Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IndiaMy stay at this hotel was an immense letdown from the start. The lack of accessible staff was evident, and upon entering my room, I was met with cobwebs and a foul odour emanating from the mouldy bathroom, which unfortunately had a non-functional drain. The constant power cuts and voltage fluctuations made getting a decent night's sleep impossible. The place seemed neglected, with cobwebs in the rooms and evidence of poor housekeeping, such as unswept areas. My first impression was set when I saw a train of ants constantly invading and leaving the room. And the dried-up plant, surrounded by garbage. I have attached all pictures just in case. I have enough pictures attached with the review to compare it against the pictures the property has posted. It appears that the management is either unaware or indifferent to the state of the place, as it seemed to be operating with the bare minimum. I can't fault the staff entirely, as they appeared to be doing what they were trained to do, but their presence was scarce, and their primary focus seemed to be keeping the property minimally functional. However, as they collect full payment of the stay on Day 1, it puts you on the back foot in wanting to change accommodation as well. Also, when the rooms say 'Sea-view', you can see some patches of the see. I imagine that is not what one has in mind when they say sea view. I strongly advise avoiding this place if you can. To those who might be swayed by the appealing pictures online, be warned that the reality is far from the portrayal. Additionally, the supposed Wi-Fi was practically non-functional, rendering any attempts to stay connected futile. Overall, this hotel stay was nothing short of a disappointment; everyone in my family felt the same. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

IndiaLots Not at all worth for this rate Rooms are small even the deluxe rooms Complimentary breakfast is just a complement, they opt we eat don’t expect more options and if your are from other part of Kerala just need to satisfy with cheese and butter, and the dinning area is horrible and they will serve only after 9.30. Sea view room - you can only see a distant sea views with neighbours on next will - will affect your privacy also If they charge 2000 is ok and for 5000 you will get far better option - over priced In photos you will get a wow look but in real very disappointing And you can see lots of local boys inside the compound along with the staff .
Especially Nothing _ just they have a pool

IndiaThere were no staff at the reception most of the times, neither was the resort manager available on calls. The heater was on solar so we could not get hot water at night or early morning. Also, one of the days there was no water in the bathroom. The hand shower was broken. Refrigerator and TV were not functional even though we had the equipment in our room. The room was infested with black ants and insects and hence was difficult to unpack and pack. The pool was almost always dirty and again infested by insects and ants. Pool water was also very hot, hotter than the room temperature or regular outside temperature.
Breakfast was served at our room upon request. Bathroom had toilet paper.

IndiaStayed for 4 nights. Rooms were exceptional, Comfort rooms did suffice our requirements as we mostly spent our days roaming around. Sit out was perfect for a fresh air. Hotel is surrounded by lot of plants and trees. Friendly staffs round the clock. Always on top of things to meet our requirements. Breakfasts were homely and it was delicious all 4 days, Loved it and complimented the Chef Chechi. We also took the Lunch, famous Kerala Meals from the Stay and it was over-whelming (just exaggerating, it was delicious and wish I could have eaten twice of it :D). Pool was an added advantage for my daily morning swim. Just 2min walk to the Beach and 15min further walk on the beach shore to the Famous Cliff places. Only hotel guests and literally no crowds around.
