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.).

Both location and breakfast was good. Approach road to the property made us uncomfortable. However the host and the staff were excellent. So they compensated for what was lacking.

United KingdomOverall cleanliness. Unfortunately our headboard was rotten & kept leaving mould spores on the bed, this definitely needs replacing (once mentioned they did give us fresh bed sheets but it just kept coming back). It was also covered in cobwebs & general grime which I ended up wiping off before getting into bed. Bathroom needed more cleaning too, the mirror & top of toilet had not been cleaned for a long time. This appears to be the norm in India though.
Location & staff were great. Bed sheets & towels were clean & the room was spacious. Hard to find but luckily the tuk tuk drivers from the station knew where to take us. Quite a distance from the town but we liked the fact it was quiet & tuk tuks were easy enough to catch. Included breakfast was Idli or Appam which isn’t to our taste so they very kindly make us eggs instead one morning.

IndiaThe rooms could have been little more cleaner. the location is little inside from the main road, but it is the place from where all backwaters activity starts so no complaints.
Good budget property. Helpful staff. the caretaker Ajay Ji took care of everything ,he was a kind man and was ready to help with everything we needed. The owner & Manager Mr Vaishnav also were very helpful. overall the owner and staff were really good and supportive.

IndiaNo access to cars. Cars have to be parked in the main road and we have to walk or take a two wheeler to this facility (about 400 metres). Not recommended when you have elder people in your group. Room facilities were very bad; the sockets were loose, the restroom light was dull, TV wasn't working, there were some things placed under the bed which were full of dust, no exhaust fan for the restroom.
Liked the frontal view of the resort and the ambience. The employees were friendly & services were perfect and prompt. The food was decent and they took some adhoc requests as well. They have a dining table with chairs for each room in the walkway which is a good thought.

IndiaNo food options available except breakfast. You need to order online from Swiggy & Zomato to fulfill your hunger. Difficult to access the property as the narrow lane can be missed by anyone. No direct mode of transportation available from property you need to inform the hotel prior for cabs / auto. Few lights were not functional and the property walls had stain marks.
Rooms were neat and clean with the lake facing balcony. Both Vaishanav and Ajay bhai were very helpful from checkin to check out the procedure arranged shikara rides and auto drop to the bus stop even at odd hours of night.

IndiaVehicles don't go till the property. Need to either go by boat or park the vehicle and walk around 10mins from the main road. Property needs some maintenance. There was no hot water. Rooms were spacious but had some smell especially in the bathroom. AC kept leaking.
The host was very friendly and helped us out with all our queries. Helped us with getting autos too. Front view of the property is nice.
