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 reviewThis was the best property we stayed at in our 2 week trip to South India. We were very well taken care of by Benesh, the villa is beautiful with a private pool, security, big private bedrooms with comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, filtered water on tap, easy walk to the hotel for a delicious breakfast and close to everything. Benesh organised a free tuk tuk tour of Forte Kochi for us with amazing guides...which we could tailor to see what we wanted, but not what we didn't. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.
The only thing that would make it better if if we had planned to stay more days here - amazing property.

Verified reviewReasonably well located,well stocked kitchen and good helpful staff
The third room is tiny and it has no balcony as compared to the other two which are large and spacious with large balconies . Not good if there are three separate families sharing the property. The attached toilet in the third ground-floor basement did not have an exhaust fan. No fire extinguisher location or fire escape plan shared with us. No room service. No in-house chef to serve breakfast(although the PDF flyer shared with us after booking said that they had one). Breakfast was served at “Eighth Bastion” a sister property that involved a fairly long walk on a main road which has rash drivers and no pedestrian walkway.

The restaurant is a 10 minutes walk from the bungalow. Really not a problem

Verified reviewThis property was magical. Perfect for us. The space, the bright, airy spotlessly clean rooms. Most of all Cherian. Always smiling and there with whatever you need before you can even ask. Things were a little complicated because of the carnival with movements restricted and so on. But Cherian found us a way. Thank you Cherian.

Verified reviewExcellent property. Very quiet and relaxing. Ideal for a family getaway. Walking distance from the heritage district. The ‘cherry on the cake’ was Mr Cherian, the caretaker, who went out of his way to make sure that we had everything we needed. Very friendly staff.

Verified reviewAwesome hospitality. Cherian was a great host. Did not lack anything that we wanted. Always available for any requests. Besides, the property was private and secluded and extremely well appointed.
A wee bit pricey...but I guess that's fine if you have the time to enjoy all the amenities that are on offer.

Verified reviewGreat breakfast at 8 bastion, the sister property. The host Cherian was excellent and very responsive. The private pool is a true luxury.
The property facilities are a bit dated for the price you pay. Needs a bit more invested to justify the price. The space itself is excellent and the art deco design is very pleasing.

Verified reviewThe property was very clean and well maintained. The manager was very prompt in replies and was very helpful. They kept us informed well about the crowds for the new year party in the Fort Kochi festival and gave us good information . The kitchen was well stocked up and it was well maintained. The pool was clean and it was cleaned regularly. There was a surprise visitor in the morning in the form of a peacock
The TV could be made a smart TV. Also there is a suggestion to make the pool heated. The spread of the breakfast should be added with little more local cuisines.
