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...).

This place is special. Beautiful, tranquil and relaxed. The setting is perfect. Beautiful views from the verandas. Everywhere and always the sight and sounds of birds and animals. From our veranda we saw spotted deer, mongoose, eagles, turtle, sunbirds, peacocks and so much more. The food was amazing. Inventive mixes of flavours, perfectly cooked and generously served. The hosts are very friendly, welcoming and interesting. The staff are great. A great team. One of them took us out for early morning and late afternoon birdwatching walks that were great. And it’s right next to the Bandipur reserve so very handy for safaris. We planned to stay two nights but just had to stay one more. You could easily spend a week here and still be reluctant to leave. I totally recommend this place. Go. You’ll love it.

United KingdomMuch as we loved the fridge & cold water in the bedroom, would have appreciated a kettle & teabags.
A great place to stay for a safari tour. And hugely enjoyed our nature tour with Girish the first afternoon, who is very knowledgable. Sensational meals - plenty of choice - and most of the vegetables home-grown. A very friendly atmosphere; Karthikai & Ingred have created a very special & luxurious home-stay.

IndiaGiven the price of the accommodation and the meal,the food spread could have been more diverse.
Dhole’s den is a wonderful property located in the wilderness that provides a sense of serene and calmness.The entire stay felt like being close to home stay even being away from home.The one thing that really amazed me is the food prepared from freshly cultivated vegetables that is delivered directly from the hands of farmers

United KingdomThere wasn't anything we didn't like. We found a nice walk through the local village a little late in our stay, so if you like to get a walk in do have a walk along the roads (away from the forest!)
We loved the location out near the forest. It was beautifully quiet. We really enjoyed bird watching, going for a few walks and seeing lots of wildlife. We went on 2 safaris away from the compound. The staff were really very generous, knowledgeable and kind. The food was excellent and very generous!

IndiaThe service of the staff is one of the worst I have experienced in any hotel till now. The homestay is not at all suitable for families with children. There is no menu for children or the staff ready to cook anything. You have to ask multiple times to get anything done. There is no room service and you will have to ask multiple times even to get the morning tea. The foods are okay but tasteless. The manager and some of the staff are courteous but most of them are careless and rude. This homestay could be suitable for couples or singles but strictly not for families with children.
The location of the homestay is really breathtaking. You can see the western Ghats range from all the rooms. The rooms are huge and spacious.

IndiaWith the limited facilities, too Expensive for Homestay. (20K per day inclusive food for three members). Not Happy with the pricing. Food - Pathetic, lot of improvement required w.r. Food both quality and quantity. Should follow the timings displayed and even Milk also not available around 9AM 🤬 Discipline is missed, no proper information regarding activities. Overcharged for the safari even though its a last minute plan and weekend(10 times more on the original cost)
Liked the owner and his family, no need to mention about the Dogs 🙂
