How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewA lovely stylish and clean hotel in a great area of Pondicherry. Central to everything with very helpful staff. I'd made a mistake and booked one day later than we intended to, and they made the update to the correct date very smoothly on arrival. Staff very helpful with everything else we've needed. A great restaurant with a very good variety on the menu. Pool is cool and inviting, air conditioning works well, fan in the room as well. Great facilities overall. We extended our stay as we were happy and comfortable at this hotel.

Verified reviewBathrooms were quite good with new fittings. Room had an authentic old style for furniture, doors, windows etc. Breakfast was not buffet but you could order from a menu. The food from ala carte menu was great. We also got a 20% discount on F&B.

Odd layout. Didn't feel comfortable walking through the restaurant to get to rooms and exit. Very dark shower area ( no light) and too dark paint in bathroom so can't see cleanliness, which bothers me in a hotel.

Verified reviewWe had a very clean and comfortable room and we slept like babies. The pool was refreshing. The location was also excellent. The reception and restaurant managers were quick to take feedback and improve services when I made certain issues known.
The staff didn’t feel very welcoming when I arrived after a long trip. This may be a cultural thing and a little training would do wonders. Black coffee took ages to arrive at breakfast and restaurant staff, supposedly trainees, were not very knowledgeable at breakfast. The restaurant manager addressed my concerns immediately and made the rest of my stay enjoyable.

Verified reviewThe location was superb and the rooms were huge! The staff were extremely polite and accommodative of all requests.
The only issue to knit pick on would be Wi-Fi. There is no good cellular network within the building and their Wi-Fi is not uniform, so we had to keep jumping networks which was annoying.
