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.).

India-Ran out of drinking water. Wasn't told that we can refill from the common water dispenser. Maybe a notice can be put up letting guests know the same. -Breakfast was served quite late despite the timing being 8.30 am onwards. -The dining area and table should be cleaned often. The area around the trash bin should be cleaned often. -A small microwave oven should be kept for those who want to heat up their food.
Birdhouse is a great place for budget travellers. Would definitely recommend it. The view. The ambience. Lisa the dog. The books. The sit-out area. Meeting and chatting with fellow travelers. Connectivity to places of interest. Can order food via Swiggy. Helpful sightseeing suggestions from Prajwal and Lily. We hired Kabir's auto for a full day trip in and around Coonoor. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed every moment. Coonoor is not the typical commercialized, very crowded touristy place. That is a blessing.

IndiaAbsence of a fan. Just a window isn't doing anyone any favours in a hill station. It's made night time claustrophobic, aided with minimal cross ventilation. Also, since this is a hostel, don't expect fresh towels/bedsheets everyday. Room was small for the price but overall okay okay. We stayed 4 days and maybe that's why it seemed worse. 1 or 2 days can be tolerated better.
Location was great, with an awesome backdrop of the township. Birds chirping around lend truth to the name of the place. Inhouse food was plain and super tasty.

IndiaThe bunk beds were shaky, it was a bit inconvenient to climb up since it would shake a bunch. Since it was shaky, it would end up making a squeaky sounds anytime you moved in your sleep but luckily, most people in the room were tired enough that they didn't notice.
The breakfast was amazing, very well prepared and was a good comfort meal. The decor and overall vibe of the hostel was so nice, it is an artistic dream and a great escape for someone who is looking for some peace and time to be creative.

United StatesThe shower pressure wasn’t great. Kind of a long walk to the property from the train/bus stops , but the hostel is located in a nice area outside of the main part of town and nearby pretty tea plantations.
The outdoor sitting area had a great view, they served some of the best coffee we had in all of India, room was clean, they let us store our stuff on the property after checkout while we waited for the bus, owner was friendly.
