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...).

IndiaThough the stay had its positives, getting there was tough. It was about 4 km from the main road on a very narrow path, making it especially hard at night, and turning the car around was difficult too.
The owner's cooperation, the availability of kitchen facilities for morning tea, and the beautiful outside view all contributed to a very pleasant experience.

MalaysiaThe photos showed in booking.com did not represent the place we stayed. I came with a different imagination to find out a different place to stay. Place where we stayed was not clean, too sandy. Not enough utensils or cleaned utensils. We were charged for good and service tax but it was not worth paying. However we managed with the tiny area or places for all 6 of us.

IndiaThe entrance ramp hump is too huge which impacts vehicle to enter the property premises and parking on the road side needs parking assistance (family or friends) due to narrow rd size

IndiaThe stay was overall fine. However, since the host was elderly and managing things alone without any staff, we had to request basics like towels, handwash, soap, and plates multiple times. There weren’t any provisions for tea or coffee either. The kitchen is available, but it wasn’t clear whether it’s fully equipped. So I’d suggest going prepared—carry your essentials, plan to cook your own meals, or check if Swiggy delivers in the area. Otherwise, the nearest city with food options is about 2 km away.
The location was lovely, and staying together as a family in one big space with 9 beds across three rooms was a real plus! The host was very friendly and easy to talk to—she speaks Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and English, which made communication smooth and comfortable.

IndiaAnyone booking this property please read this review if you dont want to ruin your vacation. This property is owned by an old lady in her 70s. It's very evident that she has no clue on technology use. And plz for heaven sake don't go with the photographs posted online. She has 6 portions (so called cottages) in this place. And has posted pictures probably of the newest. I went by the pictures and booked this stay and called this lady for confirmation. She seemed clueless and said she will get back to me. After a while she called and said she has received the booking update. She again called after a hour and asked for advance payment. I paid her 1.5k advance without hesitation. But this lady was very cunning and never revealed any of her plans. Only upon arrival (we visited on a long weekend in April-summer vacation) she showed us the portion that she planned to accommodate us. As somebody else mentioned in their comment it was a 'garage'. Oldest rooms of her house was given to us. I am sure this lady received bookings from multiple sites and didn't know to block ones that were confirmed by other sites. And shamelessly she asked me for the remaining money. I can't believe I paid 5k for the dirty rooms of her own house. I could literally walk to her bedroom from my portion. I mean to say zero privacy. I could have definitely gone for a better option if I was informed in advance about the actual place she planned to accommodate us. Considering factors like her age (must be 75 plus) and the peak season - non-availability of rooms/wastage of time in hunting a better option on the actual day of vacation, we decided to adjust. But I will never suggest this place to anyone. Parking facility is bad. There were 4 cars on the narrow parking area. We had to leave for sightseeing at 6 am on Sunday morning. We had no option but to disturb an young couple that early in the morning just to remove their car so that we could take our car outside.
Few more negatives: Roads are narrow but decent location. Not a single shop nearby. We wanted some toiletries as nothing was provided despite charging 5k for her haunted house (best part is that this granny told us some old stories and mentioned that she has 9 children who stay in ooty, but none stay with her in this haunted house). Bachelor's may somehow adjust, but definitely not for couples, couples with kids or elderly people. If she can't host guests she should simply enjoy retirement as she has enough for her living. Please don't ruin our precious vacations with your dream projects like this.
