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 KingdomThe pool was out of action and although the rooftop restaurant was pleasant it was quite empty and lacked atmosphere. The staff were very friendly.
The location , price and spa facilities . I had a wonderful massage with hot oil pads , just great for aching muscles after walking .

United KingdomNothing- I was very pleased with my choice of hotel in Kochi. I guess it’s a taxi or tuk tuk ride away from the main tourist areas of Kochi, but this enhanced the appeal of the hotel for me.
Staff welcoming and helpful during my stay. Exceptionally well-appointed room which was clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Ayurvedic treatments in hotel Spa were amazing and great value for money- I can definitely recommend these. Restaurant staff friendly and helpful. All in all I would rate this as an excellent small hotel that exudes calm, and is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of daily life!!

NetherlandsThere was nothing we didn’t like everything was great!
The place was spotless and very well maintained. Everyone we interacted with was not only friendly but truly helpful. Communication was excellent quick, clear, and professional. The location was great too, with plenty of shops and amenities nearby. The room was beautiful and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay.

IndiaI have probably been to Retrieve around 10 plus times now honestly, i have lost count. Every time i am in Cochin, this is where I land, whether it’s for work or just some quiet time. There’s something about the vibe here. calm, simple, and kind of comforting. The rooftop cafe is a favourite of mine, and the spa is a nice bonus when I need to relax. Solo or with family, it just works. Feels like a little pocket of peace in the middle of the city.

BrazilThe room was amazing, I think I fell in love with the shower! It was comfortable and cozy, I could enjoy the city and come back to have the nicest sleep ever, we could easily fit both of us starfishing without even touching! The employees, even if shy, were very sweet to me, and I loved the café on top of the hotel! I would love to come back next time I visit Kochi!

MalaysiaWe booked 2 rooms, WiFi on 2nd floor room (nobility) was extremely poor. Need to step out of the room to access WiFi. Room service meals cost the same as the restaurant itself but the portions are much lesser. (Ordered South Indian filter coffee in both restaurant and room service, only half mug served for room service, and in restaurant it was a full mug). Proximity to shopping areas is a little distant, needs Uber/ Auto to go to those areas.
Second time staying here. Very clean and comfortable hotel. Has a pleasant atmosphere and a good calming fragrance throughout the hotel. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. Water pressure was excellent and washroom is very clean.

IndiaWhen it comes to what I didn’t like about the hotel — honestly, there’s nothing that comes to mind. Every aspect of my stay has been smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. From the cleanliness and service to the overall atmosphere, everything has consistently met or exceeded my expectations.
I’ve been staying at this hotel frequently for the past year, and every visit has been a consistently pleasant experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the ambiance is calm, and the location is perfect for both business and leisure stays in Kochi. A special mention to Sowmya from the staff — her friendly and helpful nature always adds to the comfort of my stay and reflects the overall hospitality of the hotel. The hotel also offers a great massage facility, which is a big plus for tourists looking to relax after a long day. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Kochi; it’s become my go-to stay for a reason!

IndiaIt would be great to have a café or separate kitchen that serves a variety of local dishes, as the current café offers only continental options. Providing a dental kit and a notepad with pen in the room would also be a nice touch.
I had a wonderful stay. The staff—from the front desk to the housekeeping team—were cheerful, helpful, and welcoming. The room was spotless and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The spa center was a highlight, offering professional Ayurvedic massages that left me feeling completely relaxed.

New ZealandUnfortunately, the only thing that ruined our stay here was the strong smell of mould. Our first room had mould all over the ceiling in the bathroom, and the second room smelt badly of it, although you could not see it.
This place is a total gem in Kochi. For the money we paid, and the facilities it was amazing. The rooms are roomy although our bathroom was small, we moved to a different room and had a much larger bathroom. The pool was a great reprieve from the city and the staff were all really nice.

1. truly excellent service - friendly, very helpful and kind. They help you with whatever they can, going an extra mile to keep guests happy. I was a single female traveller and the stuff including the General Manager went out of their way to make extra sure that I feel safe. 2. Location - easy to get everywhere, the airport is reachable in about 40 min withöut traffic and about 1 hr with traffic 3. Comfortable room, good firm bed 4. The spa services
