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...).

AustraliaWhile there were some shortfalls, I found they were more than made up for by the advantages of staying with a local family. Shortfalls for me: Wifi I couldn't connect to the wifi. However, there is more I could have done in an effort to connect, and Mani offered to help with this. Instead I opted to use international roaming on my phone, and the internet at the conference centre. Shower I didn't get hot water from the shower. However, I never mentioned this to Mani or Baby, as the weather was so hot that I didn't mind. I'm sure that if I had mentioned it they would have either shown me what I was doing wrong, or fixed it. Facilities Long days at the conference meant that I had little time to exercise. Staying at a hotel with access to a gym would make it easier to maintain a fitness regime. Ultimately, Padamadan Homestay is not a luxury hotel, and it exceeded my expectations of a homestay.
I stayed at Padamadan Homestay for a couple of weeks, while I was attending a conference at the Grand Hyatt / Lulu Bolgatty Conference Centre up the road. It was a very pleasant stay, and I felt welcomed into Mani and Baby's home like a family member. Location: The homestay is situated in a quiet neighbourhood adjacent to the Hyatt. It is about a 10 minute walk to the main entrance, which includes a flat section of paved road and a slight uphill towards the Hyatt. I found the location very convenient, although I did end up taking an auto rickshaw most mornings due to the monsoon rains, which Mani helped organise. Staff: Mani and Baby were very warm, attentive hosts, and went out of their way to ensure that I was comfortable. As well as organizing an (electric!) rickshaw ride for me each morning, they offered recommendations for local spice shops, museums, coffee houses and restaurants, and helped me organize a pharmacy visit at short notice. In addition to being helpful hosts, Mani and Baby were kind, open, and genuine people. It was a pleasure to meet them, and to feel welcomed into their world. Facilities: The house itself is well-maintained with a lovely white facade and potted purple bougainvilleas across the fence. The room I stayed in had a double bed (it was firm, and I found it comfortable); a couple of chairs; a bedside table with a lamp; a cupboard with some clothes hangers, and a small table with some cutlery and crockery. They also provided an iron and ironing board, and hair dryer. There was also a little 'kitchen' area with a kettle, cups and teabags. They offered to bring milk if required. The bathroom had a shower, toilet, sink and small shelf for toiletries (soap, shampoo and dental kit provided). There was a reverse cycle air conditioner and ceiling fan, which kept the room cool. Overall the facilities were simple and adequate, which was what I expected from a homestay. Value for money: Absolutely.

Great stay in this guesthouse thanks to Mr Padamadan, who will do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Good cleanliness, functional wifi and AC, quiet location on Bolgatty Island. Mr. Padamadan is available and answers really fast.
