Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Fabulous hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Brilliant rooftop pool with magnificent views of Fort Kochi. Easy to walk to see the local spice traders, and the Chinese fishing nets. Fantastic food - chef always available to discuss personal requests for tasty dishes. GM Hari on hand to suggest places to go. Highly recommend and will return to stay when we next visit Kochi.

United KingdomOn the day we were leaving, we had asked the hotel to arrange an airport transfer. This did not arrive until 20 mins after the agreed time, at which point we had already arranged an uber (which was also significantly cheaper). We were also woken up early each day by the call to prayer projected from nearby loudspeakers, although we appreciate this was not the responsibility of the hotel.
This is a beutifully designed heritage hotel with cute rooms and a tasteful lobby. The location is perfect for visiting the attractions in Fort Kochi and around Mattancherry palace. We visited during one of the hotter months and particularly enjoyed the rooftop pool with views over Fort Kochi and the neighbouring shipping harbour. The restaurant is excellent and offered us a complimentary cooking demonstration. We also enjoyed a traditional massage in the hotel's spa as this was available at a reduced rate during our stay.

United StatesThe hotel, room, and staff were excellent. The only drawbacks were it looks really run down around it, and there are 2 synagogues broadcasting call to prayer. This did not impact our view of the hotel, and Wes would 100% stay there again.

United StatesThe only drawback, and it was nothing that the hotel could do anything about, so we do not hold them responsible. We were situated close to two Mosques, so it was a bit disruptive in the early morning to hear the call for prayer. It would not stop us from going back though. The hotel was far worth it.
Almost everything. The pool area was fantastic. The staff was amazing. The rooftop restaurant was amazing. The room was outstanding.

United KingdomRoof restaurant and main hotel restaurant both just a buffet in the evening, not what we ever want. However there are many alternatives around. Staff could be better, had to chase breakfast dosa orders repeatedly.
Beautiful hotel. Lovely room. Epic shower. Roof pool is nice particularly at sunset. Good breakfast selection. Decent cocktails in the bar. Best hotel we stayed in on our trip to Kerala, and one of the cheaper ones too.

United Arab EmiratesThe breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about. Pastries were dry and really not enjoyable. I must say it was a bit disappointing. Restaurant food is a bit pricey.
Really beautiful hotel. Helpful staff. Pretty rooms. Nice pool. I quite liked the location, it is in a slightly more "rustic" part of Fort Kochi.

FranceBreakfast is acceptable but not of the best quality for a 5 star hotel. The shower gels and shampoos etc are a pain to use, they are so small and difficult to use. Some rooms have a common closed door in the middle so you can hear your neighbors alarm in the morning. The restaurant prices are too high for the location.
Hotel is well maintained and the rooftop pool and restaurant terrasse are great ! The staff is young but friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and confortable.
