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 KingdomOur host was lovely - she took care of everything we needed, was friendly and offered us recommendations. We particularly appreciated her letting us take over her living room so we could watch the football! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

New ZealandI had the most amazing stay and would recommend anyone coming to kochi to stay here. The hosts were super lovely and accommodating and always ensuring I was comfortable, got home at night. I had the omelette for breakfast each morning which was delicious and filling for my day. The room is perfect for a solo traveller, particularly for size. Outside the room is a table and chairs to chill at/work. The wifi worked very well and was strong. The location was good, out of the main area, but a short walk away from it. There is a cafe with western food next door that is open for breakfast and dinner on all days except Monday, making it very easy to grab a meal. Whilst the room was perfect and everything I was after, the hosts made the stay even better. I I'll be staying here again when I return.

United Stateswe were very happy with our stay, nothing we didn't like
We really enjoyed staying here! it was central, easy access, walk-able from old town, clean and simple, great price and the host was so sweet and accommodating! I would definitely stay here again. I also really loved how open, airy, and bright with the windows wrapping around the top floor, filled with plants and seating it was really pretty space.

United KingdomThis is a no frills home stay. So if you are used to air con, hot and cold running water and room service, this might not be for you. I loved it!
Usha was a lovely host and we enjoyed her company. She arranged a driver to take us Alleppy and also arranged our stay on a houseboat. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and suited our needs. Central to Fort Kochin. Usha made us a delicious breakfast before we set off for Alleppy. Highly recommend. Thank you Usha 😊

IndiaIts a budget friendly stay tbh. You generally do not get place for this price. The place was neat and clean. If you are looking to crash for a night then I would definitely recommend this place. It’s near to the beach and the side by market.

SpainI think the best thing about the guesthouse is Usha, the best hostess you could ever have in India. Always attentive to your tastes, she always advises the best, if you want she will cook for you a good grilled fish, she is a good cook. Ask her anything you want and she will solve it for you, she makes you feel at home. The rooms are very good, they are not very big but they have hot water and they are very clean. And the historic center is a 5 minute walk, what more could you ask for?
