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.).

United StatesA privilege to stay in a Chettiar mansion. It was a beautiful mansion, rich with Chettinad culture. Every single staff member, right from the receptionist, housekeeping team, restaurant team and the security guard were so helpful and humbled. A lot of activities are arranged at the property, hence we don't have to go out. The property manager, Ms Priya is well versed in the Chettinad culture and explained so well during the mansion tour. It is also amazing to see the peacocks roaming freely and occupying the old mansions.

Fabulous hotel wonderful staff, I don't know why it's only rated as 3 stars on your website it should be 5. Truly a memorable stay spacious comfortable room well equipped even had a bath with bubble bath provided. Staff are very attentive for example, they noted we hadn't gone to dinner on our second night, so they checked we didn't want anything before they closed the kitchen. The pool area was lovely even more do as we were thd only ones using it. Food and service are great. We loved the veranda outside our room overlooking the pool and happily sat there soaking up thd warmth. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

IndiaThere was no fridge in the room. Also very few sockets for charging were there and the available ones could not be used without an adaptor.
It's a beautifully maintained heritage property with exquisite interiors. The staff was extremely polite and courteous. Priya at the reception was extremely helpful. The tour of the villa that was conducted by the manager was very nice and brought the history and lifestyle of the bygone era alive. The cooking class was also a good gesture. All in all I enjoyed my stay.

IndiaThe property has been beautifully restored and bright bang up to date with modern facilities but still retaining the original charm of the Chettinad mansion. The non veg food was exceptional. The GM Senthil was extremely knowledgeable, amiable and friendly. He made it point to connect with the guests personally and helped plan the itinerary in Chettinad. Priya brought in southern hospitality effortlessly and helped with all local transport with a big, warm smile. All the staff were overall very courteous and polite. A great way to step into the luxurious past of the Chettiyars. Perfect for a when’s stay.

Truly one of the best accommodations I’ve ever stayed at! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. The food here is one of the best food I’ve ever had - from breakfast to dinner, Chidambara Vilas is the place you should stay to experience the Chettinad hospitality.

ThailandThe breakfast in the small courtyard area is a bit crowdy
The hotel is very special, into an old and totally renovated Chettinadu palace, the atmosphere is great, it was nice to stay two nights to enjoy the place. The food is fine and the staff is very helpful. I would suggest to make the Chettinadu tour from the hotel and the palce tour, both very interesting.
