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.).

United StatesThe first room I had was very comfortable but I extended my stay one more night and moved to the smaller room and the sheets were a bit rough and not as comfy bed so if you want a little more softer sheets and comfy bed - stay in the larger double room!
I loved the property, the privacy, the plants, the location but the hosts are what really made it the best with their hospitality, flexibility and overall support through the whole stay.

United KingdomI liked the quiet setting, the greenery and plants all around the balconies and even in my room. The host family were so kind, helpful and welcoming. They gave really good suggestions for trips and booked me a driver for my onward journey. The highlight for me however were the Keralan breakfasts, which were the most delicious I’ve had and cooked with care! A truly wonderful stay.

BelgiumJust an amazing homestay. We only stayed for 2 nights but should've been more as our 1 breakfast that we enjoyed was so we'll taken care of! We didn't get to enjoy dinner with them (met other people who we went for dinner) but from other guests it was as delicious and all homemade! They are a super friendly family as well.

New Zealandby far our best homestay and best dinner from our India trip. The room was so spacious, clean, nicely decorated, had mosquito net, A/C and its own private outdoor seating. Plenty of greenery, the inside of the house is impeccable and the hosts so friendly. Walking distance from the park, massage, shows... Just perfect value for money and would come back if we ever have the opportunity.

NetherlandsPeriyar Inn is a place to stay for a while, take a deep breath and slow down from the busy life outside. It is the lush green balcony setup and the kind and caring people who created this gem that make this place so special. My boyfriend and I got to spend two nights with this lovely family and I wish we had another one to rest and read on the cozy balcony. The breakfast was delcious and we enjoyed chatting there with other guest. We also got invited to a very yum dinner on night, sharing stories with other travelers. We received help from the hosts with any our questions, they were always there for us and went the extra mile. We felt very welcomed in this house and I‘m beyond thankful for the experience. Thank you for putting in the time, love and effort to create this place 🌱 Note: Book your Eco Tourism Tour in advance if you only have 2 nights in Periyar.
