WC was placed right in front of the door, which felt a bit awkward..
We stayed in the Timber Lodge Valley View room and had a wonderful time! The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and we especially loved the swing ,it was the perfect spot to relax and to look at scenery. The food was excellent with plenty of delicious options. The staff, especially at the restaurant, were very friendly and made us feel really welcome. Overall, a great experience – highly recommended!

IndiaThe approach road is narrow and bumpy, which can be challenging for some vehicles. Service can be a bit slow during busy hours, and Wi-Fi connectivity is patchy in some areas. Hot water supply was also inconsistent at times.
We loved the stunning valley views, peaceful ambience, and well-maintained property. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a nice variety, and the activities like the bonfire and nature walks added to the charm.

A Truly Memorable Stay at Great Trails Kodai – May 1st & 2nd We had a truly pleasant two-day stay at Great Trails in Kodaikanal during May 1st and 2nd. The moment we settled in, it started raining — transforming the entire atmosphere into a cool, misty retreat, a delightful contrast to the harsh summer heat we left behind in Erode. From the very beginning, the hospitality at GRT was exceptional. The staff made us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay. The food was absolutely delicious — especially the Alphonso mango juice, which was simply mind-blowing! What made the experience even more heartwarming were the little surprises. A lovely Punjabi family staying there gifted a toy to our child — when we tried to return it, they insisted and even gave us another one. GRT also surprised our kids with gifts and took a beautiful family photo, which they printed and gave to us as a keepsake. Such thoughtful gestures made the stay truly special. Overall, it was a wonderful, value-for-money vacation, and we’d love to return to GRT again for more beautiful memories.

United Arab EmiratesBreakfast (6.5/10): The food was decent but did not live up to expectations. The menu lacked variety, and the taste was fairly average for the price charged. There's definite room for improvement here. However, the staff at the breakfast hall were very courteous and helpful. Cost: The cost was surprisingly high, nearly double the off-season rates, as the booking was done at a late stage from our part. While the experience was enjoyable, the high pricing felt a bit unjustified considering some of the shortcomings. Overall: The resort offers a mix of luxury and natural beauty, making it a great getaway for relaxation. However, the high cost and average food quality may deter some travelers. If you plan to visit, make sure to book well in advance for better rates.
I recently stayed at this resort, and overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few drawbacks. Here's my detailed review: Location/Ambience/View (9/10): The resort is nestled in a stunning location with breathtaking views of hills and playful fog that provided a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The natural surroundings and the well-maintained property added to the charm. The resort offers some paid and free activities like trekking, zip line, offroad jeep rides, bonfire with games for guests etc. Room (9/10): The room (wooden chalet) was spacious, beautifully designed, and with the sofa bed provided a comfortable stay for two adults and two children. The comfort and attention to detail made the stay enjoyable. Cleanliness (9/10): The property, including the rooms and common areas, was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It was clear that hygiene is a priority at the resort. Room Service (9/10): The room service was prompt, professional, and courteous. The staff ensured that all requests were addressed quickly and efficiently.
