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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Crossroads is one of the best places I've stayed in. I came and it felt like home and I extended my stay for 10 days. The property is beautiful, converted from an old house, beautiful furniture & art with fruits trees and fields all around. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings and easy to reach by public transport too. The best part about it is the wonderful people running it, Aflu, Manu, Gayatri, Sundar, which made crossroads feel like home. Sundar makes a variety of amazing and food ( eat his bread omlette)and Trance is the loveliest dog you'll meet! I had my 'summer vacation' chilling on the hammock,walking around in the village, playing games and eating, soaking in the serenity and I loved it! Manu also took me for a run and it was fun to run through the open fields with the sun setting. But if you'd like to go around, there are plenty of spots around and the hosts will help you with it. WiFi is great. Budget friendly stay and food too and serves both long and short term travellers. Varadoor is not commercialized so it was good to see an authentic glimpse of Kerala's village life.If you are a nature lover, crossroads is hard to beat!

IndiaAmazing vibe! They have the most gracious hosts and an amazing cook! Trance is a beautiful dog who will protect you as long as you stay there. Lovely place to have a quiet and peaceful trip. Made my journey extremely comfortable and fun! They also have another branch in Mysore which I'm sure is as amazing. Would rate it 10/10 and will definitely go again. Highly recommended!

India1. The location was a bit tricky to reach initially. The host will guide you, just follow their instructions. Also better to have your own vehicle. 2. Walls are thin I guess, I could overhear music and talk from the adjacent room. 3. The room was somewhat small, but it was shown similar in pic I guess, I realised this later. 4. The storage/cupboard was not there in the room.
1. Great Hosts. Abhishek really helped me a lot in terms of where and how to go to various places. Also, thanks for those conversations where we talked, fought, learnt and bonded. 2. Awesome food. Kerala is famous for its food, and I didn't have to go anywhere to search for local flavours. Everyday, Sundar used to prepare those delectable meals for everyone. Honestly I was skeptical about the taste initially, but just one bite changed my mind. Also, the pricing is very very reasonable. 3. Center of I think it is quite equidistant from all waynaad attractions, so yeah perfect for your waynaad sightseeing trip. 4. Peaceful environment. Most of the waynaad is peaceful, and Crossroads did complete justice to it. Surrounded by greenery (trees, shrubs and farms). Very few houses nearby, so not much external noise. You can just sit and enjoy the solitude, especially mornings are so calming. 5. Lot of open spaces. Unlike most hostel, where they try to fit a lot of rooms to accommodate more people, here there are more open spaces. You can bask in the sunlight, even enjoy the rains. Common area is shaded though. So, whatever your poison, you are bound to enjoy here. 6. They have hot water and a washing machine available too, so that problem is sorted too.

IndiaWe were doing a road trip around the south with 10 people. We were fortunate enough to find the best stay in Wayanad through Booking. We liked the hospitality of the host Afla. Who took care of us like their own people. The stay was so peaceful as we were craving for. It was clean, fresh and so mesmerizing. We happened to meet a few bagpackers as well. It was such a heartful experience to meet new people and discuss each other's experiences. Overall, I would suggest anyone who is planning to wayanad should give it a try to Crossroads Hostel.

AustraliaLoved the place
Crossroads Hostel 1957 was such a welcoming place to arrive at. Aflah really took care of me on arrival as I was exhausted from a long journey from Kochi and Kozhikode. My room was upgraded and Sundar promptly made me a delicious lunch. In fact Sundar was a master in the kitchen, and all meals are prepared for guests. It is a very chill place to visit, grab a bike or pick a book to read enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Oh and Trance the dog will adopt you immediately, he is so gorgeous.
