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 KingdomJasmine and Stanley are caring couple that will make you feel like you're at home away from home. They go out of their way to make the experience of a homestey special for their guests- from morning cooking with Jasmine, to having dinner together... The room, whilst basic, is roomey and cosy (just remember to bring your own toiletries). We arranged for a lovely tour to Munar via Stanley and were so nicely surprised. Can't recommend this homestay enough ! Could not choose a nicer place anywhere in Kochin!:-)

BrazilIt’s not in Fort Kochi, so you’ll have to walk 25-30 min to get there, but it’s kind of half way between Fort Kochi and the Jew Town, so it’s pretty much ok. The bathroom didn’t have any soap, but Stanley said he’ll offer that for future guests.
Stanley and Jasmin were the best hosts I’ve ever had. I’ve arrived late at night and Stanley offered me dinner and fruits, plus he told me a lot of nice stories about Kochi, which where sooo nice! Jasmin made the best beakfast I could ask for, with lots of fruit options, dosa, samba, toasts, homemade jam etc, you’ll dream about this for days after you leave. The room has everything you need, spacious, clean and has good A/C. Thank you so much for making my stay in India so much better and taking such good care of me!

AustraliaWe stayed at Jasmin Villa during our recent trip to India. The hosts Stanley and Jasmine were excellent. They made our stay very comfortable, gave us advise on where we can buy things, Stanley arranged for our transport and guided us on how to travel to various destinations. Nice furnished clean room with aircondition. Jasmine cooked us some excellent traditional Kerala breakfast and was always willing to accommodate our requests. A highly recommended homestay and will definitely come back the next time in Kochi.

TaiwanStanley offered me a bottle of water and mentioned, "We have a big bottle in the kitchen; you can refill whenever you need." They care about the environment! The location isn't right inside Fort Kochi, but the second night after dinner, from fort Kochi I walked back to the homestay. It's within walkable distance, especially on cooler nights, and situated in a quiet neighborhood.

TaiwanJasmin and Stanley offered a very warm welcome, treating me like more than just a guest, but a good friend. Arriving late at about 9 pm, they kindly offered me dinner knowing I hadn't eaten yet. Jasmin's food is so delicious; during my two-night stay, I enjoyed two different yummy Kerala breakfasts. The room is very clean with nice decoration, providing a comfortable stay.

New ZealandOnly a few small things: The shower water was cold most of time but didn’t bother us too much as the weather is hot. If soap could be provided for the sink/shower for guests that would be good. It would be useful if the room we stayed in could have stickers or labels on the light switches as there was so many switches and was a bit confusing working out which switch worked for which light etc.
We had a wonderful stay at Jasmin Villa. The homestay is very nice, the rooms are comfortable, cosy and the air conditioning worked very well. Wifi also worked well. It is about 25 mins walk away from Fort Kochi centre or a short tuk tuk ride for a low cost. Jasmin and Stanley helped us to organise tickets to the traditional dance show, and drivers etc. they were very helpful! Jasmin’s cooking was delicious.

United KingdomNothing regarding the accommodation but didn't particularly like Fort Cochin.
Stanley and his wife were exceptional hosts. Stanley helped arrange airport transfers and a trip to Kerela. His wife was an excellent cook and made delicious and plentiful breakfasts and some evening meals. The room was great with a fabulous bathroom. Most importantly Stanley let me watch their tv when Liverpool were playing.

We had a wonderful stay at Jasmine Villa. The room was very private and we also left feeling as though we’d stayed in a warm family home, the perfect combination for a homestay. Super clean and If you need anything Stanley and Jasmine are happy to help. We did 2 of the tours through Stanley’s company, the backwaters and the 2 night stay in Mannur.

Wonderful hospitality. Jasmin cooks very tasty food and makes excellent masala chai. Stanley is an extremely likeable and helpful Mr Fix It. Both speak good English. Stanley was very helpful with our numerous requests for Tuk Tuks, taxis, backwater trip, etc. We really enjoyed the backwater trip: very relaxing and just what is needed on day 1 of your holiday (and still jet lagged).We really enjoyed our stay here and we were very happy to begin our Kerala journey here.
