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...).

AustraliaThe small cottages were very comfortable and set in beautiful gardens, so very peaceful atmosphere. It was only a short walk down a lane to arrive at the North Cliff Varkala where the cafes etc were located. The manager & his assistant were such pleasant people, who made sure that we had everything we wanted, they were so helpful.

IndiaI booked this way before and it was confirmed as well .when we reached the destination then only we came to know that that room is already handed over to someone else and host said that since we didn't pay any amount upfront they had to give it to someone but then it's clearly mentioned in booking.com site that we need to pay that amount only at the time of check-in..Hence we literally got shocked hearing this.. It was really a worst experience coming all the way from so long and hearing from staff that we don't have the room which was prebooked. Booking.com officials need to take care of this concern very seriously so that going forward guests like us won't get suffered badly like this If they want to insist us to pay it up-front it could have been confirmed via site.As we were not aware of this, hence we had to book another resort directly.

IndiaThe booking.com description does not say that 1. It has no AC in most rooms. The rooms have no proper ventilation. The windows have broken nets. We had to open it once as it was suffocating inside. But we got mosquitoes and lots of bugs in return in night. 2. The booking.com website says that there are 'on-site restaurant' and a 'coffee shop'. Unfortunately its a lie. 3. The breakfast is served unusually late.. after 9 am.. it does not mention anywhere. That too no proper continental food or drinks, while booking.com website pictures shows nice fruit drinks, nice soups etc etc.. Nothing is there. 4. It is a disappointment to get inside the inn from the outside road. The connection is so narrow if there is already a car, you will get stuck. Conclusion: Booking.com should delist this property. This is not a standard that should be maintained. Please look into it.
There is nothing to like. It's all a sham.

IndiaNot a total dislike, but it will be a great help if there is a small tea stall or something in it. There is no restaurant inside the property, but that's ok, for there is a lot more to explore just walking distance away on the cliff with sea view.
Such a calm and pleasant atmosphere. There was utmost silence and you will feel the peace. All staff members were with happy faces and smiles.

Australiaas above
first the good, the garden is nice and well maintained and its close to clifftop restaurants and shops. but… rooms are too small and closely situated. our room was very dark and airless and we had a bamboo lattice wall between us and the neighbours. we were told when we arrived that there was no breakfast despite our booking.com saying it was included. there was no sign it was provided. We negotiated a room for a second night without breakfast for 3,000. breakfast options nearby are good - try ABBA. and yes we stayed a 2nd night but the first one had no neighbours and we thought it easier than moving. the bed was hard with a single pillow each and a rough sheet. bathroom became a sauna through the day. so in conclusion yes it was relatively a budget option but would recommend looking elsewhere for bit more comfort and privacy.

IndiaThe narrow road passage to reach Savithri Inn. But that is adjustable. The path to reach Cliff is quite narrow and you have to walk through that to reach the beach.
The location itself. Calm and quiet. Overall, I had a great experience with Savithri Inn; staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect to celebrate a birthday weekend. Recommended One.

IndiaThere is not enough light inside the room. It was all moody and dim. There wasn't enough space as the room was conjuncted. AC was not working properly. There was no wifi or any sort of internet connection. There was no complimentary food given.
