Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaRooms could be improved with a bit more maintenance. For the price nothing felt premium except the views and location of the stay.
The location is perfect to go around exploring and offers excellent view of the ocean and the beach.

United StatesOne of the days after having lunch in the restaurant in the hotel, I experienced a stomach issue , and I noticed multiple signs about a vomiting cleaning fee, which seemed unusual to indicate it’s a common issue. There was also a hot water issue one day, but they addressed it upon request. Additionally, mosquitoes around the property were a concern - though this could be common in Kochi hotels near the sea.
The service was ‘outstanding’, with staff going above and beyond, particularly in assisting my senior dad, ensuring his comfort and convenience throughout our stay. The hotel is an excellent location, with easy access to all major attractions in Fort Kochi. Sunset Point appears to be a highlight, though we couldn’t enjoy it due to cloudy weather.

IndiaI had the pleasure of staying in the Lady Bristow Room. The room was beautiful and incredibly spacious. The food served was delicious, although I would recommend revisiting your breakfast menu. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Roshit at the front desk for his warmth and welcoming nature.

United KingdomBathroom - the shower was cold and flooded each time it was used, plus the light fitting was hanging precariously off the wall. The fridge wasn't working properly. The food wasn't great, and the staff didn't seem to understand when I complained about all of the above.
The location was good.

IndiaWe had booked a deluxe room, but we were shown a basic double room upon arrival. It was only after we explicitly requested to be moved that we were shifted to the room we had originally paid for . This was an inconvenient and disappointing The breakfast provided did not meet our expectations. for a hotel of your standard, this was quite unexpected
The location is excellent. The sea view is spectacular

IndiaThe food, specifically for vegetarians can be better. The options and menu was basic for what we expected. But the service and location made up for it!
The location, amenities and service was brilliant. The team made it a point to be supportive, prompt and professional. They cared about the property and its comfort. The location is right next to the attractions in Fort Kochi and on the beach with great views. It was as promised.

United KingdomIn a state of disrepair and dirty. The room we booked was not supplied and neither the hotel or booking.com were any help. The breakfast was poor quality.
The hotel is in a good position by the beach. However the beach is unusable.

IndiaVery poor Breakfast spread despite paying 13500 per room. There were hardly food options just basic stuff which we find in a 1 star hotel or lodge. Secondly, We were forced out of our rooms citing next guest coming. We paid 27000 for two suite rooms but the staff told us to immediately vacate the room by 12 noon. We had requested for an extension of 2 hrs but was not adhered and were very rude. The amount is not worth paying if services are so poor. The quality of glasses in the room was poor quality. There was a large 8 legged spider in the room due to which we just could not sleep (pic attached - check spider on wall). When we informed the staff there were very casual about the whole incident.
