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...).

IndiaAccessibility: Reaching the property can be a bit tricky. Google Maps tends to direct you through a narrow route that isn't suitable for larger vehicles like a six-seater car—which we were using. Even a smaller car, like an Alto, might struggle on that path. The correct access route is a longer, roundabout way that Google Maps doesn’t suggest. App-based cabs like Uber etc. often drop guests at the nearby Blue Water Beach Resort. This happened to us as well, but thankfully, Sajid arranged an auto-rickshaw to bring us to the property. While we eventually got there with Sajid’s help, it did involve some inconvenience. It’s best to speak directly with the property owner beforehand to get accurate directions and then share those with your driver or cab service.
This property is located right by the sea, in a peaceful area far from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you're looking to relax and soak in the serenity, this is an excellent choice. Location: Just steps away from the sea—you can actually enjoy the ocean view right from your bed! Property: The building is newly constructed, so everything from the furniture to the curtains feels fresh and modern. The rooms are tastefully decorated with thoughtful attention to color and design. Bedsheets, towels, and other linens were clean and spotless. Hopefully, the owner will continue to maintain this standard. Service: Sajid, the caretaker, is always ready to help with a smile. His friendly and helpful attitude really stood out to us. Disclaimer: There’s no inhouse restaurant, but a nearby eatery offers a mix of Keralite, North Indian, and Continental food. You can also order from Swiggy, and Sajid will gladly provide plates, glasses, and cutlery. So, food isn’t a problem at all.

GermanyBecause the resort is close to the beach the roads are very narrow to reach the resort. We were travelling with a big vehicle, Urbania and we could not drive upto the resort. So we had to arrange for two autos to drive us up to the resort and back to a certain point where our driver could pick us up. The resort owner arranged the autos for us. For some reason the water in the bathroom was brownish in colour. Not sure what the reason was.
The resort is very modern, clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay here. The resort is very close to the beach. He also arranged for a taxi for us on the last day to travel back to the airport.

IndiaI would like to take a moment to share my review of our stay at Vista Oceano Beach Resort. I had a wonderful time with my family—the place is very clean and well-maintained. I had requested an electric stove from the owner to prepare food for my 1-year-old son, and they were very accommodating. Here are some nearby attractions worth visiting: • Jatayu Earth Center (around 20 km away) • Mangrove Forest Kayaking (around 25 km away) • Paramotoring ( search flyvarkala on Instagram ) • Scuba Diving (contact the property owner for details) Vista Oceano is currently constructing a restaurant, which should be ready in a few months. In the meantime, there are a few restaurants along the beach, just 100 meters from the property. I would like to rate the property 10/10 based on the following criteria: 1. Cleanliness & Hygiene – The property was well-maintained and spotless. 2. Location & Accessibility – Close to the beach and nearby attractions. 3. Hospitality & Service – The owner and staff were helpful and accommodating. 4. Family-Friendliness – Suitable for families, including amenities for young children. 5. Amenities & Comfort – Well-equipped rooms and additional facilities like the requested electric stove. 6. Scenic Views & Ambiance – Beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere. 7. Adventure & Activities – Proximity to activities like kayaking, paramotoring, and scuba diving. 8. Value for Money – Fair pricing for the quality of stay and services offered. 9. Future Improvements – The upcoming restaurant adds value to the stay. 10. Overall Experience – A relaxing and enjoyable stay that exceeded expectations

IndiaSince this is a new property, there are several issues. The water coming from the taps was yellow, and the water from the washbasin doesn’t flow properly. There were ants all over the bed. Additionally, you will need someone to guide you to the property, as there is no proper road access
The location of the hotel is perfect, it's located just 2 mints walk to the the beach, isham was super supportive and helped us with everything we asked

IndiaThe accessibility to the location is less. It was a really small road on the edge of the cliff and someone has to guide us throughout. Sajad was clearing the path for us whenever we had to go out or come back. There was no restaurant so you can’t even get a tea when you need. When we wanted evening tea, there was no milk and he had to go out to get it. They really should keep everything in handy to serve the customers. They could’ve at least kept tea bags and milk powder. That’s a basic need I suppose.
The rooms were really clean. And the view was good. It’s a good place to hang out peacefully. Caretaker sajad was really polite and helpful. I might have called him a million times for every need and he answered every time politely .
