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...).

United KingdomThe rooms were a little small. It seems to be a bit of party hostel, which is great for some people, but not if you want a peaceful night's sleep
The rooms were clean and comfy, and the social space and pool were both great. It was also well located.

IndiaI was charged a service fee via RazorPay which was over and above the total price and gst. Such service fees by the payment gateway should be charged to the service provider and not the end customers.

IndiaStaff : One staff at reception was not professional, when I was asking about locker keys, he was busy talking on mobile and then computer screen etc. But wasn't really attending to me. Fee : additional fee charged while making payment via razor pay, such charges shouldn't be billed to customers, this should be absorbed by the property.
Very nice interior of room, beds, open balcony. Nice Swimming pool. Nice Lobby.

IndiaCleanliness was bit below levels of the brand especially the swimming pool. I've stayed at the Hostiler before and they were way better and neat in terms of cleanliness compared to this one in candolim.
The property is at prime location everything is easily accessible from it.

IndiaThe staff needs to help pick / drop luggage for room’s assigned on 2nd floor - climbing up 2 storey is uncomfortable, with luggage. The reception staff needs to be more supportive accommodating of guest requests & attentive to welcome them with bell boy support. Self loading luggage is a nightmare. Toilet paper & soap supply needs to be maintained. Water supply on 2nd floor is important
Centrally located , clean, good air conditioning, main road touching & well maintained

IndiaI would have appreciated if there was a cafe.
The location is very good, the candolim beach is a 5-minute walk from the property. The staff was very cooperative and supportive. We lived in a dorm (6x6), the room size was sufficient, only issue was that it had a single attached washroom and bathroom, rest everything was good. Dominoes is on the ground floor so go to restro for midnight cravings.
