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.).

CambodiaThe room is in bad need of renovation. Fixing the humidity problems on the walls and a painting job would be advisable. We had no hot water on our 1st day, but when I mentioned it, the owner immediately checked it out and fixed the problem, which only took a couple of minutes. A drying rack, either outside the door or inside the room to dry our towels, cups, and a kettle would be welcome.
Extremely friendly owners who boiled water for us and gave us cups for our morning coffee. Clean and very comfortable mattress and pillows. Closet available, great working A/C, and good water pressure. Great location in a quiet side street, only a 15-minute walk from Fort Kochi with its international restaurants, but around the corner of a hotel that serves freshly made, delicious food. The owners allowed us to keep our room until 4 pm for a nominal fee. They also operate a small store in their homestay for emergencies. Not for people with mobility problems as you'll have to climb stairs to get to your room.

CanadaThe room maintenance could have been better, especially dusting/cleaning of the floor and closet. We had to dust off some things ourselves to make them usable. We would have liked an in-house laundry facility or tie-up with a quick laundromat because the hot weather produces a lot of sweaty clothes. Would also appreciate some basic toiletries like toilet paper, soap and shampoo sachets being provided. You can however buy these, if needed, from the owner’s grocery store downstairs.
We didn’t take breakfast with them, but they provided great tea on request (this was complimentary, but they asked us to review). The location is great, 1.5km from the old Fort Kochi area, and close enough to several sights and eateries/cafes. You can walk around on good weather days easily. The room had working AC and fans, double bed, closet, table and chair, and a good balcony view. It was spacious for two people. Bathroom was clean but minimal. They provided one towel. They also allowed check in and returns without hassle despite being a family run place.

IndiaThe budget double room is a scam. It is suitable for 1 person. Plus there's no drinking water facility. So we had to ask for drinking water and all we received was 1 bottle of water for the night for two people. And there's lots of mosquitos. So couldn't sleep at all at night.
I liked the location.
