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 reviewThis hotel was so relaxing, there were not many guests as it was monsoon season. we had the best time relaxing by the pool, the food was incredible some of the best we’ve had on our two week trip! Jasmine was an amazing host, helping us organise transport to our next hotel and a boat tour in alleppey. She also organised when we wanted breakfast and dinner and it was always on time and delicious. The rest of the staff were also very helpful and friendly we felt very looked after.

Verified reviewWe will remember our 2 days at Marari Beach Bungalow for a long time! The welcome was fantastic, we were pampered by an extremely caring and professional team! The food prepared to order, the breakfast, the pool service, we feel welcomed like prestigious guests! The house is tastefully decorated, very clean, every little detail counts and gives a feeling of accomplished work sometimes rare to find in India. The tropical garden is very well maintained, it forms a lush setting around a very beautiful swimming pool! Bravo to the whole team!

Verified reviewRelaxing place for a perfect holiday. With wonderful ambience and a peaceful sleep. I have travelled extensively through India and I can say this as the best place I stayed. The beach is about 6 minutes walk from the resort but their beautiful pool made me stay and enjoy it the whole day. I experienced the rich and authentic Kerala delicacy which they offered . Super must stay resort near Marari Beach

Verified reviewBeautiful grounds, huge rooms, strong AC, big balconies, comfortable beds, tea/coffee/fridge in the room. Quiet. Fresh fruit in the room every day. Super friendly and very accommodating staff. Nice warm swimming pool. Good full breakfast, eggs any style on demand. Drinking water is available around the property. Overall, highly recommend
At least 8 minute walk to the beach and pretty far from Cochi. You have to have something to sit on when you go to the beach. And get towels before you go. That’s the only issue we noticed.

Verified reviewExcellent breakfast, good choice of both Indian and continental dishes. We tried both over our stay. Both tasted amazing. In fact we ate all our meals at the property.
Spa is missing at the facility. They are building it though and should have it ready in a few months.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay here! + Staff were fantastic, really easy to contact them via WhatsApp, very responsive, friendly and attentive + The room we stayed in was extremely clean and a great size + Food was reasonably priced, tasty and big portions + The resort itself has a very unique look and was well kept + Provided a complimentary breakfast before our early morning transfer to the airport (THANK YOU SO MUCH)
Nothing we didn't like but perhaps what would have made our stay even better! + On the first night our A/C stopped working but was moved to another room within minutes + The resort itself is a 20+ minute taxi to the centre and not too much around it in terms of restaurants + The pool could use cleaning a couple of times more, very clean in the morning once first cleaned but

Verified reviewReally everything - the staff was so kind and welcoming, my room was very nice and clean, I enjoyed the pool area, dinner & breakfast were tasty, and they organized a really nice backwaters cruise (in a small boat that could go up some of the smaller canals). I definitely recommend this property.
I can’t think of anything.

Verified reviewThe room was extremely spacious, very clean and comfortable. The garden was peaceful and beautifully planted and the pool was enormous with beds under the trees. The breakfast was excellent. The staff were very helpful. Although it was one of the more expensive places we stayed in India so far, we felt it was worth the money.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe property is beautiful - lovely furnishings, spacious garden and great pool. Our room was lovely too. The food was really excellent! Delicious breakfasts and the three dinners we had there were outstanding. The staff are all charming - friendly, helpful and a credit to the hotel. Couldn’t be better!
Nothing. It’s very quiet and peaceful and not that close to lots of restaurants or shops, so don’t expect that. But it was easy to get a tuk-tuk to nearby places like Alleppey and it’s only a short walk to the beautiful Marari beach (but too hot for us to spend much time there).

Verified reviewThis hotel is set in a really beautiful old building that is full of character. Loved the decor, furnishings and the beautiful antiques dotted throughout. The staff were fantastic, really warm and welcoming and always really helpful and responsive during our stay. Location was good, set just off the main road and only a short walk to the beach. The pool area was lovely. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The food quality at both breakfast and dinner was very good.
Issues with the hot water - most of the time our shower was lukewarm at best (apparently it is solar heated). We were woken very early each morning by a local temple blasting out prayers through a loudspeaker. The hotel staff told us this was due to a festival and not how it normally is, so hopefully that’s true and we were just unlucky with our timing. No licensed bar or proper on site restaurant (apparently both are coming next year). You had to pre-order dinner ahead of time, and breakfast was a fixed menu (although very good). Limited food options in the surrounding location.
