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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IndiaThe last stretch of about 500 meters is little narrow and steep. Was not a problem for me, however if you have just started driving and not used to driving on hilli terrain, would recommend coming here with an experienced driver. Actually it is nothing to complain about, offbeat places are usually like this only, and the remoteness makes these places peaceful.
The location is splendid and the views are mesmerizing. The rooms are moderate size, neat and clean and well kept. It is a perfect place to unwind amidst Nature. The caretaker and other staff were extremely helpful and did their best to make our stay the best they could. The home cooked food is very good. We would return here again.

United KingdomPerhaps a little expensive in comparison to other Homestays we have used in India.
Lovely place set among coffee plantation and countryside. Comfortable, clean and we were well looked after by the manager, Harish. Many other reviews praise his kindness and thoughtfulness. And we agree. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the local food experience. The place is in the country and getting there takes a bit of effort (we don't have our own transport). We did a hike into the mountains, with a jeep arranged by Harish. Nice hike but entering the national park seems very expensive for foreigners (1000 rp).

My family and my pet had a wonderful stay here. A special mention to the hospitality and attention to details. The caretaker Harish was always there to assist us and to make sure we were well taken care of. The rooms were tidy and clean. We enjoyed the amazing home food served to us on all 3 days. The property is pet friendly and loved the views we got from our room. I recommend FernHills to any travelling team looking to go to Tadaindamol trek or if you want to just get away from the city and stay in a place little off the main city of coorg. You will be well taken care of and the coffee here is amazing.

JapanThe location is in the middle of coffee fields, so you will be so close to nature. So bugs will be there, which is kind of common in South India.
Stayed there for workation. The staff there including the owner, the owner’s mother, Harish were so attentive and always asked what I needed. Very homey atmosphere. If you want to go for trekking they will arrange the Jeep. The food prepared was so delicious. The chapatti the owner’s mother made was so superb!!! I feel so healthy after 4 days there!

The location was beautiful surrounded by hills and misty coffee plantation we had to go over a small stream to reach the homestay , its indeed a pleasant home stay minimal furniture and maximum comfort cozy mattress very clean and well maintained toilets. Friendly host and went extra mile to make us feel comfortable. Even small detail like mosquito repellent was given .Coorg style home cooked delicacy has variety in it; along with campfire and bbq was just perfect with juicy meat options. Has few rooms, if a small group rent all rooms, the whole property could be ours to enjoy campfire and play with kids peaceful all set for weekend within a decent budget
