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.).

IndiaEverything are excellent.
The best home stay. I had the pleasure of staying at Greenview Home stay, Kovalam with my family on 28-29 June 2024, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. We stayed in a family room, there are two rooms (a bedroom and a children's room). From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and instantly at ease. The homestay is perfectly situated walkable distance from Kovalam Beach (Hawwa beach) and providing a peaceful area. There are also great restaurants nearby (about 400m) viz. “Taste of Kerala” and “Punjabi Daba. The hosts, Shri Sreekumar and Smt. Sushama, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the local area, offering great recommendations for places to visit and dine. Their genuine care and kindness made me feel like a part of their family. The building is brand new and well built and maintained. The room was very good, spacious, neat & clean and equipped with all the necessary amenities. There is plenty of light and ventilation. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The homestay offers excellent facilities, including a common dining room with electric kettle, water purifier and free Wi-Fi. The homemade breakfast was very delicious. They provide as Appam and Vegetable stew as breaakfast. They will provide only homemade vegetarian foods. What truly sets this homestay apart is the authentic and personal experience it offers. It feels like our home and hosts are our parents. This homestay is ideal for all type of travelers (solo, female, group travelers, family etc.) There are 4 twin rooms of which 2 are A/c., one single room and a family room can accommodate 4 or 6 persons (two separate rooms inside which is ideal for family with two children or group of travelers less than 6 Nos.

The hosts are great and the property is recently renovated. It is also well maintained. It’s a little away from the beach and in a calm and picturesque setting with lot of greenery around.

BelarusHouse itself is nice, with a top floor open, but the room I booked was amazing. It was so beautiful and well designed, that it woukd be possible just to stay inside and not to go anywhere. But the nature outside is great and worth to see. Hosts are an indian couple, they are nice persons. Any need was met immediately. I totally recommend this stay and myself will come again.

IndiaYou have to walk a few metres to get to the main road. Like 3-400 metres. But they provide you with access to rickshaws on call.
It was a very pleasant experience. The care takers were very humble, supportive and understanding. Homely atmosphere. Home cooked authentic Kerala style breakfast. All necessary amenities are available in the rooms. Just 1 km from beach. Anytime access without any hinderance. The whole owner (Sushma aunty) was extremely generous and took good care.

IndiaLocation is little inside, and auto on call are not very reliable. Its better to take a two wheeler on rent in case one has to eat out. Bathroom is a little congested and the ceiling of the rooms a little low.
The complimentary breakfast was very tasty and we totally relished it. The building is brand new and well built and maintained. There is plenty of light and ventilation, so one doesn't feel the heat at all. The hosts were very helpful and friendly.

AustraliaClean, comfortable, and very welcoming even when I arrived late. The "budget" room was perfectly set up, and really lovely to stay in. The beach is a short walk away, and there's also great restaurants nearby. I felt like I was a part of their family and community for a few days, and had such a great time here. I was spoilt with all the delicious home cooked breakfasts!

IndiaIf you are looking for a budget friendly, clean , well maintained homestay, I would recommend this. The place is very neat and hygienic. The hosts were really helpful. They are warm and their hospitality was very nice. It is worth every penny. You also get complimentary breakfast which is very yum. The place is approx 1 km from the beach. I would give it a 10/10. It is safe place to stay for female solo travellers.
