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 reviewWonderful experience at this homestay. The facilities are very nice and well-maintained. Owners, both Elizabeth Maa'm and Mr. Manuel are excellent with a very good attitude and conduct. The stay was affordable and truly worth the money. I appreciated that they allowed me some extra time during checkout as well. I strongly recommend this place and will definitely choose it again next time!

Verified reviewThe hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. A nice breakfast was available for a small extra charge and refreshing cups of marsala tea were a regular feature. Between stays, we were able to leave some luggage that we didn't need whilst in India. That was really helpful to us. Meanwhile all of the basics are well taken care of, with clean & comfortable rooms at a competitive price.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at Joseys Homestay! The hosts were both amazing and really helpful! They were able to sort out tickets for us at the Kathakali centre and organised us a trip down the backwaters! The breakfast was delicious and really filling with something different everyday. We also really enjoyed our chats with the host. The bedroom and bathroom were also a good size for 2 people and the water was nice and hot. There is a communal fridge in the kitchen which you’re able to keep food and drinks in. The location is perfect for exploring Fort Kochi with everything being around a 7 minute walk away. I would really recommend Joseys Homestay to anyone!

Verified reviewWe loved our short stay at Joseys homestay. The room was small but completely adequate for two people. There is a small additional fee for the air conditioning (which we needed in November). Josey and her brother were fantastic. The breakfast that they provided was so tasty and they really went out of their way to meet our vegan requirements!

Verified reviewElizabeth and Manuel are the best hosts ever, really kind and always willing to help with all sort of things and information. The rooms are nice and clean, and have a good space. The place itself is quiet. You can get everywhere in Fort Kochi within 7 min walking. I booked for 1 night and stayed 6, definitely would go back here.
