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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNothing
The rooms weren’t huge but they were big enough including having chairs to sit on. Very efficient air con. The bathroom was a wet room and hot water was controlled by an immersion heater - you just needed to switch on for maybe 30 minutes to heat the water up. Once hot it stayed so until the next morning. Outside we had a terrace with furniture with a fab sea view overlooking the pool and grounds. Everything was really clean and very well maintained. The groundsman was always out watering the plants and sweeping up. Big swimming pool. The room and grounds were freshly painted with new curtains and nets. Bedding and towels were changed daily. No fridge but staff were happy to let us keep our wine in the restaurant fridge. All of the staff were really friendly and helpful. Great location only 10 minutes walk down to the sea front but some shops and cafes nearer than that. Someone commented on the road that you walk along to main street - but this is India you can’t expect pathways and roads like those we have in the UK. We’re all pensioners and we were fine with the pleasant walk past the trees, bushes and temple. We felt perfectly safe walking. Staff realised it was my husband's birthday on the day we checked in. They created him a birthday poster which they all signed and left it in a flower petal heart on our bed. Ah how lovely! They also offered him a free birthday massage.

IndiaIts not worth the price, they lack the amenities for the price. There were no taps in the bath tub and the building was little old. The tv weren't working.we have to ask for brush, dryer and all. The stay was good only if the price was low. It was a little High priced compared to the amenities
I like the food and the rooms were clean

United KingdomThere was nothing we did not like.
Our room and balcony with sea view was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The doctor was kind and the treatments were also good. The people at breakfast went over and above to try and make sure you were happy. Watching the eagles and hawks fly as we were so high up was awesome. A short walk to Kovalam/Lighthouse Beach which was great with shops, restaurants and sunbeds available on the beach and clean sea. A very good stay, would definitely go back.

United KingdomLovely "mid-budget" hotel. Great location, short walk from the beach. Alll the staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. I was even offered a complimentary massage and help with my travel plans. I had a sea view room, which had a great sea view, including Kovalam lighthouse and also overlooked the well-kept swimming pool. The hotel also offers a full range of Ayurvedic treatments, under the guidance of Dr Suresh. The only potential downside, beyond the control of the hotel, was a nearby Hindu festival going on for a few days (date of stay April). I found it atmospheric, but some people might prefer more peace. Worth checking if you are looking for solitude. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.
