Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

New ZealandBeing out of Munnar meant needing to travel by bus to get into the city or tuk tuk. Good to know that there is a bus that goes right past the top of the drive towards town and they will stop for you if you call out and wave them down. 20rs for a ride in.
Amazing scenery, being just outside of Munnar you are in the thick of the great outdoors and surrounded by lush green hills. The other travelers who I met there were lovely and overall it has a great vibe to it.

United KingdomThey need to add privacy curtains on the dorm beds and anti-slam doors for the dorm. Impossible to close it quietly! Also,the lack of a kitchen is a shame, especially since they don't allow outside food. If they don't serve it (eg fruit) just allow guests to have it. People will still eat there as the food is good and cheap!
The staff really made this place for me. Kim and Wang Jim are so friendly and accommodating. Kim even serenaded us on his guitar which was really great. The views are beautiful and the beds are comfy. There's a table football table and a carrom board so you can play and socialise.

FinlandIf you get here, make sure you have scooter rented beforehand, it's very hard to go around without it and Munnar only have very limited amount of scooters. Some also don't rent them for this accommodation due to their steep road.
It's located with very nice view, peaceful, organizes nice trips for people who don't have scooter. Staff is great!

United KingdomNothing, but it can be slightly complicated that you have to pay everything up front before you arrive which can be trickier with an international card if you don't have an Indian bank account or UPI - my booking was actually cancelled because I was out of phone reception up the road in Marayoor when these messages asking for payment were being sent, but quickly & helpfully reinstated once I found some wifi and was able to respond..
Quieter option than the Zostel next door which owns the place, we were basically left alone to get on with it so if you want service & sociability maybe look at the Zostel but if you want peace & quiet this is the spot! Lovely comfy dorm with a spectacular balcony view. No local food nearby but the Zostel's cafe is good and not too expensive. Buses to & from Munnar can drop you at the corner (ask for the Moolakada at Pallivasal) for the steep 5min walk down to the hostel, so it's easy to get to & to get into town when you need.

IndiaEverything was fine but just one point as this is a new property and they owns zostel as well so they are more focused on zostel. Please focus on this property as well and increase the number of staff in this property.

United KingdomFood is terrible. So bland. Staff are pleasant but so incredibly unhelpful and useless. The hostel is out of the way and can be found down a VERY steep hill. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get into town via bus or tuk tuk. They don’t even have a number for a tuk tuk driver. There is no way of organising any activities. They advertise activities but you need a minimum number of people to organise anything. I got lucky with meeting the people I did in my dorm, otherwise the experience would have been terrible here. This hostel is poorly managed which is a shame because the place has a lot of potential.
Brand new property. Dorm was light and spacious with comfortable beds. Amazing view from the dorm.

MalaysiaNice new hostel with potential but definitely not ready yet. - They offer tours, but need at least 5 people. The total capacity for the hostel is 10. So, the tours could never happen. - Without scooter/motorbike it’s extremely difficult to move around in Munnar. All scooters in the entire city were sold out though. The hostel should inform people pre departure to book your transport timely. - They had an entire menu with great offering, 80% was not available though…. (But the food was good) - As helpful and kind they tried to be, the staff doesn’t speak English very well and whenever you asked them something the answer was usually: I don’t know. - The hostel is extremely noisy. My room was right next to reception so I could all the time hear exactly what was happening there, and all the check ins and out…. Also whenever people were upstairs in the public area, moving chairs, tables, playing fussbal etc, there was so much noise through the ceiling, to the point it woke me up every morning. - Rooms have no AC and are not isolated, lots of ants and insects make their way in. Also no curtain at the balcony door so much light coming in. It was definitely not an unpleasant stay, but I believe there is a lot of room for improvement.
Private rooms are big, balcony with great view, staff super kind.
