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...).

IndiaThe linen & towels could have been cleaner. We used our bedsheet only hence didn't feel it much though.
The location & facility is good. Its 5 minute walk to promenade beach & good for evening stroll.Rooms are big & spacious . Very good ventilation too. Parking is there in front of the building & very convenient to park .We carried our electric stove with some utensils & was able to cook for our kid. Owner who stays below is extremely humble & helpful. You open your balcony door & see a 100 year old beautiful church is a bliss

IndiaSuggestion to the management: Information given in the description/listing should be updated time to time Recommendation to visitors: 1. If you want a kitchen, call the property before you finalize the booking as you may end up paying money for using a gas cylinder on daily basis. 2. The management team needs to be quick with their response and action. All clients won't be the same.
Our stay was exceptional. The staff were welcoming, and the room provided utmost comfort with amenities. The dining experience was a delight, featuring a variety of local cuisine. Huge 2 bedrooms with two king size beds. Located centrally, it was convenient for sightseeing and business. Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

United KingdomIt might have been a misunderstanding but we had to pay for the room as soon as we arrived in cash, which felt a little odd. Because we ended up mostly visiting White Town, we had to walk the same 15 ish minute route a few times per day, but that isn't the hotel's problem! The best places to eat aren't necessarily located near the hotel, but if you don't mind the walk it's fine.
We ordered a double room even though there was just two of us. This was an accident, but we're glad we did because we we had a full living room area and kitchen with a fridge which was a pretty good deal considering the price. The hotel is decently placed to walk to all the major attractions. You do have to cross a busy road, but it's totally fine and there are lovely colourful buildings on the road to take pictures of whilst you wait for the busy Indian traffic!

IndiaParking can be an issue if there are lot of guests with 4 wheelers. but not a huge challenge. the towels need to be replaced as I could feel they are almost worn out.
the location of the property is apt. though the property design seems a bit weird yet for a traveller who wish to book just to grab a night sleep after a long day of sightseeing, its one of the best option available

IndiaPrice of the stay was a bit on the higher side.
The one bedroom was excellent and kept up to our expectation. Stay was in the centre of the city and accessible to main places. Walkable to the rock beach. Pondicherry is a small city usually can be explored in 4 days but there are famous outlets which can take a little extra days. Overall the experience was ok but nothing like Goa. I never get bored in Goa.

IndiaEverything, the property is very small, no ventilation and there are mosquitoes everywhere, washrooms are smaller than the one found in the train and equally unhygienic, jet didn't work, no balcony (guess what ? They converted the balcony/utility area into washroom and it opens directly into the kitchen. ) The handwash dispenser was filled with dishwasher liquid and was too dirty to touch. In short this is an overpriced property. Please avoid staying here.
Worst property ever experienced while travelling, no hygiene, no supportive staff, rude behaviour by the manager.
