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 KingdomWi-Fi kept dropping out and the code needed to be input at least twice before it could be used. No shade around the pool - however umbrellas are not an option due to the high winds.
Fabulous views. Lovely large room (302) with exceptionally large balcony, with sitting area overlooking Tamil Nadu. Chef Ram on hand to discuss personal preferences for food, and prepared us some tasty food. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that there are some steep climbs to the rooms from reception - not good for anyone with mobility issues.

NorwayWe wanted to do the periyar boat trip and asked for help planning activities before arriving, but were told to talk to reception when we arrived, by which time this was fully booked. This is partly on us, we should have come more prepared and taken responsibility for booking activities ourselves, but we expected more proactive service from a 5-star hotel. Staff also made us do a google review on the spot when leaving, which felt a bit forced. Also note that staying here seemed to make all the taxi companies set up their prices, but that might be our bad luck.
The staff were so nice and helpful. The food was also fantastic, we had a clay pot dish with beef that was out of this world. Pool was beautiful but cold, so kept it to one dip. View was beautiful, although we often felt like we were inside a cloud. The hotel itself is very charming.

United StatesThe only comment I would leave for the hotel to improve are the food options. I believe the hotel is trying (with the decor, style of living along with the cost per night) to attract western crowd and higher end clientele from India which is totally fine, but the restaurant food menu can be improved. It is neither completely Indian or Western or a good fusion yet. The menu is somewhat limited (dinner) and need to be re-visited. The food quality is also very sub-par compared to what you can get out in Thekkady city considering you are in the middle of Kerala and you can expect authentic Kerala cuisine. The western cooking seems to be in more of a learning curve that is going on in the kitchen. Overall, it has quite a bit of room to improve!
Danya with Guest Relations was extremely helpful. I missed the opportunity to reserve tickets in advance for me and my mother for the Periyar Tiger Reserve boat ride and she purchased it on our behalf thru her contacts and paid herself which I reimbursed after arriving at the hotel. Hotel is located at the topmost point of Thekkady and you can see the Tamil Nadu and Kerala landscapes from the 360 roof top. Excellent cottages and views with a remarkable infinity pool...one of the prettiest infinity pools I have seen with the view. Staff were very polite at the restaurant and elsewhere.

SpainWe loved our stay in this hotel. Although it is a bit difficult to get there, then you really appreciate the view and peace. The staff was amazing, always ready to help. The room was huge and very clean, beautifully decorated, very homely ambience. Great food in the restaurant, good choice of Indian and European cuisine. If we go back to Thekkady, we will definitely choose this hotel to stay.

MalaysiaThe decor of the hotel is a little eclectic - a cross between twee English country garden, Indian rustic and modern, but that aside, this is a great place to stay in.
The setting of the hotel, high in the hills above Thekkady is beautiful, with amazing views over Kerala on one side and Tamil Nadu the other. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully curated with lush greenery and flowers. The staff are friendly and helpful and special thanks go to the chef who at my husband's request, demonstrated how to make fish mollee. The service all in all was great, as was the range and quality of food.
