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.).

I was searching for property in Alappuzha with a swimming pool facility at an affordable rate. I felt really satisfied after getting this property at a cheap price, maybe because it was a weekday offer. The pool was very clean as well as the rooms. The garden outside was very pretty. The owner helped me booking a shikkara boat ride also at a very cheap price. Very satisfied with the property.

FrancePerfect stay for me, no mistake to point out : )
Johnson is a very nice and accomoding person. Smooth arrival, even if it was delayed by my train issues as Johnson was here to welcome me. Bedroom and bathroom were clean, provided towel and soap wish was very helpful to me. I really appreciated the autonomy to go and come back, especially for walks to the beach that is nearby. The swimming pool was a special bonus for me to conclude my long day of exploring the backwaters and enjoying the very welcoming city of Alleppey.

United KingdomNothing it was a really good experience no complaints
I’m a budget traveller and I was surprised to find a property at such a low rate with a swimming pool, friendly staff, homemade food and clean rooms. It’s close to the beach not far from the town either it’s a really good stay for the price. He also organised a day trip on a houseboat with me and some other guests for free.

Johnson's Homestay was a perfect base for our stay in Alleppey. The beds were very comfortable, the AC worked well, and the brand-new pool was a fantastic bonus. Johnson is one of the kindest hosts we've met—always ready to help with a smile and full of great local advice. He's also a really interesting person to chat with, full of great stories, and his lovely family made us feel right at home.

ColombiaThere’s honestly not much to complain about. Just be aware that since it’s an eco-friendly homestay, some amenities are kept simple — but that’s part of its charm....They are currently building a swimming pool, which will make the stay even more delightful in the future.
This was my second time visiting Alleppey, and I chose to stay at Johnson’s Homestay - Ecohouseboat again because I genuinely love this place! The location is peaceful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the experience of staying on the houseboat is both relaxing and memorable

I had an amazing experience staying at Johnson’s! The house and the accommodation are excellent — clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The location is perfect: peaceful, well..connected, and surrounded by nature...I spent one unforgettable night on their houseboat in the backwaters, and it was truly incredible.
