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.).

In whole my travel history i haven't seen such a clean property. Such a kind people are the hosts. We were late on our arrival, but they were waiting for us. Lakshmi is one very lovely person. To everyone who wants to visit Kerala and especially Cochi. I will highly recommend Prakrity homestay. And what is most amazing - the rooms don't have numbers but names. Like butterfly, sunshine, rainbow, ocean.

FranceGreat location near to the Fort, safe area, spotless clean, comfortable bed, filtered water available, great value for money and very well-coming family. It’s simple but well maintained house. The rooms are independent from the family’s house and there is a small common area. Lakshmi and her husband are very kind, they will make sure you feel comfortable. Also they were very kind to let me check-in at 1am and have a late check-out without any extra costs. I totally recommend this place !

An absolute gem of a homestay in a great location, wonderfully warm and welcoming hosts, clean, comfortable and spacious rooms with separate kitchenette with fridge and freezer, filtered water and tea. The host had very good recommendations for dinner at the best local restaurant with great food. My sister and I really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to any travellers.

United KingdomLakshmi is a warm and welcoming host - from the moment I arrived, after a night on a sleeper train, she was kind and helpful. My room was made available at 7am and I was able to stay on 'til evening on the day of departure with no extra charge - amazingly generous - she also provided lots of local information, arranged for my laundry to be done, and booked concert tickets (don't miss the excellent Kathakali concert).The place is delightful, super clean, tastefully furnished, and in a quiet residential street yet only a short walk from the buzz of Fort Kochi. Both a/c and fan were efficient, hot water plentiful, and the bed was the most comfortable I've had throughout India. The bath towel smelt lovely and fresh, and both power socket and light switch were accessible from the bed - little things mean a lot! Perfection.

New ZealandMy very small and only gripe would be to provide bigger blankets on the bed. This was really minor considering how wonderful the room was.
The room was spotlessly clean and just a 10 min walk down to the main hub. Lakshmi was great helping us with any questions. Kitchen and communal area were well equipped with everything you need. Filtered water was a great bonus with a fridge to keep drinks cold. The rooms were a decent size as was the bathroom. Amazing value for money.

SwedenI can’t think of anything.
I had such a good stay at Prakriti Homestay. The room was very clean and everything was so nicely organized. There’s a shared space with a fridge and kettle which was very useful for me. The owners are such kind and caring people, you could easily ask them anything you might need help with. I enjoyed a delicious Kerala breakfast each morning. Overall it’s a very good price for what you get. I only booked 2 nights but extended because I felt so comfortable.

The clean room came with air conditioning, toilet paper, complimentary drinking water, and a kettle, making it a comfortable choice even for Japanese travelers. Personally, I appreciated having an outlet near the bedside and a bathroom with hot water. The owner, Lakshmi, was extremely kind and provided detailed guidance on how to get to my next destination.

IndiaThe property has rooms just right for 2 people for couple of days stay on the 1st floor which is accessible by stairs. Has a common dining area and small kitchen for making coffee which is very clean. You can pre-order breakfast for a fee to have a homely and tasty local food (we did order for one day , coffee could have been better with little more quantity though as it was really tasty local food!!) We were allowed for an early check in and late check out is possible if available. And we are so grateful for that. But unfortunately there was some construction going on and couldn’t use the time for taking rest. Walls are quite thin and you will wake up if someone talks in the common dining area. Kitchen has free RO water, toaster and a kettle with cutlery. Also there is a fridge. Rooms have a small table and chair to work , cupboard and AC cools very quickly! Good for the summers. Bathroom is huge and very clean. Best place to stay in fort kochi for the price as there is value in this stay. Initially the blanket given was quite small for me while a slim person could be comfortable in it. But lakshmi chechi immediately got a bigger one for both of us so the sleep was perfect and comfortable. Owners are very friendly and welcoming and small things are neglected when there are so many good things about this place. They also arrange small tours near by and help you with details which you can get from them. Car can’t be parked here while bikes can. Can hire bikes near by(be careful with shana rental guy)
