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...).

GermanyPhotos don't match reality. Photos on booking give the impression, that its all renovated, modern, bright and elegant interiour, but its actually pretty run down and dark. Double room has only two tiny windows to a back terasse, from which you don't have any good view or day light.
Great location, cheap and very nice people. Saday and Anoop are the best. They made my stay memorable and I would only come back for them.

IndiaI had booked the place well in advance, made full payment for my "Deluxe Double AC Room With Ensuite Bathroom", I was constantly in touch with the hostel guys via booking.com chat box as I was going to reach late at night. When I reached the hostel, the guy told me I have booked the "Deluxe Twin Bed AC Room With Shared Bathroom" (This was a pvt room with a bunk bed). This was clearly not the case as my booking clearly mentioned it was a double Ac room with ensuite bathroom. The hostel guys said that they have another booking in that room and cannot give us the room that I have paid for, and there was no other pvt room available. So he asked us to take the refund and go look for another place. He said its a mistake from Bookings.com side and that he cannot help us in this case. At this point I was pretty upset at him, as I had planned this trip well in advance and made all bookings and payments on time. I had to argue with him as I was really angry at his attitude and his body language. After this kind of heated conversation, he called someone from the management to inform the situation and then he was asked to give us the room and inform the other group about this as they to arrive later than us.
The location is perfect for me as I was visiting for the Biennale. All the venues of the Biennale are at a walking distance from the Hostel. I had booked a private room, it was pretty clean, but there is no ventilation to the room. There are two tiny windows which you cannot open as they open up into a gallery which was unclean. Over all it was a decent experience.

India1) Room description with pics while booking and actual room provided were different 2) Staff was reluctant to provide another set of towels even when it was a 2 day booking. 3) The room in which we stayed had a private bathroom separate from the room and it was being used as common bathroom and wasn’t being wiped properly.
It’s close to the major tourist areas in Fort Kochi and in vicinity with Biennale. The crowd here was good.
