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...).

GermanyI really loved my stay here, cute private room with little balcony, everything was super clean, soap and towel provided. The family is so friendly and welcoming, helped me with everything I needed and were always available for any questions. They helped me with my laundry, arranged a backwater tour, which was amazing, printed my visa…Tuk Tuk in front of the door take you to centre part of Fort Cochin for 50 rupees, if you don’t want to walk. Highly recommended:)

LithuaniaEverything was perfect and we are extremely glad we chose to stay at this place during our visit to Kochi.
This place is definitely value for money: friendly family, clean and perfectly equipped room with AC, cute balcony, comfortable mattress, spacious wardrobe. The place is a bit further (15 min walking) from the touristic part of Fort Kochi but there are small vendor shops around and you can feel a good local vibe there. Alfred and his family are very friendly and always happy to help. The neighborhood is calm so a good sleep is guaranteed. They have a tall mango tree growing in their yard and two mangoes hanging on the branch in front of our balcony was something unique. So if you come during the mango season, you might get a chance to taste them :)

United KingdomLovely room! Very comfortable and super clean, and the balcony was a lovely bonus for first thing in the morning before ot gets too hot. Also very much appreciated the fan and the a/c. It's a nice quiet location and only a short walk from the town and beach. Plenty of little shops nearby to pick up water and snacks.

IndiaMosquitoes can be a problem. Not the propertie’s fault though. Make sure you keep doors locked and have Odomos with you.
Location - just a 5 min auto ride away from the bustling Princess street. Hosts are super helpful, the room was cozy and comfortable.

United KingdomI loved everything about this wonderful Homestay, especially Alfred and Michu, the most amazing hosts ever. I had trouble getting into Fort Cochin and got lost and they literally came to find me! Alfred also drove me around the place on my first morning, showing me all the places I wanted to go. So friendly and helpful with advice. My room was very comfortable and the location was great— a peaceful area, close enough to walk wherever I wanted to go. Excellent value for money.

CanadaI had such a wonderful stay at Je Sant O Casa Homestay! My room was so lovely and cozy. The owner is absolutely amazing! He was so kind and helpful from the very moment I booked my stay. He was great to communicate with and extremely helpful and accommodating. He and his family were so welcoming and really made me feel at home. I'm so impressed with this homestay and would highly recommend it to everyone.

LithuaniaNothin to find, what I dislike.
The host of this room, Alfred, is a nice and communicative person. the room is very tidy, cozy and nicely furnished, neat and good quality furniture, bed linen and towels are really white, not white as they call light gray in other places. The bathroom and toilet are really nice and tidy, and this bathroom smelled really nice :-). I was not a demanding traveler, but I felt that if I had any needs, the owner Alfred would help me with them. Although the yard is small, he was happy to pull his motorcycle, letting my motorcycle rest safely in the yard of his beautiful house. In my opinion, this is a great example of how you can have great quality at a decent price. After paying 1000 per night for this room I was very pleased to get a good deal :-). because elsewhere they have had to pay twice as much and get a room several times worse. The excellent attitude of the owner towards the client and his property makes you admire and enjoy his business.

Located in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, you will easily reach by walking the main spots of Fort Kochi. Super highly recommended!!
