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...).

The property was big with lush green trees and plantations of various kinds. But apart from everything, the warmth of Homestay owners to make us comfortable was something amazing and worth mentioning. The way they welcomed us at too early morning,and arranged everything was superb and breakfast home cooked was delicious delightfully tasty One must stay here to experience the warmth

AustriaI only stayed here for one night, as I was continuing my journey. I was arriving in the evening and was picked up from the airport. I cannot say much about the location as I didn't have time to explore the neighbourhood. But it was a very quiet location and surrounded by a lovely garden. It was a very warm welcome and the rooms are spacious and had everything I needed. They put together a very lovely little basket of all kinds of toiletries. The space is very clean and cosy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and I very much enjoyed my conversations with John. It was the perfect place for me to begin my Kerala adventure. Totally recommend to stay there.

AustriaJohn is just the nicest and most welcoming host ever! Even though I could only spend one night here I had such a good experience. The service you’ll receive here won’t feel like service - it will feel like coming home. John picked me up at the airport in the middle of the night and next morning he made me a delicious, full organic and vegan breakfast. I wish I could stay longer.

United KingdomNothing to mention.
Hosts were kind and helpful throughout and went beyond the usual to ensure I was well taken care of in terms of meals, travel arrangements, and medicine (because I was feeling rundown). White Butterfly is surrounded by a garden full of fruit trees and edible plants, indoors the rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean.

United KingdomNothing not to like about the place. Other then the village is a little remote unless you have wheels. The city is about 30 mins from the city by car and 25 mins from Valkara Beach by train, the train station is a short walk around the corner. Johnathan was helpful with lifts when needed.
Friendly welcome from John and his son Johnathan. They were super helpful in happing me with lift to the mobile phone shop in neighbouring tow. And I paid for the airport transfer by John which was a nice touch. The property is really nice with a good size room and en suite bathroom.

IndiaThey are yet to install an air conditioner. Would have been more convenient but for now it wasn't really hot especially with a lot of trees and plants around.
For everyone traveling to Trivandrum on leisure, this homestay is the best. I found hospitality, ambience and cleanliness upto the mark. Though it seems to be located a little away from the city, it wasn't challenging at all with services like Uber and Ola. The property also had a train station right behind yet no train horns blaring. I loved my stay at White Butterfly.

GermanyThe property is situated in a residential area a bit outside of Trivananthapuram but is still well connected to the city. The house is surrounded by a large garden where John, the owner, grows his own fruits and vegetables. I particularly enjoyed the fresh coconuts and the home-made chutney I got for breakfast. The room is beautifully decorated, with great attention to detail, and the whole house is very clean. I felt very comfortable throughout my whole stay. John is an excellent host who truly cares about the wellbeing of his clients. He is super forthcoming with any information you may need and helps where he can. That made me feel completely safe as a female solo traveler during my whole stay at White Butterfly.
