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):
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.
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.).

United StatesOur room's window was covered by a screen which let in very little natural light. Overall, some preventative maintenance would be worthwhile. For example, cleaning and painting the bathroom door in our room, and giving the refrigerator a thorough clean-out.
There are a number of Hanu Reddy Residences in Chennai. My husband and I stayed at the one in Wallace Gardens for 4 nights in late February. We reserved our room for the night before our very early morning arrival. We let the hotel know our flight information and the time that we expected to arrive, and they made sure someone was on duty to check us in. (Press the bell next to the front door.) Our room (#5) was a large, comfortable, if a little tatty, front-facing room with a ceiling fan and a/c. The bed had a good, firm mattress. Good water pressure in the shower, however the bathroom was scruffy. Daily cleaning, with fresh towels, toilet paper, toiletries, and a large bottle of water. The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was included in our reservation: A small buffet as well as freshly cooked eggs, dosas, poori, and so on. We had dinner at the hotel one night, and it was tasty and filling. The hotel has a large rooftop that could be developed into a pleasant space for guests.

IndiaFor the same price point and room size, a good hotel would have provided more facilities and comfort. For a services residence with basic facilities, the property was not value for money.
The property is an old independent house with 5 bedrooms converted into a serviced residence. There are 3 rooms on the ground floor, along with a drawing and dining room. The property is a neat and quiet one with no frills, but essential facilities provided.

United KingdomEverything was fine.
The room was comfortable and the shower was separated by a wall and a curtain from the rest of the bathroom. There was a nice terrace on the first floor. The staff were helpful, especially Ranjan, who assisted us in getting tuk-tuks and advising us on shopping facilities. He also phoned our taxi driver when he was late coming to pick us up. Breakfast was adequate, with a choice of Indian or European food.

AustraliaWalking around that area the roads are a bit rough and busy during the day and not really any footpaths but hey that’s most of India.
We only had 2 nights here but enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and charged us to another room after I had a minor issue with our first room. The two rooms we saw were basic but fine and they provide a kettle and tea bags. It was pretty quiet and we slept well. Breakfast was basic Indian curry but they also offered omelette which was nice. It’s a good location with lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. We went to a great Asian restaurant called Mama Goto Fusion for lunch and Little Italy restaurant almost opposite for dinner which was very good too though neither of which served alcohol . We found a bar that served alcohol nearby called Secret Story. For our sightseeing we used Red Taxi when we could which was very good and cheap and the odd tuk tuk. Something to note that whilst all the rooms had windows you can’t actually see out of them as they seem to be frosted glass and also covered with mozzie screen. I like to see out but it was only for 2. nights and we were out most of the days anyway. Would recommend .

IndiaGrateful for a bedside lamp for bedtime reading.
excellent location in a quiet tree lined locality, with almost no traffic to disturb the tranquil atmosphere of the guesthouse. Clean, spacious well appointed rooms, equipped with tea- coffee maker and fridge. Efficient and helpful staff are always attentive to guests needs, ensuring guests are well looked after. A hearty breakfast is served with care. Lunch and dinner available on request. High level of safety and security, suitable for single women for whom safety is a priority. overall, I always enjoy a very comfortable stay. A home away from home.

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like, however, there was a bit of an issue that some local tuk tuk drivers were often confused as to which Hanu Residency they were taking us to. We had to explain that it was near the Apollo Hospital, and even explaining it was at Wallace Gardens didn't always get us to the right venue. Needs more explicit information.
Pleasant stay at Hanu Reddy, staff friendly, attentive, and helpful. Organised a very early morning taxi to the local train station for us. Meals were arranged at suitable times for us. We had a nice, clean room, with the bonus of a large, shared balcony area.
