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 reviewI recently had the pleasure of staying at Urbban castle homestay hosted by Anurag, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The homestay itself was spotless, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, offering a cozy and welcoming environment. The rooms were spacious and equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the surrounding area was peaceful, providing a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What truly set this experience apart, however, was Anurag’s exceptional hospitality. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, offering helpful recommendations for local attractions. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his guests and takes great pride in providing a memorable experience. If you're looking for a homestay that offers both comfort and genuine, warm hospitality, I highly recommend Urbban castle homestay. I’m looking forward to returning in the future!

Verified reviewLocation of the property was great. We had an early morning check out and they were kind enough to pack us our breakfast. It was a simple south Indian food.
Could have added plates and cutleries and plates for the to-go breakfast. Cooking utensils are extra add ons.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay at Urbban Castle Homestay. We arrived in the evening and the young man at the reception was very kind and helpful, provided all the information required and helped us to settle down. The room was super clean, equipped with all the needed facilities like AC, hot water kettle, tea and coffee sachets, clean towels and linen. Special mention to the spotless washroom. We were amazed by the owner's attention to detail in ensuring the comfort of their guests. We had a great breakfast, home cooked idli and poori. Had a great interaction with the host. Overall, a comfortable stay. We wish we could stay here longer. We will definitely stay here whenever we come back to Port Blair. Highly recommend this to all.
Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Verified reviewI really love Urbban Castle homestay. Everything is perfect, from the facilities and cleanliness to the friendly, helpful staff. So clean ... and absolutely NO bugs - I stayed for two weeks and did not see even a fly, or ant, or mosquito in the room at all. The bed was comfortable, the A/C and wifi both worked well. Shower has plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. There is free filtered water available which is so convenient and no need to buy bottled water. The atmosphere at Urbban Castle is relaxed, cheerful and uplifting. The staff are easily accessible and happy to help with any requests, including arranging laundry service, tours, ferry rides, taxis, etc for reasonable prices. The owner also went above and beyond to help me get a local Sim card. The owner speaks English clearly so he's easy to understand and I did not experience any problems with miscommunication. The location is quite central and convenient. There is a nursery school downstairs so in the mornings and early afternoon, the children can be noisy, but for me, this only added to the experience of staying in a local neighborhood in Port Blair. There's a peaceful backyard with different types of birds - I saw racket tailed Drongos, which was quite a thrill. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. The property takes security measures, but also the neighborhood is safe - I did not encounter any unfortunate or worrisome people or issues during my two week stay. I highly recommend Urbban Castle and have no complaints. I hope to stay here again when I am finished exploring the nearby islands and return to Port Blair for my departure flight.
Everything was good.

Verified reviewA very nice homestay and close to the center. Spacious room, equipped with air conditioning, fan, television and even a kettle to make your own tea. Room is very clean. For breakfast you can indicate your preference and it is served in your room. The owner is very nice and speaks good English. He can also arrange all kinds of other things for you (without high commission) such as the ferry to the other islands or a scooter. Excellent price quality ratio. Recommended!
Don't expect a special view from your room. The wifi signal was a bit weak.

Verified reviewEverything. Staying at Urbban Castle was a wonderful experience. The Home stay is in a great location, lots of places to eat nearby and a bar just over the road, also close to airport and jetty for ferries, tuk tuks available outside the gate. We had a spacious room, large comfortable bed, en suite shower room, and a seating and dining area, there is also a kitchen area, all spotlessly clean. We had breakfast served to our room each morning. The owner and staff were great, it was obvious they wanted to ensure that the guests had a good experience. We stayed for three nights before leaving to visit Havelock island and Neil Island, and returned for one more night after visiting the islands. We asked the owner to book our ferries, which we felt , for us , was a good choice, a hassle free, straightforward process. Thank you all at Urbban Castle for making our stay a memorable experience.

Verified reviewA lovely homestay in the centre of the city, you almost get an apartment at a reasonable rate. It's quite close from many attractions and restaurants. The host is very helpful and helps you plan your trip. We also got some yummy complimentary breakfast. The caretaker is a really polite man and takes care of all your needs promptly. Would definitely recommend!
We had some wifi issues initially, but that was sorted out.
