Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

I had a wonderful stay at The Hosteller Fort Kochi! The property is beautifully maintained, clean, and has a very warm vibe that makes you feel at home right away. The staff are extremely polite, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The location is excellent—close to all the main attractions like Jew Street, Mattancherry Palace, and the Synagogue—making it super convenient to explore the area on foot. The rooms and dorms are spacious, hygienic, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. What I loved most was the community atmosphere; it’s a great place to meet fellow travelers, relax, and enjoy the cultural charm of Fort Kochi. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, and I would highly recommend it for both short and long stays.

The community feel of the hostel was awesome! As was the location which is right in the middle of town. The faciloties like the games and rooftop area were great. The kitchen wasnt perfect but good for a hostel. Beds were great with nice privacy curtains and a little lock box as well as a big locker that could fit almost all bags. Bathrooms were nice and clean and nice that there were two per room with all facilities inside.

United KingdomNot very social, the communal areas were too hot. The hostel could do more to promote a social atmosphere. Downstairs reception in the evenings didn’t smell great and was also humid. Whilst there were some helpful staff, a lot were not. It was hard to get information out from some of the staff at times. We asked them to do our laundry and expected it back same day. It later turned out they hadn’t even sent it and weren’t very apologetic.
Good location, private rooms were clean and comfortable. AC was appreciated.

United KingdomI hate that Hosteller always demands pay in advance and every time cancels my trip with booking. I will only pay with cash! There was a kitchen but it was quite dirty when we arrived, they did clean it but it still was in need of a really deep clean. Also it really needs more utensils and stuff. A few minor tweaks and I'd give it 10/10
Location was great, I loved the social spaces in the hostel, playing ping pong and carrom and making new friends was great. Air conditioning in the rooms is a must and they have it. Privacy curtains are brilliant in Hosteller hostels and I really love that. You can book really great trips through the hostel, I'd recommend the backwaters trip for sure. The staff really made my stay though, all are really friendly and nice, Abi in particular was super helpful and really just a lovely bloke!

TajikistanThe check-in procedure is just ridiculous and time-consuming. The last thing a traveller wants to do after arriving from another long trip dead tired is to get tangled into online application form filling, which does not usually go well. At first, one random kid at the reception said they didn't accept cash which baffled a German visitor, but then the actual receptionist (I believe) did accept cash from me. Go figure. No towel was provided, though it was mentioned on a board at the receptionist desk. False advertisement, I guess. I carry my own towel anyway.
The location is very convenient; it is in the heart of Fort Kochi. Plenty of foreign tourists, too. The hostel is well maintained, and the bathrooms were clean.

Sri LankaThe worst thing was the staff, who just hang around the entrance and don't say much. Doesn't feel hospitable. The bed was also very small (I'd guess 1.7 m). The building itself has no air and is very moist. Finally, there was no social vibe.
The place is clean and the dorm had an AC that worked well.
