Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndiaThe surrounding location can be cleared so that the entire area will be good for all the tourists also.
Those who want private time to spend with the family it a good choice. When u see the entrance may be somebody will not like, but the time which we spend was nice.

ItalyWe stayed in the frangipani villa which has an outdoor bathroom, best to stay in one with a closed bathroom if you’re scared of creepy crawlies. There are no amenities in the area (if you are expecting beach bars/ restaurants), but there are some resorts further along the beach within a short walk/ few minutes in a tuk tuk.
A friend had recommended this place and I’m so glad she did. We (mother and daughter) absolutely loved our time at Marari Villas. The area was an unspoilt tropical paradise, and we mostly had the beach to ourselves except for the occasional fisherman and boys playing football at sunset. The staff were wonderful and looked after us, and we particularly enjoyed chatting to Jibin after our meals. The team helped us organise a day at the backwaters which was lovely and stress free. The food was DELICIOUS. It was so nice having our private meals by the pool and to experience local home cooking. Would highly recommend their taxi driver for the journey to/from the villa.

ColombiaSmall thing but I think maybe a bit more info on the payment method. Everything was fine but I was a bit nervous doing a bank transfer as I was expecting to pay on arrival.
Everything. The villa is beautiful, the staff are so attentive. Special mention for Lal. The food was incredible, the pool was amazing and just what is needed in the heat. There are beaches a short walk away but we stayedin the villa most of the time because it was so nice.

United KingdomNothing we didn’t like at all and it was what we needed for our holiday of relaxation . Maybe the thing we’d suggest is some swinging chairs or a comfy chair in the covered area outside (outside bedroom door).
We were absolutely delighted with the whole of the property from its original wooden decor inside, the luxurious of the main bedroom & its beautiful bathroom. The main area was really excellent and the outside of the pool area with the hammocks, dining area was exceptional. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. All the team that looked after us were extremely welcoming, friendly, courteous, efficient and literally couldn’t do enough for us. All the service they gave us was second to none. The team all got on like one big family and that reflects in how well the place is run. We had a lovely relationship with all the team & had some really good laughs. All the food we had off the menu was delicious, with each dish being full of fresh, fragrant & excellent taste. The team did a fabulous job for my husband’s birthday with decorating the place with balloons & delivered an outstanding decoration of the candlelight meal making it so special. I was truly overwhelmed of how they pulled it off whilst we weren’t there. They helped us also with having a wonderful regular taxi driver for us which made it all the more easier for going places and he was friendly & polite. We would extremely recommend the Frangipan villa to everyone we know.

SwedenOverall, the experience was very positive but some things could be improved. We stayed five days but only once did we have hot water. In addition, the shower was a bit of a hassle. The fruit and juice for breakfast were a bit sparse. Finally, it was tricky to pay for the stay because we could not pay by credit card.
My friend and I had a fantastic and relaxing stay in Marari. Our villa was very nice with its own little garden, a pool and an outdoor shower. In the morning we went to the beach where a nice man had already set up our sunbeds and a parasol. The beach was completely empty, which felt luxurious. The staff was fantastic. Lal (the host) was very helpful and the chef cooked great food.

SloveniaThe location in the forest is lovelly, but there are no close amenities on the beach. We reserved this place because we thought it would be close to some beach restaurants, bars, but it was quite sevluded. Thanks to the personel we had a great time and they offered us everything we needed.
The food, chef and service personel was great, specially Lal. He made our trip and transportation to different sights locations around Kochi and Kerala so much easier.

United KingdomIt is not as private as they say- there are houses quite close to the property (I stayed in frangipani) and could hear people next door and if they were on the terrace they could easily see you. And there are different entrances and the staff would come in unannounced, for instance,there was a guy cleaning the pool when we woke up in the morning and no idea where he came from. The same guy came in unannounced and started cleaning the pool chairs when we were having breakfast which was a bit uncomfortable.finally, there is no direct entrance to the beach from the property,you have to walk through the village which we didn't feel very safe when it was dark.
It was clean and spacious. the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing
