How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOnly the fact that it was very close to the cliff.
There weren't enough services in the room, the washroom was very untidy , the room was not clean and well maintained. There was no room service. Only the price was less compared to other hotels near it but that doesn't mean the service will be this bad! It's just like a cheap hotel for labourers.

Verified reviewWe really liked the staff's behaviour during our stay. They were extremely friendly and helpful—suggesting places to visit, sharing contact numbers for activities like Varkala mangrove kayaking, and even recommending great local food spots. While checking out, they arranged an auto for us to the station, which was a thoughtful touch. We also received a discount on the room, which was much appreciated. The location of the stay was another big plus—just a short walk from the cliff and the beach, making it very convenient for us to explore the area.
The stay was not worth the money. There was a serious lack of basic facilities and cleanliness. The room had only one charging socket, which was very inconvenient. The mug and bucket provided were dirty, and there was water leakage from the wash basin. There was no hot water available, and overall, the cleanliness of the space was very poor. Most of the basic amenities we usually expect from a stay were missing.

Verified reviewCheck-in seemed smooth.
Had to pay cash. My Indian friend paid with Google pay using their QR code. They did not give us receipts. The room they offered us was below expectation and my friend managed for them to offer us a better room for the booking .com amount we already paid. When we checked out 4 nights later I again asked for a receipt but we already had proof of payment in Google pay. There was no mention that we had not paid enough. Then I could not believe it that they accused us of a no show at the property. That was an outright lie! I think their purpose was to collect a no show fee. The headache of having to deal with this kind of behavior made me angry. I enjoy my travels here in India and find most Indians kind with a good sense of humor. However the social social structure here is very much geared to some extra rupee income. I can easily live with that but people should be honest and not trying to cheat us

Verified reviewVery pathetic rooms, two they repaint and it hectic paint smell..rooms were damaged stage..I rejected the rooms and they did not returned my advance payment of 2000 . I asked to give good rooms or return my money. They refused my request and I had to quit the resort. And for your kind notice, it is no at all resort, it is just local lodge rooms. I wonder how booking.com recommended this to me for 19000 .

Verified reviewThis stay is on the North Cliff. The rooms are small. But the walk on the cliff with so many restaurants and shops is amazing. The cliff in Varkala is a paradise. Once you are here everything is different. You are 100 m from ocean and every where you can see the ocean. Truly gods God's paradise.
