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...).

IndiaSince the beach is completely isolated, the food choices are very limited. The menu has a lot of items but not everything will taste good. But I guess this is fine, an average food with a lovely ambiance was okay.
The rooms are spacious and even on hot afternoons cool breeze will keep the temperature down in the cottage. An AC cottage will be better, but since the cottage is made of wood is not completely packed, that is not an option. This is an isolated beach. The general crowd will come here to do kayaking during the afternoon but during early morning and late evening, there is no crowd on the beach, and is very peaceful. This beach is recommended to have a peaceful time with your partner. A swim and kayaking in the morning and an evening walk on an empty beach is an amazing experience.

FinlandBeware of insects. it is remote place so, you can get anything as i get big spider in the toilet.
This place is at the edge of one of the best, Cola beach. I like the food quality and taste. Nice and friendly staff. This place is so, remote thus people leave by 5-6 in the evening before sunset so, then it feels like private beach to your self. I also enjoyed Kayaking in back waters here.

IndiaLagoon area itself is overestimated and even in low season (end March) crouded due to day beach visitors. Actually booked Premium cottage is too expensive due low standard and location compare to basic or top ones. Indian way to deal and manage waste even at such top nature Locations remains poor 😞
Food quality is ok. Size of portion are huge, good to split for 2 persons. Prices are ok. Beach overall and view were fantastic! Staff friendly and helpful. Have been upgraded to upper, better cottage ☺️ w/o charging. Great view over beach 👍

FranceThe road to the hotel is rocky and bumpy but it was king of fun after all. I would recommend to take the cab they propose or the boat if you’re not at ease with off-road tracks. And they should propose Coffee/Tea facility in the room.
Amazing rooms facing the sea, hidden in the jungle. The quality of construction, confortable bed and bathroom. The staff was exceptional, the restaurant and food are simply amazing ! And Cola Beach is simple and beautiful and we had it for ourselves ! Don’t miss that place.

United KingdomLocation is EXTREMELY remote - this is great on one side, because it’s nice and chilled and an unusual type of stay, however due to the remote location we found it a little difficult, as there wasn’t much choice for food if we didn’t want to eat at the accommodation, and there didn’t seem to be many shops nearby to get snacks etc, which were also very limited. I also was a little unsure about how secure I felt in the room when we were inside at night, the doors didn’t shut completely and were only lockable via a bolt at the top so I was a little worried someone might be able to open from the outside and get in (which didn’t happen, but still took a little of the relaxing vibe away). There was also a family of stray dogs (10 puppies) living under out hut who barked all night, which was tricky for a good nights sleep!
This property is in a stunning location!! We were really happy to stay here for a night and thought it was gorgeous. Rooms were clean, hot water, Wi-Fi and electric all up to standard. Would stay again but only for one night as the vibe is very very chilled out and we didn’t feel there was much to do - but I suppose it depends what you’re looking for out of your holiday!

United KingdomAs with other places to stay in this particular area, it is worth mentioning the track down to the resort from the main road. Whilst the latter is a real test if visitors plan to make their way down on foot, on the positive side, it is well noting that the reception team are happy to arrange for taxis to take the strain free of charge.
The beach front location, marvellous food brought to your balcony free of charge (or eaten in the restaurant overlooking the sea - your choice), coupled with the friendly hard working staff, all added up to make this venue rather special. The food deserves special mention; the varied menu offered a huge range of choice, all of which was cooked and presented to perfection. For those families with children, the lagoon was a haven of activity for young and old alike, enjoying paddling kayaks in the calm shallow water.

AustraliaThe bungalows are basic. A good bed with fresh sheets, towels, a fan and a couch with no extras. There were many rocks in the ocean so we had to walk up the beach to find a spot to swim.
We ended our holiday here and loved gazing out to sea listening to the waves lapping. It was great to be able to order food and have it delivered to our room. Salads were fresh and we ordered char grilled snapper which was delicious! Loved watching the sunset.

United KingdomNot a reflection on the accommodation but it is probably helpful to know you can't swim at this beach. The hut was nice, a little dark and damp in the bathroom but nothing major. We would stay again.
The location is amazing. We had a perfect sunset view from our porch. Ordering drinks and food to the room was a nice touch, staff were friendly and attentive. Helpful and efficient in arranging onward travel.

AustraliaIt lived up to my expectations. It is remote so if you do want to do day trips or get food other than at the restaurant, the staff can help organise cabs. You will need a reasonable level of fitness to climb the steep stairs to the top of the cliff to leave for day transport, as the beach is located in a private cove at the base of a cliff!
Staff are amazing! Suresh made sure to check in so I always had everything I needed. Restaurant food is good. The location is really peaceful and nowhere near as hectic as other locations in Goa!

India1. Approach road quality - very very poor. Because of this, ALL of the cab drivers refused to come to the hotel. Also, the hotel charges Rs. 500 for dropping you to the nearest PARKING (not the main road). If you have such poor access to the property, you should provide a shuttle or at least give a heads up BEFORE booking! We could not travel much due to this. 2. Only 1 bottle of water is provided for 2 people everyday and for that too you need to remind the staff. 3. No buffet options 4. No kettle/fridge/condiments to make tea/coffee in the room I overall did not like the fact that each and every thing was money minded rather than customer oriented.
1. Just next to the beach and lagoon 2. Secluded 3. Food from the restaurant is actually very good 4. Kayaking 5. Cottage was okay
