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 reviewRenjith arranged a seamless pick-up from the airport at 4am and he was there to greet us at 4.30. Breakfast is really good and sets you up for the day. We both really enjoyed our stay there. The swimming pool was one of the cleanest I've ever been in the water is fabulous. As explained it is a little remote but worth it for the peace and quiet.

Verified reviewHad such a lovely experience here The hotel is like a home from home I’ve had wonderful Ayurvedic treatments from Ragini , super breakfasts cooked by Omana and super service from Adul too The pool is beautiful under the palm trees and is filled with filtered water from their well all powered by their solar panels Murigan, the hotel owner is just great- as a lone traveller in my sixties felt really safe in his hands- nothing is too much trouble for him to arrange and he has a great sense of humour Came away so relaxed from my stay at this little oasis by the lake, just a Tuk Tuk ride away from Kovalum beach, the most lively and cosmopolitan seaside resort I’ve ever visited in India. Shops , bars and restaurants make this the easiest beach for and Europeans to visit .

Verified reviewPeaceful location, good pool and staff.Had great walks around the lake and a good massage.The road to Kovalam was awful and lack of any other local food was a drawback. The room was large and clean although the bed was too firm and could do with coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Although I had a balcony with good lake views, this was not attached to the room but accessed via a common room .Did enjoy my stay and would return

Verified reviewAmazing location, surrounded by wildlife a huge lake and the Tranquility of a quiet backwater and a rural Indian neighbourhood. To be able to watch the fishermen and farmers going about their daily tasks, and the quiet of the location was a winner. The in-house Ayurvedic female massage practitioner was one of the best I have ever had, amazing. The swimming pool was a lovely added bonus and complete relaxation was exactly what this place does best. Super clean and had no problem with mosquitoes. I would most certainly recommend this and may return myself.
The property is reached by a very bad road. There are many holes in it as these local roads are supposed to be maintained by the water authorities, and they do not do any work on it. The trip to Kovalam beach, Lighthouse beach et cetera is always a bit of a trial as you are bumped along it every time you need to go out for anything. I would say it’s worth the effort as the location is so tranquil and away from the madness that is now. Sadly, Kovalem beach.

Verified reviewMy family and I stayed four nights here, over new year, and found it comfortable and relaxing. We purposely chose somewhere away from the noise of town, but convenient enough to get there. A tuk tuk is about 200 rupees to the town/beach (300, coming back after 10:00pm). My children shared an upstairs room. My girlfriend and I had a ground floor room but the mattresses downstairs are much firmer (fine for me but my girlfriend couldn’t sleep), so we were moved upstairs after our first night. The pool is lovely, the location is relaxing and tranquil and breakfast on the roof terrace, overlooking beautiful scenery is a lovely way to start the day. I had a plate of fruit and a masala dosa each morning. The owner, Murugan, is quite a character: welcoming, helpful, and will do his best to address any issues you might have.
Mattresses in ground floor rooms are quite hard. Location is a little difficult to find, along some windy lanes. Some tuk tuk drivers in town are unfamiliar with address/directions.

Verified reviewNice pool, good breakfast, clean property. Although very isolated it meant that the property was calm and peaceful. Liked having refillable water. We used a Tuk tuk driver recommended by the hotel as many others struggled to find the place which is in the middle of nowhere 15 mins drive from restaurants/ beach
Some discrepancies in the room description. The cable/ satellite TV was broken completely. The coffee/ tea machine was a kettle with 2 cups, no tea or coffee available. Could do with sun umbrellas at the pool as struggled without shade.

Verified reviewAfter a couple of weeks of hectic traveling on my first solo trip, I was stressed and ready for some much-needed relaxation. This hotel turned out to be exactly what I needed at the right time. The property is spotless, and the staff are genuinely pleasant and helpful, always going the extra mile. I had two massages/treatments, both of which were excellent. The same-day laundry service was incredibly convenient, and the staff also arranged a rickshaw for my trips to the beach, which made exploring stress-free. The pool was well-maintained, and the environment and scenery added to the calming experience. I left feeling relaxed and recharged. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.
