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...).

SpainMellisa and her colleague were so very helpful and welcoming. It was fantastic value for money and Mellisa gave us all sorts of recommendations for food, sightseeing and even booked us a taxi for our onward trip. Highly recommended this place, you’ll feel well looked after and it’s a great location for Fort Kochi.

United KingdomUnfortunately my room was at the front of the house overlooking the road so the road noise was quite consistent. The breakfasts were tasty but were no longer hot when arrived to the table. I never was able to get hot water out of the shower despite following instructions, but weather was so hot that a cool shower was acceptable. The location was a bit further away from the centre and local restaurants 15 mins walk away so rode a tuk tuk mostly
My host Mellissa was very responsive and helpful with suggestions for outings during my stay, arranging taxis and tuk tuks etc. I liked that the communal breakfast room allowed interaction with other guests. Early check in was available.

United KingdomMellisa was a great host and gave us great tips and local recommendations for Fort Cochin. The room was a great size and the A/C was much needed as it was hot whilst we were staying, even though it's 'winter'! Bed was comfortable. Great to have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cold.

United Arab EmiratesMosquitos! Fort Kochi is famous for that! Also, the room I booked was too small for my daily yoga practice. The next time I'm there, I'm definitely booking the larger rooms.
Reds Residency is one of the first homestays in Fort Kochi, started by a couple who love entertaining guests. The place has such a good vibe. Loved the breakfast, the cosy reading room and the garden. The owners were friendly, welcoming and really attentive to my needs. If you are looking for a home to stay in Fort Kochi, then this is it.
