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.).

United KingdomNothing, we enjoyed it all. However we thought we had booked the houseboat for just the two of us, but it turned out we were sharing with another couple. Not a problem, since they were lovely and we enjoyed their company :)
Wonderful, albeit too short stay on this lovely traditional houseboat. The food was amazing with a great variety of veg and fish and the team were fantastic, particularly Saji. It was very relaxing cruising slowly around the backwaters and we enjoyed a short guided walk at the end of the day once we'd moored up. Much thought had been put in to ensure guests are comfortable and we certainly were.

Our 3 night stay on this amazing houseboat exceeded our expectations. It is an exquisite and traditional boat and you can feel that when you get aboard. It is so luxurious in every way and the guys on the boat just add to the experience - especially Saji who was just the most memorable, knowledgeable, kind, funny & lovey person. I would easily & happily use Thara again, especially if we were lucky enough to have the same crew. An unforgettable 3 nights

United KingdomThis particular boat is two bedrooms so if you are a couple you may be sharing. Check this out when booking.
Our houseboat Oscar VII was the best, most authentic boat we saw over the three days that we cruised the backwaters. Traditional woven bamboo roof and wooden hull. Food was freshly prepared each day and was as good and better than any we had the two weeks we were in India.

Houseboats of Tharas houseboat. We needed one bedrooms but the houseboat we stayed in had two,The houseboat was spaceous and comfortable with both a/c and fans in all rooms. There were three crew members, a chef and two crew members who shared the responsibilities of serving and driving the boat. The food prepared by the chef were excellent. He prepared several dishes for every meal. The two other crew members were very helpful. One overnight stay seem amazing ,We would have wanted to stay another night. But next day boat was sold out. It’s a good place to relax and spend time with family.

NetherlandsNothing really. If I was really going to nit-pick I would mention a better eye for dusting and cleaning of the glass tabletops but really… such a small thing.
Firstly, it is a beautifully well maintained boat. The staff are just lovely from the managers David & Ambly, to the passionate chef, Sargee, who’s food was scrumptious and to the competent boatmen Raju & Jaypal. And who wouldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery of the waterways? It is just so worth the experience.

This is a MUST in Kerala. With my husband and a couple of friends, we took a traditional ultra deluxe cruise and spent the night on the boat. It was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is breathtaking, and it's beautiful to see how the scenery changes as you navigate through the wide or narrow canals of the backwaters. We spent one night, but I would have loved to stay another day. In the evening, the boat docks in a place where only we were, creating a peaceful and excellent relaxing atmosphere. The boat was impeccable and comfortable, truly flawless. The food was exquisite, offering a wide variety for those who wanted to try the delights of Kerala cuisine or those who preferred something more international. The staff was very friendly and had excellent communication. Unforgettable!

We had the most wonderful stay with Thara’s houseboats. Once on board we were greeted by the three lovely friendly courteous staff who looked after us throughout our stay. The food they provided for us was absolutely delicious. The rooms were well appointed and very comfortable. The cruising speed was just right to allow us to enjoy the view of daily life along the river banks. When evening fell all the insect nets came down to provide us with a very comfortable outdoor evening room to enjoy the fresh air in.. All in all, it was the most wonderful way to finish our remarkable Indian holiday. Many thanks to Jayapalan, saji,Raju
