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):
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.
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.).

The aesthetic of the place is phenomenal. The quality of our stay was elevated by their exceptional hospitality and well thought out service. The executive chef made sure we had a delicious meal every time we dined there and the staff ensured our delightful stay. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone who wants to take a break and just enjoy with nature.

KuwaitThe glass bottles provided for water in the rooms were super old, if we check the caps, we could see the dirt marks.
The overall stay was good. Had wonderful time with family. The breakfast included South Indian, North Indian options plus English breakfast options. We opted for half board and the dinner was prepared and served really well. The spacious rooms were neat and well maintained. Restaurant is overlooking the backwaters. Staff ensured that all are needs are well taken care of.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Worlds Backwater Hotel in Kerala, and I must say – it was one of the most fantastic travel experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, the environment was serene, and the staff were incredibly professional and courteous. A special mention goes to Mr. Bejosh and Miss Aswathy, who truly went above and beyond to make my stay memorable and hassle-free. Mr. Bejosh personally assisted me in booking train tickets to and from another state in India, which was a huge help. Not only that, he even contacted a friend working at another hotel to ensure my next stay would be just as special – such a thoughtful and genuine gesture! Miss Aswathy was equally exceptional. She was always polite, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. She kindly accommodated my early check-in and late check-out requests, which made a huge difference to my travel plans. Her warm and welcoming attitude really stood out. The hotel itself is a gem – peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning backwaters. There are regular activities for guests, all very well-organized, and I thoroughly enjoyed participating in them. The kayaking experience was a highlight, and the swimming pool was clean and relaxing – perfect for unwinding. I can’t thank the team at The Worlds Backwater Hotel enough for their hospitality. This has easily become one of my favorite hotels, and I will definitely be returning on future trips to Kerala. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with top-notch service. Amazing trip – 10/10 experience. Highly recommended!

IndiaThe restaurant has fewer menu's for dinner and lunch . Those are very costly.... One glass of water melon juice is 200 and curd rice for one person quantity is 230rs . They should reduce food cost for lunch and dinner . They don't have much of Kerala authentic foods .. we thought of eating kerala meals authentic but meals not available.
We liked the ambience and location..just near backwater ...the lake view is exceptional. Service is very good and cozy rooms with good power backup. Complementary breakfast is excellent... Swimming pool is very good to enjoy ... evening tea and snacks are complementary and those are also good . We stayed in lake view cottage...room is good enough for 4 adults. Drinking water is good and they refilling when we ask. We taken boat ride shikara boat ride ..1 hour ride is 2950 . Sitting in chair with lake view and having tea with your loved one is super cool...

A Memorable Stay at The World Backwaters Resort, Thanneermukkom Our recent stay at The World Backwaters Resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality extended by the entire team made us feel welcomed and valued. Hospitality and Staff The warmth and professionalism of the staff were evident throughout our stay. Special commendations to Ashwathy, whose dynamic and friendly approach stood out. Her attentiveness and genuine care enhanced our experience significantly. The management, restaurant staff, and security personnel were all exemplary, ensuring our comfort and safety at every turn. Culinary Delights The food served was delectable, showcasing the rich flavours of the region. The chefs demonstrated remarkable care in preparing each dish, catering to our preferences with enthusiasm. While the existing menu was satisfying, introducing a wider variety of options could further elevate the dining experience.

United KingdomEverything was great.
We loved every second of our stay at The World Backwaters. We stayed in a Lake View Cottage which was idyllic and all of the staff were amazing and so helpful. We'd booked our stay as a chill out following touring other areas in India and loved it so much. The grounds and rooms are beautiful and very peaceful. A lot of the time it almost felt like we had the place to ourselves. While we were there we had spa treatments, attended cookery demos, took a boat ride on the lake, kayaked and walked around the local village. All were so enjoyable.
