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.).

IndiaI liked everything about the place. No complaints. There's a shipyard a little ways away from the property, for us it just added to the uniqueness of the place.
Excellent location, ambience and staff. Very scenic and beautiful place, well maintained. The food was creatively curated. The staff is very courteous and helpful.

IndiaThe walkways are not very easy. Tiresome and difficult for challenged/older people. No alternatives available. Taxis won't come inside the property. so have to walk quite a bit /climb multiple stairs. Put in an alternative and it should work
staff..very courteous and accommodating. Very peaceful. The squeaky clean beach is just 1 stair below the property

United StatesCheck-in process could be better and efficient with the paperwork and pictures and all. They could also share more details on amenities available at the time of check-in. Food options at the restaurant are limited, especially if you have food allergies and you prefer dairy-free or gluten-free. And the restaurant hours and menu is limited and there aren't many places nearby where you can grab a quick bite.
Gorgeous place, exceeded my expectations - ocean view, ocean access, greenery, privacy. Staff were accommodating and usually stays out of your way unless you request something. Pools were great as well. Overall, a great place to relax in Kovalam.

United KingdomIt’s a shame the hotel only caters for vegetarians - the a la carte menu looked really good but wasn’t available. The eco-friendly ethos of the resort is really nice, but having some cold drinking water available would have been nice. Staff, apart from pool attendant, weren’t that helpful or friendly which might be nice if you want to be left alone for your retreat but we felt a bit ignored at times
Beautiful, large hotel in idyllic setting. The rooms were lovely and clean and very big with all the facilities you could need. The swimming pools and grounds are well maintained and it’s in a great location on the beach and quiet away from all the hustle and bustle of Lighthouse beach which is a 15 minute drive away.

I loved everything about this retreat. The setting was incredibly relaxing, with stunning gardens, two pools, a private beach, and a wonderful room. The staff were always smiling apart from the reception staff. Excellent laundry service at a reasonable price was offered. Restaurant meals and the dining room setting were fabulous. Massage services out of this world.

United Arab EmiratesI think it’s part recovering from the Covid lockdown that were nearly for 2 years. We saw some ants that was not very good. I also feel that it’s a bit over-priced. Finally, the taxi stand in front of the property has a few idiots specially the guy named Shiju. He took us to Kanyakumari and it was such a frustrating experience as he was rude and uncouth.
The people - starting from Frederict (Freddie) and it flows from the top. We could not engage with him but he came across as an exceptional human being. Krishna in the kitchen and the others too also took incredible care of our family. The house keeping ladies entertained my mother with local stories and blended with us. For my mother it was a refreshing change.
