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 reviewGenerally lovely family. Very comfortable large bed. Nice and spacious. Little table outside the door. Home cooked food. Near the temple 🛕 and across the road is the riverside for boat tours. Don't forget to say hello to hari, the pub he's super timid and needs love ❤️
There isn't a lot of privacy, and the road can be heard.
Thank you

Not the owners fault but there was a festival going on so loud music being played through speakers.

Verified reviewA lovely family with whom to stay in a relatively new concrete bungalow across the street from the river, where the backwater canoe trip picks you up. Good sized room and bath with excellent hot water. A nice porch on which to eat excellent home-cooked meals for breakfast and dinner (dinner costs extra).
Not a lot of English spoken (wasn't a problem for us but might be for some guests). As is typical of many Indian home stays: can someone please create light switches that correspond to some logic in the room 😉
Thank you

Verified reviewThis stay was such a homely experience. When we arrived there were no tuktuks so we messaged Suresh and he drove down on his bike so we were not on our own and arranged a tuktuk for us. Suresh and his wife catered for us specifically to a vegan diet which we found to be very difficult elsewhere on the island, so we never went hungry! Room was perfect and hot water in the shower was a bonus. Also arranged a great canoe tour for us on the backwaters less than a minute walk from the property!

Verified reviewFanstastic food, Very friendly service, we felt part of the family. Suresh went above and beyond to make sure we could enjoy our stay on the island. He took us by motorbike, organised a sunrise canoe ride, kayaks and bikes for us as well as a visit to a thread making factory and rickshaws to the train station. When my son left his wallet in the room he organised a courier to have it sent on to our next destination.
Some information on the booking.com website was incorrect (eg there is no kitchenette or pool) but we have informed Suresh and he will check and update his accommodation information.
Thank you

Verified reviewSuresh and his lovely family made us so welcome. Their homestay is very comfortable, clean and homely in a perfect position by the waterfront. The traditional Keralean natural food adequate and delicious. Unfortunately the unusual untimely weather conditions caused by the Bay of Bengal Cyclone meant we were unable to do the sunset canoe trip. However, instead Suresh took us to visit a local church in the woods with panoramic views across the lake. He thoughtfully phoned our daughter who had personally arranged everything with Suresh and showed her where we were. The following sunrise canoe cruise was amazing, the highlight of our stay. Lasting 3 hrs along idyllic narrow backwaters to a picturesque lake quietly watching the abundant wildlife amidst lush vegetation whilst enjoying the solitude. This homestay on Monroe Island is a MUST VISIT to this unspoilt area. Truly breathtaking.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. It is a true home stay in a beautiful locations, seconds away from a picture perfect river where you can admire the tranquility of the place. The host Suresh Babu is a very kind and welcoming man. He is very proud of his heritage and cannot do enough to make you feel at home. He will ensure your stay is comfortable and will cater for all your needs. His wife cooks the most amazing tasty meals, so make sure you eat at the home stay. It is fantastic value for money and would give this stay 100 if we could. I wish we could have stayed longer to take in more this tranquil location and enjoy heartfelt hospitality of the local folks. Suresh organised a memorable canoeing trip for us and helped with transport bookings. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you Suresh for being such a wonderful host.
Nothing. All was perfect.

Verified reviewSuresh and his family were so nice and accommodating. They cooked us breakfast and dinner every day we were there which were so good. We had veg curry the first night and chicken curry the second night. Suresh also organised us a canoeing trip around the backwaters which left from a dock about 10 metres from the Homestay.
