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.).

IndiaA/C is not working, and there is no fan in the room. We stayed at the end of March which is peak summer in Kerela. Our whole family with kids haven't slept for the whole night. Very suffocating and mosquitoes were biting if we sat outside of our room.
Location is nice, but there is little discomfort in reaching the resort, when you carry your suitcases. As there are no proper roads, you need to carry your suitcases for about 400 metres.

New ZealandRoom was disappointing - didn’t have a lakeview, coffee machine or a bath (as described in the booking for a superior double room). I had to request a change of room on arrival from one that was scruffy (and not matching the description) to one that was a bit tidier (and still not matching the description). No explanation / solution was offered either than the ‘correct’ room having been booked already. Suffered a suspect bed bug bite as well, which is a bit gross! Otherwise, the breakfast was fairly basic and not worth writing home about. There is probably better value to be had at other properties in the area, with all of that in mind.
Nicely situated on the backwaters, and the morning boat tour organised was great albeit very pricey relative to those in town. Staff helped to arrange a laundry service, which was nice.

SingaporeThe bed sheet and towels were worn out and stained. It’s abit pricey for the condition of the property, especially compared to the villa next to it with similar price range. The motor boats also disturb the peace of the backwaters during peak season.
The room faces towards the water. The view was nice. It’s generally pleasant when there are not many tour boats. The property manager helps arrange the early morning boat tour. The helper was extremely helpful.

IndiaCeiling fan should be available if you don't want to put on the AC. WiFi signal is weak in the rooms. I suggest to hook up Routers via LAN cable in all rooms. Some people like us do not like too soft beds. A small layer of coir mattress could be added as an option.
Chilanka Lake View Resort is just beside the lake.. means you can watch the boats go by whole day! Great place to cool off! It is popular in Alleppey and the Punnamada starting point is known for the boat race. Auto wala will take Rs 200 (Oct 2023) from the Railway station to the resort. Boat jetty to the resort is 50-80 depending on which side of the canal you are. Mr Tijo is very friendly and will help you fetch your luggage from the main road to the resort if you call him in advance from the town. Because the road to the resort from the main road is not for pulling your trolley bags. He will also inform you of the various other paid facilities available. Mr Ajay, the caretaker, is also very helpful. He and the other maids there will ask you if you need anything. They serve a great breakfast and tea/coffee! No lunch/dinner is prepared. But Zomato and Swiggy deliveries come in 30 mins for food orders. It was safe, cool and best place for a peaceful stay. Highly recommended. I will directly go to Chilanka in my next plan!
