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.).

IndiaSocial scenes. People don't hang out in their terrace area as such to mingle, maybe because it's in the open and lots of mosquitoes there. If you guys closed it and added more things to do, people will definitely come there to hang out and connect :)
Micasa hostels - my first solo trip hostel and boy am I glad i picked this place. Very safe and well connected, it's walkable distance from all cute cafes of pondi. Hosts Sam and Sandeep very friendly , they helped me with everything - bike rents, places to visit etc. Hostel is very well maintained, clean. Washrooms are constantly being cleaned by their staff. I would definitely recommend this hostel to others and especially solo traveling females.

IndiaHonestly , the facilities are amazing and this is just nitpicking. One full length mirror in girl's dorm rooms would be good. Few latches for the storage spaces were broken.
The location of the hostel is very accessible, 1.5km from the bus stand, walkable distance from Rock Beach. Has security at the front gate. If you arrive before check in time there is sufficient space at the front desk, accessible washrooms to freshesn up , drinking water available . Drop your luggage and enjoy the sunrise at Rock beach , have breakfast at the restaurant at the ground floor of the building and be back for check in. Rooms are well maintained, sheets & blankets clean. Storage space under bunk beds. AC & Fan equipped. Common bathrooms , separate for men & women- clean , geyser and shower available. Separate area for drying clothes and kitchen area with microwave & fridge available. Has 2 levels of open rooftop to enjoy some cool breeze in the evenings. The staff is extremely helpful and will accommodate your requests to the best of their ability. Shout out to Sandeep for being an amazing host!

United KingdomThe bathroom was really hot and humid at all times, there were fans but it was a shame no AC. The rooftop was a nice place to chill but the chairs were weird and uncomfortable.
Very friendly staff, comfortable beds with privacy curtains which is important to me. Well located on a busy street, walking distance to most places of interest. Great to have AC in rooms. Nice rooftop area to chill despite weird chairs. Overall a really nice hostel!

Next door restaurant is good. TP provided, but bring your own towel and soap. Water purifier at sink dispenses drinking water.

IndiaMy sheets weren't changed in 4 days, staff didn't seem to care much either. They have built Micasa really well but their maintenance game can be upped a notch. 2nd floor bathrooms are wet all the time, etc. And the provision for clothes drying works only if it's not raining because it's out in the open in the balcony.
Amazing location - it's at a stone's throw away from White Town, Baker Street is walkable, a gazillion bike rentals available close by and it's nestled nicely in a super busy market area. So 10/10 on location for anything you want to do in Pondy. Even to travel to Auroville, rent a bike and it's 1 straight road from Micasa. Made some amazing friends as a solo traveller. The common areas are great to hang out at (kitchen, terrace etc).

IndiaThe location and the staff of Micasa are both exceptional! The beds were extremely comfortable albeit bunk beds and it added to the fun of things. The common spaces are beautifully used and the amenities provided were brilliant! The bathrooms are clean and spotless and it was a fun and enjoyable stay! Will do it again.
