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.).

MalaysiaTook the chalet with private pool. Pool was not clean. Paid extra Rs 3000 for the worst candle light dinner ever. It was super dark till you can't even see your food. Food was average.
Cool weather. Lots of activities organised by the resort itself. Room was clean and comfortable.

IndiaWe recently stayed overnight at Greenwoods Resort in Thekkady, and our experience was nice and comfortable. While nothing stood out as extraordinary, the accommodations were satisfactory. We opted for the Premium Pool Suite, which was spacious and well-appointed. Although the pool was clean, we didn’t get a chance to use it due to continuous rain. The front office staff were polite but did not go out of their way to make us feel special or particularly welcome. Their approach was more reserved and less enthusiastic. Due to our exhaustion, we spent most of the day resting. The food was okay, not particularly remarkable, but satisfactory. Room service was prompt and attentive, ensuring our needs were met. Dinner was enjoyable, and while breakfast was not very elaborate, it was good enough. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay at Greenwoods Resort, Thekkady.

IndiaSeems to be overpriced slightly since for a booking of more than 14K INR , breakfast was not complimentary.
It is at one of the best locations with lot of site seeing options and activities. Most of them are close by and easily reachable. Rooms were spacious and the staff was good.

United KingdomDidn't clean room unprompted. Strange calls each night asking if we planned to eat in the restaurant. Bit tired decor.
Nice location up a hill away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Arboretum feel with many labelled trees. Macaques often roaming, along with chipmunks and hordes of cicadas. Food good in restaurant. Good shower with door.

United KingdomWe found the sunbeds didn’t have and padded cushions and being wooden found them too uncomfortable to sit on. Also our plunge pool water drained away, staff very accommodating at refilling it but was never full at the time we would have liked to make use of it. Pretty to look at though.
Beautiful grounds and room in Kumily. Food very good and room service also very good.

BelgiumThe rooms are very big but maybe too much because without any decoration it's not very cosy. It miss something. One day before our arrival, we add an announce that the main pool is in refection. Anyway we add a good moment
We took the private cottage with private pool. The park and the staff is very gentle. It's a very calm place in the center of town (kumily) at only few steps from the periyar national park. We add a few problems with the wifi and the staff gave us directly many solutions.

This property gives you a feeling of being immersed in the jungle, giving you a relaxing and peaceful stay. The food was tasty and the restaurant staff was very helpful and welcoming. The location is also very good, being in the town of Kumily, close to nearby attractions.

United KingdomThe incessant noise of the gardener, blowing leaves - using ironically a petrol device every day. Also, 2/4 pieces of the gym were not working.Also the attitude of the staff on checking in and prior was poor in relation to our payment. We were pestered so much before the stay to pay with an obscure method, which in the end I did in full. However, it seems their systems are so crap they did not receive a ‘code’ for my payment and so on arrival they pestered me again for codes. All we could do was show the money had left our credit card account. We were made to feel like paupers who hadn’t paid and no apology was given and yet it is their problem due to inefficiency!
We liked the grounds and outdoor badminton. Pool small but ok. The cooking lesson and dancing entertainment.

United StatesI thought the breakfast buffet was very overpriced for what it is. Would have preferred a menu to order from because it would have been a fraction of the price, and likely better food. I was also disappointed to see the hotel advertising and helping tourists book elephant rides when most of the world is so aware of the horrible abuse and exploitation of elephants that occurs in this industry. It would be nice if resorts were instead trying to educate tourists about the abuse captive elephants endure in India for tourism, rather than feeding into the problem. This is the only way to make change in such problematic industries.
The property is so serene and calming which was so nice! The pool is refreshingly cool, beds are insanely comfortable, and staff are all really friendly. Arun was so helpful in booking our tours for us, thank you Arun! Overall the resort feels like a peaceful oasis.

United StatesThe road is near by so sometimes you can hear a little bit of traffic.
The staff, specially their manager Mr Jose, was very warm and welcoming. This resort takes extra care in recycling water and garbage. Also I was really impressed with how they have so many trees in the property. I found a malabar hornbill to visit the trees in front of my room. Mr Arun gave a really nice tour of the property where I got to meet the workers and also a cow on the property. Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay and recommend this place for stay in Thekkady.

United Arab EmiratesWe had our family holiday in Thekkady for 3 nights and chose Greenwoods for our holiday resort. The location of the resort is prime and right in the centre of Kumily town which has easy access to everything. Climate in Dec was pleasant and the serenity of Thekkady was brought alive with the beautiful, green and lush resort of Greenwoods. The front office staff and guest relations staff were very courteous and attentive to all our needs with quick turnaround times. In house restaurant serves all types of cuisine and delicious food and the restaurant staff went above and beyond in their culinary service. All in all, fantastic place and a must visit when in Thekkady.

India1. Food- Quite literally, nothing listed on the room service menu was available. We had to change the whole order after ordering the first night because nothing was available. The time taken per service also varied. At times they would call to say there is a delay but it would be delayed more than the promised time 2. Hot water in the rest rooms were lukewarm not hot. Considering the place is quite cold the hot water should have been hot 3. For the live counter some orders(chappathi, dosa) took 20-30 mins 4. Cattleshed, Rabbit farm etc are listed as visiting places.. The rabbit farm was a single cage with multiple rabbits. It should have been way neater. 5. The play area could be much better. It had a couple of swings and a trampoline. Some of the swings were very slippery and others were hanging in an awkward angle.
Its a beautiful property. The environment and how the individual rooms were spaced across the property..There was plenty of space and peace. It was essentially with a peaceful locality and gorgeous. The staff was courteous and polite.

MalaysiaCheck in check out was terrible. Consuming more time until I have to wait more than 30 minutes. The housekeeping department overlooked the cleaning of the room. When I checked into the room the Dustin was not cleaned. No towels in the room. The lighting was too bad. We have to request. The breakfast was lacking in choices and less tasty especially south indian food. Needs more varieties. There was no sending off from the staff.
It's my third time visiting here. They upgraded my room. Thanks to the management All the while well maintained landscaping here. All the activities still remain the same and create excitement.

IndiaThere's absolutely nothing to like in this place.
The place was too good that we did not roam out and spent most of the time in the resort. Location was excellent and the property was too good. The hospitality of the staff was so good and everybody were very warm and smiling. Aswathy and Sona from the frontdesk were very helpful. Food was so amazing too. Laundry service was prompt and was not expensive. On arrival, they treated us with cardamom garlands, tikka and hot cup of coffee. I had asked for a cake and it was prepped too well with no eggs.
