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...).

ItalySurprisingly enough, some basic things were missing in the room like soap and toilet paper, something you usually find also in very basic guesthouses.
Very central location less than 5 mins walk from Varkala’s cliff. Staff was very helpful.

GermanyAll good.
Very kind staff that helped with anything, organised a later check out as well as a ride to the train station. They were extremely supportive when I had a question. Nice room for a one night stay with attached bathroom and free water refill which was everything I needed. All clean and cozy. Will definitely come back:))

IndiaFacilities were just okay. I expected a little more spacious room with more amenities like kettle ,coffee, or tea sacket.
The host was really friendly. It was more like a homestay. Felt really comfortable. The room and toilet were clean and properly maintained . I really enjoyed it there.

Poland-An additional chair on the terrace would be nice. One is not enough ;) -Not enough furniture in the room. We didn't know where to place our clothes+hangers would be a good idea too. -During the night there are many bugs in the corridor on the floor. Something should be done about it.
The house is located close to the sea and the turistic area, which we really liked. Everything was pretty clean. I had the impression that the building was renovated recently. Nice hammocks in the garden.

United KingdomThe hall was super clean, the room was horrible, dirty walls , bedsheets and pillows. Totally doesn’t look like on the pictures. It could be a very good place. It would be enough to paint the walls and change the bedsheets and cushions.

I had a pleasant stay at SkyLounge Residency in Varkala. The staff were attentive and took the time to show me different room options, ensuring I was happy with my choice. They were also flexible and accommodating when my plans changed, which made the experience stress-free. The room was very clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable place to relax. The location is another highlight—close enough to walk to the cliff and enjoy the area, but far enough from the busy streets to feel peaceful. Overall, a great option for a calm and comfortable stay in Varkala.

IndiaOverall the room/hotel is really good, neat, and well maintained. But, I personally had a horrible night there. I stayed there for a night. Had to spend all night without electricity. I had to function and move around in pitch darkness. I had to sleep in my car after midnight as they couldn't even provide backup for one fan. I would have appreciated it if they provided an answer or if they would have acknowledged the fact they had a power issue.
