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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwitzerlandOur stay was amazing! Johnson is an extremely nice and attentive host, always willing to go the extra mile for his guests. He gave us useful information for Kochi, recommended great restaurants and even organized a driver for us last minute. His family too is very welcoming and kind. The room was very clean and well equiped and the beds were very comfortable. The homestay is well located in the middle of Fort Kochi in a lovely neighbourhood. Restaurants, the beach and important sights in walking distance. We would come back anytime!

United Arab EmiratesIt can be a little noisy early in the morning due to the neighborhood, not the place in itself.
Clean room and bathroom, very nice and helpful owner. Absolutely needed AC made it even better. Nice rooftop as well though it was too hot and humid to spend time there at this time of the year. Great location in Fort Cochin. I highly recommend.

Lovely Homestay. Nice clean comfortable room with fan, A/C and private bathroom including hot water. Only a 10 minute walk to all the shops and sights in Fort Kochi. Lovely helpful hosts.

We spent a total of three nights at Aaron's Home stay and highly recommend it. The location is perfect to walk in Fort Kochi and plenty of good cafes and restaurants. The rooms are very clean as well as the entire house. The house and garden are beautifully decorated with flowers. Johnson and his family are very helpful, kind and loveable hosts. They are always available and helped us with trips to Munnar and the backwaters. We loved to sit and chat with them and learn more about their culture. We would definitely stay here again at any time. Thank you so much :)

CroatiaOne of the cleanest accommodation during our trip in India. We booked 2 AC rooms, the Standard room was big enough for 2 of us, the Budget one is really comfortable for 1, but can accommodate two. AC worked really well, bathrooms were really clean. Johnson& his family are lovely and welcoming. The prices for a day backwaters excursion and taxi transfer to airport were more than fair. The top floor terrace is great for hanging out in the evening. While the accommodation is in an alley, it's really well lit during the night.

AustraliaNothing, highly recommended.
Great location within walking distance to all attractions in Fort Kochi, yet it's tucked away at the end of an alley off the main road so it's quiet at night. Johnson speaks very good English, very responsive, welcoming, informative and helpful. Our room is spacious, bright with lots of windows, quiet a/c and fan, clean bathroom. Filtered water to be filled on site and kettle in the communal kitchen is an awesome way to reduce plastic bottles. We love the chai stall just at the main road, the nearby Kerala Kathakali Centre offers great performance, Spice Roots and Mary's Kitchen are great places to eat.

Excellent home stay - extremely clean and had all the basics - towel, soap, pillow, blanket, hot water. There’s also a shared kitchen + filtered water. Super cute terrace which was a nice place to hang out and also had a toilet + shower to use post check out. Very well located and easily walkable to fort Kochi or Jew town. Johnson helped us with things to do nearby and booked the culture show tickets for us. His girls and mother were also very nice and helpful. This stay has set a very high bar for homestays in the future especially in terms of its cleanliness.

SwedenThe room I booked it was a bit small but they have bigger rooms, very spacious. So I would recommend to book to big room if you are a couple and want to have some spare space to exercise/ meditate/ yoga or whatever. We had 2 big backpacks, and the free space was only for the bags.
The location is perfect, Johnson and the rest of the family are very helpful, they talk good English and it is easy to communicate with them. Very supportive in all activities you want to arrange or anything you might need. All very clean, filtered water available and kitchen to use if you need it. Comfortable beds. I strongly recommend this place if you are staying in Fort Cochin. We felt at home, and Johson made everything very easy and smooth for us.
