Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomRubbish is disposed of by burying it on the beach! The beach at the hotel isn’t really usable as a holiday beach. The local fishermen come every morning and haul in the nets by hand, and local men come for a bath. We didn’t mind this at all, watching the fishermen was interesting and they attracted big numbers of birds, which was great, but if you want to sunbathe, Kovalam beach is a 10 minute Tuktuk ride away.
Very good small hotel in a lovely location, with helpful, friendly staff. Our room overlooked the water and was very clean and comfortable, with a balcony. The pool was clean and pool towels provided. The restaurant is on an island 50 metres away and reached by a small boat, punted by staff. Food was good, with a range of choices. There’s room service available for breakfast and dinner and there was a table and chairs in the room. Decent Wi-Fi. Ask for a room in the hotel ( there are some rooms on the restaurant island) so you won’t need to keep being punted across for the pool etc…) We used the laundry service, it was good value and clothes returned in 24 hours.

United KingdomNothing, it’s lovely
Lovely relaxing location, and the boat trip to our accommodation and the restaurant was novel Super friendly staff, nice room and good restaurant It’s a short way from the main beaches but easy to get transport to there, or take an hour walk along the seafront which is quite interesting. It’s nice and quiet as a result Pool is lovely too, perfect temperature

IndiaThe beach is apparently not safe for swimming, and no super easy to get to from the main part of the hotel is the boatmen are not available...though mostly they are available at very short notice.
Lovely view from our room. Good seafood. Friendly, helpful service. Great massage. Interesting to watch the fishermen pull in their catch in the shore nets. The peaceful boat crossing for meals ...across the backwater... we only ever had to wait a few minutes.. very relaxing

IndiaI went with my parents, who are over 60, and unfortunately, the lack of a lift was a bit disappointing. Our rooms were on the second floor, which made it somewhat inconvenient for them.
I loved the resort for its location and the stunning views from the room. It's a bit removed from the busy Kovalam Beach, making it a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. The restaurant offers tasty food, and the Ayurvedic massage is a wonderful addition to the experience. My kids loved the swimming pool at this resort

United StatesDingy resort surrounded by garbage covered lake that had to be crossed to get to my room. Staff at reception were unwelcoming, and the whole atmosphere was dingy. The room had a dingy feel to it, the windows were dirty. For the price, I had higher expectations.
The view of the ocean from the balcony was nice.

SpainThey ask you to pay on arrival, with a card machine that doesn't work, a 10pm, after a whole day of travel, and after keeping your passport and your visa... We spend one hours trying to pay, unseccefully. We finally paid by cash on the morning. A bit anoying when you arrive after a day trip.
Nice setting, on the sea shore. Bedroom clean and nice.
