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...).

IndiaInstruct the local police to permit those people coming with valid booking easy access without any hindrance at their ridiculous check point near the helipad. Let them use rationale while executing blunders.

IndiaI liked everything
We stayed at the hotel for two days, and the stay was fantastic. All the facilities were up to the mark. I would especially mention the staff, Vishnu, who helped us in everything from booking vehicles to showing the area. He is such a great person. I would highly recommend people stay there!

IndiaCons: They don't not provide any amenities like brush, shampoo etc. you will only get towel and body soap. Curtains were transparent, no bathroom Matt was provided. No parking for 4 wheelers. You hardly can park 2 wheelers. They banged the door at 10:30 in the morning to check out at 11. When we said it's mentioned as 11:30 check out in booking.com. They said it's an old timings, now it's 11.
Pros: Budget friendly accommodation Location too close to Varkala cliff market and beach Near to all the amenities We had charged Rs.600 more to switch to upgrade room with balcony. Which is fair

United KingdomI thought the customer service was relatively poor. Firstly, I had messages asking for my check in time - it felt like it was quite strict. I communicated clearly when I would arrive, yet there was no one at the property and I had to wait. In fact there is almost never someone in the reception - it would be better if there was, because if you need something like toilet paper or the wifi code, the only option is to call the owner - who didn’t answer my call or reply to my message about wifi until I called him later that day a second time. Finally, check out time is 11:00, and at 10:51 the owner called me twice. I messaged to ask if he called, and he said “Yes pls vacate the room I have another guest on the way”. Seems very pushy to be ringing me to ask me to leave before check out time has even passed. Apart from that, it’s a great place to stay
Very modern property - clean, spacious rooms. Very comfortable bed. The AC works great. Location is very convenient - a 5 minute walk to the cliff. But the property is down a quiet street. Definitely a comfortable place to stay!

IndiaIt's a nice property. Walking distance to the cliff/beach. Parking is at the helipad. The owner and the caretaker both are very humble and caring. Very affordable prices for the said property. Addition of toiletries would be a plus. Good experience overall.

IndiaThe access of 30 m to the building from road is a narrow lane wide enough for two wheelers. But then, most hotels or home stays in Varkala have narrow lane access.
It is a new building and every thing was spic and span. The room and linen was very clean.It was a very comfortable stay. It is 200 meters from the Helipad which is on the cliff overlooking the beach below. All the action in Varkala starts from the cliff road staring from Helipad. Beach is walking distance. The caretaker was very helpful. He handled our suitcases both ways from the road. We saw a peacock on the roof of next building in the evening.
