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.).

New ZealandThe place needs a bit of maintenance, it's getting a bit run down and needs some investment. The pool was a bit green the first couple of days, but had a good clean during our stay. No windows in the room, but because it's big with high ceilings it was fine. Probably a bit overpriced for what it is.
Big room and good wifi. Staff were really lovely. Location was ok, it was a bit far to comfortably walk to either busy areas for dining, shopping, sightseeing etc. AC worked well, hot water shower was good.

United KingdomThis property is overpriced for what they offer... Stayed in a superior room and the only thing superior about this room was the size.. Storage cupboards broken, mini fridge didn't work, no ac remote, basic amenities, no shower gel in the bathroom.. Don't bother with breakfast at this place.. Very costly for a basic room
Location is good.. Staff are welcoming..

United KingdomNothing really. As explained above, the rooms are not highly finished like a normal hotel. If this puts you off, maybe look elsewhere. This really suited us perfectly though.
This is a really lovely place. Very calm and serene, and very relaxing. The rooms are huge, with (as explained in other reviews) a converted warehouse feel about them. They are not highly finished, with a bit more of a rough and ready feel to them, which suited us just fine. The air conditioning worked very well, and cleanliness was excellent. The location is really excellent too. Very easy to use it as a base to walk around Fort Kochi. I highly recommend walking too, as most of the main sights within a 30 minute walk (maybe 45 minute walk to Jew town). The place is also very close to two of the ferry terminals, to take you to Ernakulum or some of the other islands. Oh, the staff were also very friendly and very helpful.

IndiaIt's a converted warehouse, so there are no windows. The rooms are huge, almost too huge w/ wasted space. The designer was attempting to be clever with the room design, but in the end just gave up trying. Honestly they could have put some kind of internal skylight, to compensate for the cell like feeling. But other than that, really great place
The location is great. Can walk to many things. Rooms are huge. Breakfast is standard south Indian fare, if you like Idiappams & chana for bfast!!!

United KingdomI enjoyed this hotel however; I did have an unbelievably terrible experience when it came to leaving the hotel around 5am in the morning to catch my flight from Kerala to Dubai which was scheduled for 9:40am. I informed staff upon check in that I was leaving the following morning around 5am, which was also noted in the check-in form. There was no staff around the morning of check out, and the hotel was completely locked. The front entrance and back entrance both locked. There was no way of making any contact with the staff, and it was horrible experience, I felt trapped, and ultimately it's a health and safety issue.
Location was great, room size was great too

IndiaThe fact that it is a bed and breakfast only puts the leisure traveller in a spot at times, as s/he needs to step out every time for a meal.
It is a boutique bed and breakfast facility very conveniently located on Calvatty Road. The location makes it one of the most desirable places to stay.

United KingdomIt could have been clearer what was offered for breakfast. Staff didn't seem clear what to do.
Excellent reception, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Gave good recommendations for eating and visiting attractions. Room was large, cool in the heat. Pool was large. Not at all far from all tourist attractions, easy stroll. We are frequent visitors to Fort Cochin for work, and have stayed in many of the hotels, expensive and cheap, at different times. This is the best value for money and in the circumstances it did everything we wanted it to.
