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 reviewComfy room with ac and everything necessary. Also the location up the hill behind the temple is nice as it is more quiet. And you can walk to the temple or the beach in 5 minutes.
Shower was a bit weak, just exchanging the shower head should fix the issue.

Verified reviewThe room is ok ,its clean ,wash room is ok …
The bed is a 5 cm foam and not comfortable at all, the hot water 💦 is separate from the shower . So you need to put the hot water in a bucket and afer mix with cold water from the shower .🚿 No mosquito net in the window. But i always carry a mosquito net in my bag in case .
Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you found the room clean and comfortable. We also appreciate you mentioning the issues with the bed and hot water system. We’ll look into improving both of these to ensure a more comfortable stay for future guests. As for the mosquito net, we understand it can be helpful, and we’ll consider adding them to the rooms. We value your comments and will work to enhance the overall experience. We hope to welcome you again!

Verified reviewThe staff (the guardian at the entrance) was VERY HELPFUL and lovely.
The bed was hard, the toilet minuscule and the water pretty much always cold... It's alright for a budget traveller, but I've been in better places for the same price.

Verified reviewThe hospitality at this homestay was incredible. One of the owners, who lives in the homestay, made my stay a breeze. More than happy to organize transportation to and from, how to get around the city, anything i needed anything during the stay. Location is about a 10 minute walk to the beach, and there's some lovely cafes around the cliff face within 5-10 minute walk. Rooms were tidy, clean, and quiet during the evenings. If I was to ever return to Varkala, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again
Nothing 🙂
We will be happy to host you again James..🥰
