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...).

SpainI wish I had stayed more nights here
Very CLEAN, LARGE and SPACIOUS property in Puducherry, offering plenty of room to relax both indoors and outdoors. The terrace is a great spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The rooms are impressively spacious, with very comfortable beds and effective air conditioning that made the stay especially pleasant. The entire hotel feels open and airy, necessary in this city. Perfect place for those seeking comfort and space in a central location.

United KingdomNothing - a key for the front door would make life a little easier but it's not a big issue.
Affordable accommodation located within the picturesque historic district of Puducherry - within walking distance of the seafront and numerous bars and restaurants. Our room was clean and comfortable - no complaints! The courtyard lounge was also a nice place to retreat after a day of sightseeing. Overall an excellent choice for budget travellers!

Indiano room cleaning everyday, providing some basic facilities like a good blanket.
I had an absolutely wonderful stay.I was impressed by the hotel’s stunning aesthetic – modern, elegant, and beautifully designed. Every corner was thoughtfully decorated, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Cleanliness was top-notch! The room was spotless, fresh, and smelled amazing. The linens were crisp, the bathroom was sparkling, and even the smallest details were well taken care of. It truly felt like a luxurious retreat. The ambiance throughout the airbnb was calming, with soft lighting, stylish furniture, and a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. It was a pleasure just to relax and soak in the serene environment. From the moment I walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They were incredibly sweet, always greeting me with warm smiles and offering help whenever needed. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made my experience special. Whether it was the front desk or housekeeping everyone was genuinely caring and professional. I can’t wait to return—thank you for making my stay so wonderful!

United KingdomThe double bed mattress was rather too hard - but that's just personal preference.
A charming place to stay, super clean and comfortable. Large bath towel, mossie screens on all the windows plus plug-in repellent. Both a/c and fan worked well - not too noisy. Low cost laundry service. Use of kitchen with fridge. Good location in a quiet side street, walking distance to the beach and French Quarter with lots of great cafes and restaurants - highly recommend Crepe In Touch. Sandjiv was friendly and helpful - even gave me a lift to the bus station when I left, and made sure I got on the right bus.

United KingdomI was expecting this stay to feel a little like a homestay - homely, friendly, and helpful. For me, it was missing the personal touch... perhaps a reception/host who could advise on where to go, what to do... just general local knowledge.
The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The property itself has a lovely vintage charm. The host was kind enough to let me use a spare room to freshen up after I had checked out in the morning as I had a late afternoon bus to catch. The host also helped arrange transportation for me when needed. I felt safe in the property as the main door was always locked - this is important for me as a solo female traveller

AustraliaAn old heritage home that is well kept and very clean. It is at a good location next to the train station and central areas of town in a quiet residential street. The owner was extremely kind, made us breakfast (although it was not included), and gave us a lift to the station. He even offered us to use his motorbike the day before. There is access to the kitchen and fridge as well and to a small library.

This place is highly recommended. A beautiful 19th century house where you feel like home away from home. Surrounded with beautiful antique pieces and huge common space. The place is closer to white town, rock beach and other main location. Super close to pondi railway station.. Cleanliness is top-notch. Staffs are super helpful. Can help with transportation too. Would love to stay here again when I am back in Pondicherry.
