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...).

IndiaNothing much to dislike
Wavelokam is a cozy budget stay for couples with very well designed and neatly maintained rooms. Location is just 200m walk away from Yedava beach and feels secluded yet safe. Owner is chill, very friendly and a humble person who's eveready to greet and help you. A special mention to our host Saafir, who was so so helpful through out stay, not just at wavelokam but our entire trip in Varakala, a special shoutout to him.

United KingdomIts location to the restaurants and cafes is a little far. However they were helpful in arranging transport and hiring a scooter - although make sure to confirm the price and fuel expectation prior as it is an external company you’re hiring from.
It was clean and comfortable and the breakfast served at 9am. The staff are lovely and they have two lovely dogs - Stu and Nero. The bed is comfortable and the AC and fan work well.

This beautiful property offers a peaceful retreat, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds. Located just 200 meters from the serene Edava Beach, it's the perfect spot for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty. The surroundings are calm and quiet, ideal for relaxation and unwinding. What made our stay even more special was the warm hospitality. The caretaker and property owners were genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help, making us feel right at home. A truly memorable experience in a hidden gem by the sea

United KingdomWe gave them the estimated time of arrival and was given a warm welcome by the staff looking after the property, and a cool room so it wasn’t muggy or too stuffy! They asked if we’d eaten and provided us with a delivery website so that we could fill our tummies before snoozing for the evening! The bed and bathroom were clean, with comfy bedding and running hot water for a shower after travelling a good distance from Kottayam. The staff were helpful in providing kitchen utensils and allowing us to borrow an adapter, since we’d forgotten to buy ourselves a universal plug! As well as helping with public transport queries for our long trip. The guard was friendly, offering his umbrella when we arrived one of the evenings in the pouring rain. The beach was not too far from the homestay, with surrounding resorts that provided good food and decent Ayurvedic treatments. It was the perfect start to our adventure around Kerala! ✨

AustriaThe rooms are very pretty - best room and bathroom we had in India. The hosts and staff are really nice. They help you with everything you need. There is a good breakfast with fruit salad, juice, curry & omlette available. The location is also quite nice. From the homestay it just takes a two minute walk to Edava Beach (not crowded and clean). It is possible to rent Scooters if you want to go to Varkala - round about 10min ride (we rented one for the whole week and needed it everyday to go out for dinner and coffee or to go to Varkala).

IndiaIt's a small and new property. Rooms were of comfortable size, with neat and clean bed and bathroom. There was no view from the hotel, but a clean, crowdless beach is just a couple of minutes of walk away. I also booked a surfing lesson. Kartik (surfing trainer) was very patient in teaching and it was an amazing experience. The breakfast served was healthy, clean and tasty. Facility manager was really helpful and prompt is responses. It was an amazing experience staying here.
