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...).

It wasn’t just a stay — it truly felt like home. The people around me felt more like family. Vijay, a special thanks to you for making this vacation unforgettable.I met the best people here —Vijay, Veera, Spider and Sam. You all made me feel so welcomed and at home. And the food Akka prepares? Absolutely the best! Everything here is vegetarian, vegan, and organic — and the warmth and support from everyone is beyond words. I’m definitely visiting again. Taking back tons of beautiful memories from this place — it has been the best part of my journey!

India:You’re too good to start if you’re looking for a peaceful stay away from the crowd . Located around Auroville, Healing home and hostel comes with a beautiful building having a pretty looking terrace and a hut in their garden arena offers the best hostel facility to solo travellers and good room set ups for a group of people or families - they hold true to the services they provide in terms of hospitality. Wouldn’t be any less if I’d quote “The peace begins here” as the owner (Vijay) ensures delivering the best of the best available facilities to the guests they host at a very promising fare , Vijay Is a call away if guests are in need of renting a vehicle on a daily basis. The staff (Spidy) affirms the timely information acting as a best service provider to the guests during the phase of stay . Major highlights could be their “Food Menu, that is vegan” do not miss that out as they focus on providing the most healthiest meal to have your health on check , which is absolutely delicious. In addition to the above , the place is a neighbourhood to multiple cafés at a quick access .The sunset view from the terrace is so blissful. A satisfying yet a a peaceful experience over all. 10/10 undoubtedly. Re-visiting soon💕🌸😊🎈

IndiaThe small stretch that connects the place to the main road is broken. I hope the authorities fix it considering the tourist flow.
My stay at Healing Home and Hostel in Auroville was nothing short of amazing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. This place is more than just a hostel—it truly feels like a home, thanks to Vijay and Spydy, the two wonderful hosts who run it. They are friendly, considerate, and soft-spoken, making sure every guest feels comfortable and well taken care of. One of the highlights of my stay was the incredible food they prepared daily. Their local vegetarian meals not only tasted great but also improved my gut health—something I didn’t expect but truly appreciated. Having wholesome, home-cooked meals every day made the experience even more special. The rooms are well-lit and well-ventilated, providing a clean and peaceful space to rest. Cleaning is done daily, ensuring a hygienic and fresh environment. They also have a washing machine, making laundry super convenient for long-term travelers. The fully functional kitchen allows guests to make tea or coffee anytime, which was a great touch for someone like me who enjoys a warm drink while working. Speaking of work, I was provided with a table and chair, allowing me to work comfortably during my stay—something that digital nomads will definitely appreciate! The terrace is huge, offering a breathtaking view of the jungle at the back. At night, the stars are clearly visible, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The sunset views from the terrace are spectacular, making it the perfect spot for yoga, meditation, or simply unwinding. Their garden space is beautifully decorated with string lights, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. They often host bonfires and musical gatherings, fostering a wonderful community vibe. Additionally, there’s a backyard space where they plan to build another hut for guests to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Safety is not a concern here—the location is very secure, and there’s plenty of parking space available.

IndiaI liked the clean and spacious rooms and washroom unlike most other hostels in Auroville. And ofcourse the sunrise from my room window. The staff and owner are very kind and helpful. The rooftop offers breathtaking views of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and night sky.. perfect for star gazing, meditation, reading books. A garden hut for party and bonfire They have a kitchen equipped with all amenities that we can use to cook our meals. It's located less than 1km from Visitors Center in Auroville, not sure why the location here says Pondicherry.
