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.).

IndiaBasic amenities like geyser is not there. It will be better if they can install geysers. There is no lift in the property.
Property is near to the Varkala railway station. If you want to stay near to town then go for it. Cliff is around 4Km from property.

IndiaThe price of room didn't match the facilities provided in room. Only 1 charging socket. The bathroom drain was clothed. Water was not draining. Window didn't had mosquito prevalent net to have a proper ventilation. No rope or stand provided to hang the clothes. The cupboard also didnt had lock for safety. During 3 days no cleaning service was offered. Overall I personally didn't find it worth the penny i used. Rooms

IndiaBed Spreads were dirty, No hot water, Fan regulator was broken and it was at full speed- when I asked for some jugaad. No answer. Are they really worried about electricity bill even after charging handsome amount? Because only one switch board with just one charging socket provided. so we are supposed to charge only mobile phone in double bedroom. No lift in the building and no phone on the floor to call someone for help. There were missing items in room such as blanket and towel and I personally I had to climb down 2 floors to pick those from reception. And they charged 5k per night for such service.
Bathroom was clean.

IndiaEverything was great, but adding a few more breakfast options and more outdoor seating could enhance the experience even further. Still, the stay was excellent, and the staff was very attentive. I’d definitely return. Thanks
I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Varkala! The location is perfect—close to the main road yet peaceful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and feel like home, with all the needed amenities. The staff is friendly, polite, and always ready to help, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Jaya's for anyone visiting Varkala—it’s a relaxing, hassle-free spot with excellent service!
