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...).

IndiaParking is on the street. Wish it could be in a private parking space.
Very friendly hosts. The owner took the trouble of guiding us on all aspects of the temple visit - verbally and by WhatsApp message. He also guided on good places to eat. Location is very good - less than 5 min from the temple entrance. Lot of thought has gone into furnishing the room with what is needed by travellers.

My stay here at Senthil Akam has been one of the best. The place had everything I needed to make my stay Happy, Secure and Friendly. The owners who are both retired academics are friendly, caring and genuinely hospitable. The staff are very kind and obliging. One of the important thing for me is that the owners are very much present in the compound, which means things went well and things got done. These service apartments are aimed at families. Some rooms are interconnected rooms. Everything from Hot water, WiFi, Washing Machines, Fridge ( in the kitchen) Fans and AC Units WORKED. The staff are there to help with errands.Tea and Coffee making facilities available free of charge in the kitchen Also, Because the place is part of a jewellery shop, there are security cameras and the compound is secured well. I felt completely safe staying in this lovely place. Even when I came back very very late at nights after concerts etc, the neighborhood felt safe. The location is centtral to the Temple. I would like to thank the owners and staff for being so helpful, kind and taking care of this Solo Traveler.

FranceClean, spacious, gracious host, family place, walking distance to South Entrance of the Temple. has kitchen to make tea, coffee. very useful especially for family and with kids. 4 single beds which were clean and comfortable. certain comments mention bed bugs, mosquitos and other things like no bathtub or shower. frankly, those are nitpickers who have to find a fault with anything. what next no swimming pool, sauna etc.,? people come to Tillai to visit the temple or to take shower in a bathtub ? and no there were no bed bugs and doors/windows were kept closed, so no mosquitos either.

United KingdomNice house wi the excellent overall facilities. We were in the first floor. Great experience too! If you have family with elderly people travelling, please make sure you ask for ground floor. The owner is a generous and an excellent individual. We were travelling with elderly parents and had been unaware that we were booked for the first floor. But he made sure we were as comfortable as possible. Excellent access to the temple too! Centrally located!
