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.).

An oasis of green, the perfect escape from the beach heat and instantly inviting from the moment you walk down the path. It was very tranquil, cool and quiet. Each room has its own table for eating breakfast but also just sitting out to read/do some work etc. The mixed Keralan/English breakfast was great and they even made a good coffee! It was spotlessly clean - not something we’ve experienced in other places we’ve stayed in India! The linen and the towels were also better quality than we’ve had at other places in the same price range, and the shower was good. The AC and fan were also both good. It’s a family run property who are extremely welcoming and friendly and go out of their way to make your experience better. We were driven in the owner’s tuktuk to our massage that they helped us organise, and also asked if we would like to see their local temple at the start of some religious holiday celebrations, which we felt very lucky to be able to experience. The owner’s son also made sure we got into our taxi safely as we left and offered to get us fresh bottles of water for our onward journey.

United KingdomGreat location and setting. Room was spacious with aircon that was quiet. The owners were brilliant and food was great. Turns out they have a Tuk Tuk and so took us to the local temple. We were worried at the start as it seemed too cheap and so we thought there must be an issue but it’s the best place we’ve stayed in since arriving in India 2 weeks ago.

A Perfect Stay Amidst Nature Recently, my wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful homestay, and it was truly a memorable experience. The room is nestled within a beautifully maintained garden that feels like a tropical forest. Mr. Renjith, the owner, has done an incredible job of creating a serene eco-friendly retreat while preserving the charm of a classic Kerala home. The ambience was enchanting, especially at night and in the early morning, with nature all around us. It’s inspiring to see passionate individuals like Mr. Renjith contributing to tourism in such a thoughtful way. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for the hospitality—keep up the great work!

United KingdomThe fact we couldn't stay longer .
The helpfulness of the family when we arrived in the thunderstorm was quite a special moment to say the least . We couldn't make it out as the weather was so bad . They made us some food of their own. This was an amazing meal, we had had to take the recipe back with us ! The location is so close to the beach (5 min walk) and their garden was spectacular! Only wish we could achieve this in the uk . The room was exceptionally clean upon arrival with great facilities. We have had two weeks in kerala, this was the best home stay by far .
