Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Subject: Complaint Regarding Misleading Listing and Unpleasant Experience at Safari Homestay, Fort Kochi Dear Booking.com Team, I am writing to express my disappointment and file a formal complaint regarding a very unpleasant experience during my recent stay booked through your platform. On the night of April 5th, I had a confirmed booking at Safari Homestay, Fort Kochi, which was clearly listed on your website as an air-conditioned property. However, upon arriving at the property around 11 PM, the host informed us that air conditioning was not included in the price and demanded extra payment for it. Not only was this misleading, but the host also insisted that I cancel the booking on Booking.com and instead pay him directly — a total of ₹800 — even though my confirmed booking showed ₹625 as the total amount including all charges. We were extremely tired and unwell after our journey and did not have the energy to argue. Shockingly, the host used my phone to cancel the booking himself. At checkout, he even refused to provide a bill for the payment made. I have attached a photo of the check-in register showing my personal details as evidence. This experience was deeply unprofessional and distressing, and I believe it reflects poorly on Booking.com’s vendor vetting and listing accuracy. I request that you investigate this matter seriously and take appropriate action against the property and host to ensure this doesn’t happen to any other customer in the future. Looking forward to your response and resolution.

It just didn't feel right and there wasn't even a sign outside so I thought it was a scam 😕 Maybe you should contact the owner a ask what's going on.
I didn't stay, after arriving and seeing the place I decided not to stop there. Lucky for me I didn't pay in advance so no refund was needed.

It was very difficult to find the property. Owner didn’t even picked the call (Called 10 times) this is unacceptable . We reached there at night and after 30 mins of searching one local guy helped us to find out the property. After reaching there the room given at first was not cleaned properly then as per our request given other room , which was very small and there was no towel and soap. We walked 1.5kms for buying the same. Never ever faced this kind of experience, booking.com shouldn’t have to promote this kind of stay as there is no support available from property owner.
