Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Outstanding Stay at THE HAMUSE HOTEL KODAIKANAL A True Home Away From Home I recently had the pleasure of staying at HAMUSE, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me warmly and made me feel truly welcomed. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, setting the tone for a relaxing stay. Impeccable Cleanliness and Comfort The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated, blending modern amenities with cozy touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a long day of travel and sightseeing. I especially appreciated the thoughtful details like the complimentary bottled water, high-speed Wi-Fi. Housekeeping I was very impressed with the housekeeping service during my stay. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with fresh linens and thoroughly cleaned bathrooms. The housekeeping staff were punctual, polite, and always ready to assist, even during odd hours. They paid attention to detail, ensuring everything from dusting furniture to sanitizing bathrooms was done meticulously. Their professionalism and care made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the extra touches, like neatly arranged toiletries and timely room service. Overall, the housekeeping team exceeded my expectations and contributed greatly to a pleasant hotel experience. Exceptional Service What truly sets HAMUSE apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending local attractions, or accommodating special requests, their professionalism and genuine care made my stay memorable. Perfect Location The hotel’s location is ideal — conveniently situated close to major attractions, shopping centers, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city.

* The receptionist who welcomed us had real bad attitude (a guy with trimmed beard and wearing specs). * I called the hotel, to inform that I'll be checking in late, at least 6-7 times before the receptionist picked up the phone. And when I said I had to call many times he simply ignored it. * And that attitude became even obvious at the time of checking-in. His responses were so indifferent and while leading us to the room, he didn't tell us which floor the room was on and sped away from us taking the stairs. I had to call the guy who'd already reached half way the stairs and ask which floor the room was on before deciding whether to take elevator or not.
Location is somewhat at the heart of the town and is accessible easily from other spots. Room was clean had all basic stuffs needed. And all staffs were exceptionally good except one of the receptionists (see comment for "What you didn't like"). And the hotel is located opposite one of my favorite restaurants in Kodaikanal - Astoria Veg. Hotel's breakfast buffet was excellent.
