How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI stayed at Bastian Homestay from 19th to 22nd August, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hosts were super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, making my stay feel just like home. What I appreciated most was how safe and secure the place felt throughout my stay. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend Bastian Homestay to anyone visiting the area and will definitely be coming back again soon!

Verified reviewWe traveled from Kathmandu to Kerala, and this was our first place to stay in Kochi. The property is run by a lovely couple who are incredibly sweet and polite. I feel bad for forgetting the name of the man, but I’ll never forget his kind gesture he gave us Nepali currency because someone had asked him to hand it over to a Nepali visitor. That moment truly reflected the humility and kindness of the people here. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the place made us feel completely at home. Thank you for everything❤️🙇♂️

Verified reviewThe property is located in a nice area, making it a good starting point to explore Kochi Fort. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast was very good.
Our bathroom didn’t look like in the photos of our room. Even though we did have hot water, it was through another lower tap and it had to be poured into a bucket first for showering. On the photos it looked like a normal shower with a possibility to adjust the water. At first I thought they gave us the wrong room, but when I asked, they said its not a mistake and that they just specified on the Booking page that the hot water is available, nothing else. I would prefer to know this before, as the photos can be misleading. There was no hairdryer.
Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify that the bathroom provided was exactly the same as shown in our site photos. It’s possible you might have seen pictures from another homestay by mistake.We have never mentioned that hairdryers are provided. We always request our guests to carefully check the listed facilities before booking to avoid misunderstandings. Thank you for appreciating our location, staff, and breakfast.

Verified reviewI stayed at Bastian Homestay for one week and had a truly great experience. Ginni and Bastian were wonderful hosts – very kind, helpful, and always available when I needed assistance. They helped me organize tours and taxis with reliable local contacts, which made planning my activities very easy and smooth. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, just what I needed to relax. I especially enjoyed the Kerala-style breakfast, which was different every day and always super tasty – definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The whole experience was absolutely worth the money – great value for the service and hospitality I received. Thank you again – I’d happily stay here again next time!

Verified reviewThe best thing about Bastain Homestay was our lovely hosts. They were able to organise every activity we wanted using their local connections so that everything went seamlessly! The room is clean and simple but great value for money. It is about a 10min into the city centre which is fine but there are other places you can stay that are right in the middle of fort kochi if that's more what you are looking for.
