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...).

AustraliaVery friendly staff feel.you very welcome. Always prepared to help. The owners of the place extremely friendly and helping in what needed. The complex just right on the beach providing umbrellas and beach seat. The pool is of good size and very clean and a fresh welcome on a very hot day. Provide local or western style complimentary breakfast and local restaurant just a short walk from hotel. It was a so good and relaxing weekend that we plan another stay this coming weeeknd.

United KingdomAnna and Poly have created a comfortable, clean and well cared for bed and breakfast just a few metres from the Indian ocean. We went there for some r & r after a busy tour of North India and boy did we pick a great place. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the mongoose in the back garden was a real bonus! The nearby town of Paravur is great for a mooch (check out Madras Cafe - it's where locals eat). Only 200 ruppee by tuk tuk to get there from Cherai. The whole area is not spoiled by being overly commercial either. Swimming in 30 + degree ocean was amazing. Arranging tours in and around Kochi is all easy to.

United KingdomNot much to dislike, would have been a bonus to know which of the South Indian breakfast dish to expect in the next morning. I am sure the Western breakfast would have been excellent too.
The breakfast was local South Indian and different every day - fresh, tasty and plenty of food! Fresh juice and fruit too and all on the terrace with fabulous views.

The location was very good, and quiet compared to the other end of the beach. Access to the Beach and the pool was great. The service from the team was excellent and everything was provided as promised and requested. Compared to our other stays it was an excellent value-for-money experience

United KingdomI cant think of anything!
This was a lovely place. Brilliantly clean with attentive staff and nice food, as well as nice rooms with with sea view balcony. The infinity pool and roof terace were lovely too! The best bit was the location right on a lovely section of beacch. It's ten minutes walk from the centre of Cherai Beach - but that means the traffic on the road outside is really quiet, and the beach is pretty deserted. Certainly no hawkers or anything like that which you might get on busier sections. It is also a truely spendid beach. Don't be put off by the Google street view walkaround - it's a tropical paradise.

IndiaThe kitchen is a little away and we had to walk to the next property owned by them. I cannot say, I did not like - the rooms are just adequate for 2 adults. So book accordingly.
The owner Mr. Paula and his spouse. The entire staff - David and Suresh were more than accommodating and eager to look after us

EstoniaLong waiting time for food
The place is located next to the beach and it is very clean. We loved that owners are really keeping residency in a good condition, always updating paint work for walls and place looks fresh. Good swimming pool and small library. Rooms with a view to the sea and balconies. There is option to order the food, but waiting time is long. Loved rooftop terrace. We were always provided with new blankets while going to the beach or swimming pool. Personal is very helpful. Washrooms are clean and fresh. Will be happy to come here again.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at Cheray Beach Residency! Everything was exceptional, we had a beautiful wooden walled room with balcony in the most quiet part of the residency. The swimming pool was clean and so relaxing, surrounded by palm trees and plants who were filtering the sun just right. Just across is a beautiful strip of wild and long sandy beach where you can lounge on the hotel deck chairs... and last but not least Paul, Jess and their staff were amazing. Professional, discreet and attentive to our needs. This is a little paradise on earth worth every penny!
