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.).

It was a wonderful stay at Nutshell Home Stay, in Trivandrum near airport.The host were friendly and made us feel right at home. The room was cozy and clean, with all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, a real sea view. We ordered our dinner through a food app, which arrived on time at property, Highly recommend for a comfortable and peaceful stay! 👍😊🏠

Very very Peaceful and Relaxing. The Homestay is just right opposite the beach. You can clearly hear the ocean waves. VERY BEAUTIFUL….. The Aunty who prepare breakfast was awesome. We asked few cups of tea and coffee and they just prepare with a smiling face. The Owner is very cool person.

VietnamAll the properties on the stretch where this facility is located should get together and organize very regular clean-up efforts to keep the beach free of plastic and other trash that wash up on the rocks. They could also plant appropriate shrubs. This will add tremendous value and attraction to the location. Otherwise, the ambience will have a depressing feel.
Very friendly, service-oriented staff. Arun in particular was very good, eager to help.. The place is tastefully done up and has very positive vibes.

United KingdomLaundry service is calculated a bit strange. It’s charged per item not per kg (20rs big item, 15rs small item). Instead of calculating it then telling you the price, they give you your clean laundry back and make you count it all up infront of them. Can get quite expensive when you’re being charged 15rs per sock.
Good for 1 night stay before or after airport. The room was basic but had everything we needed. Good AC. Free shuttle to the airport. Can’t comment on the breakfast because we had an early morning flight.

United StatesThe host and staff were very kind and generous. The location is very convenient with a great seaside view of the Indian ocean. Many attractions that Kerala has to offer are within a short walking distance or by car if you prefer. Users are very conveniently located and can meet directly at the guesthouse to take you where you need to go.

The owner and her family are so lovely and cannot do enough for you. We got welcome drinks on arrival. It’s too minutes from the airport which is why most people stay here. The place is like and antique shop with lots of things to look at. There’s a big shared dining area where you are served a lovely home cooked Indian breakfast. Out flight had been changed so we didn’t need to leave till mid afternoon so they gave us the room until then as their next guest wasn’t coming till later and it was great for us being able to shower before leaving. As previous people have said they drop you off at the airport which is great when it’s hot. Our room had a balcony overlooking the sea front.

IrelandThe beach in front is not where one would like to be, but Kovalam is about 30 min by tuk tuk. However this is the right location if you need to be close to the airport
Very clean, the owner is lovely and helpful. Perfect for a short stay if one needs to be close to the airport. I did not use the kitchen and the common living room but it is also possible to use the kitchen and there is a fabulous giant living room at disposal of the guests. The house is very well decorated.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Since I was leaving before breakfast they gave me dinner on the roof terrace. The property is very close to the airport so leaving for an early flight was easy particularly since transport is provided.

From start to finish I was pleasantly impressed with the service this hotel provided. I have recommended them to my family and friends, and will be using again. This hotel is 10 minutes walk away from the airport but the hotel owner would send a driver to collect you as part of your stay. All my requested were met and the staff were friendly and helpful. I couldn’t stay for breakfast but the staff packed me Marsala tea to take with me. The place is so convenient and safe

United KingdomThe beach suffers from littering, despite apparent efforts from the owner. A great shame as has such potential. A neighbour also decided to burn some rubbish on the beach whilst I was staying which meant the accommodation and my room was filled with bad smelling smoke. No efforts to put it out. So the surrounding aren’t always ideal. Also was disappointed that the son of the owner knocked on my door asking for money at 10:30pm when I was trying to sleep for an early flight and had texted his mum agreeing to pay at breakfast the following morning. No apology from the son for disturbance. Weird vibe.
Very close to the airport and drop off was included. The sounds of the waves from the beach were lovely. The room was comfortable and clean, and good breakfast options. The Old Coffee House restaurant isn’t far and a good place to eat. Owner was helpful with queries. Nice toiletries.
