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.).

We loved the entire experience. Felt like you are staying in someone's home and not a hotel. Lovely garden with a stunning pool. The heritage nature , the boutique size, the lovely art work, scrumptous food, and impecebale service made our stay perfect. This is not your typical hotel, it's how travelling should be.

Canadathis hotel was just what I hoped for, the staff were so genuinely kind and helpful, they were always nearby but not overly attentive which can be off-putting. The Kerala seafood curries where outstanding - the coconut, cashew prawns and the fish curry with the parotta. these are my favourite dishes and I will return again just to eat it. the dogs that live there made it feel like home for me, was nice to finally be able to pet some dogs in India. The art, antiques, landscape, pool, the private outdoor shower, the details...down to the music they played make this stay 5 stars for me, I wish I could have stayed a few more nights - next time! they also provided me laundry service on short notice and let me check out later as I had a late flight.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved staying at Old Harbour. What a beautiful, tranquil space away from the hustle and bustle outside. There were lots of options on my list when looking to stay in Fort Kochi, but this hotel seemed to have more authenticity and charm, and it certainly lived up to those expectations. The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The pool and garden were wonderful - lots of lush trees and exotic birds. The laundry service was exceptional (took our whites from brown back to white again). The staff were friendly and hospitable - a special mention for Sukesh, the evening/morning manager, who went above and beyond to talk to all the guests and ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their stay. He was so kind, warm and caring. I would highly recommend this hotel.

IndiaThe Old Harbour hotel is located very convieniently in Fort Kochi, many attractions being only a few minutes walk away. The building itself is very quaint and amenable for longer periods of rest - for instance, at the swimming pool. We really enjoyed the hotel breakfast (included), and the food & wine we occasionally ordered for dinner.

United KingdomOur rooms were spacious and had a great view but probably due to the age of the hotel smelt a little humid. It would not put me off returning though, we loved it
The hotel had a wonderful feel, great atmosphere, fabulous service. All staff were extremely friendly and polite. Jude kindly organised a taxi service even for the days following our stay with Old Harbour. Location is perfect, close to the sea and the tradtional Chinese fishing nets. Food was wonderful too. I can strongly recommend this hotel and I'd love to go back.

United StatesThe staff were outstanding - friendly, helpful and kind. They helped us with our planning for departure late in the day and did everything possible for our comfort. The hotel is nicely located, close to the shore. The food was great - starting the day with a masala dosa was great. We enjoyed our dinner as well. No time for us for the spa or pool, but it was nice they were available. Great place!

They will welcome you with open arms even when you arrive close to midnight, and will help you at even turn. It was sad to leave, as it felt like we were leaving new friends behind.

United KingdomNothing not to like or say anything bad about the hotel. If you are a light sleeper the towns dogs seem to have a mad hour through the night but this adds to the charm
Whilst being in the busy bustling part of the town you are enclosed by a magical garden & a pool looking back at a beautiful mansion. The staff are amazing and if you want ti ask the chef will create cuisine that is off the menu.
