Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IndiaIt is a no-frills property but some improvements are required: 1. Ceiling fans in the rooms/cottages 2. Deeper cleaning of the bathrooms ( they were decent tho)
Location! Just on the Odayam beach. The property has an independent restaurant (Blue Water Cafe) which was excellent! The staff is good.

IndiaCleanliness could be improved. The towels and bed linen were not clean. Especially, the towels had stains. There were lot of big ants in the room which even came on the bed.
The resort is right on the beach. Very convenient and beautiful views. Peaceful and serene. Basic toiletries were provided. AC was working well. Staff was friendly and polite. Great cold coffee. Food was decent.

United KingdomThere is no negatives to say really. But only thing to be aware of is the pathway at night time into the main hub is not lit and can be a problem if you have mobility difficulties. But you can get a tuk tuk for 150 rupees.
Peaceful location away from the centre and right on the beach.

IndiaThe room was quite old and was not maintained properly, location of the resort was as best as it could be, food was also good, but the only thing that disappointed me was the room, otherwise it was all good, the food, the views, the beach, just because of the condition of the room, it felt overpriced.

HungaryMinimally equipped rooms with worn furniture. Uncomfortable, worn chairs everywhere. Paper-thin walls, everything could be heard from the next room. There were no sunbeds or hammocks in the entire resort area. There was nothing for the comfort of the guests.
Very nice location, nice garden, amazing view. Friendly staff.

ItalyIt wasn’t as clean as I was expecting given the cost for the room. I guess you are paying for beachfront access. The towels and sheets had some stains on them.
It is located right on beach, so that was really nice! You can see the sunset from the balcony of your room or from the out side restaurant over looking the ocean. The staff were very nice and helpful.

IndiaThe fixtures of the room should have been maintained, the door lock was very fragile and broke off at night when another guest came into our room at 3 am in the night when they pushed the door.
Everything about the Location was magical. The staff were accommodating. Food was decent and so were the usual beverages. Perfect for a 2-night stay.
