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.).

Thank you, Joe! We had a great stay at Mistletoes. Hospitality is extraordinary. Joe treats his guests like friends rather than clients. We loved our room, we loved the breakfasts and dinners with the other guests that always turned out to become very conversational. Its a great place to stay, eat and make friends. Food is great by the way.

ItalyNothing! All was good
Joe and his family were incredibly warm and helpful, from the food to help you book tours. On the first day, they introduced me to another family of guests went to see the elephants. They also helped me book a cab to take me to all the places. I was a bit sick at this point, so they made bland food for me. On top of this, the location is absolutely gorgeous, every room has a balcony with the most amazing mountain views, and It is very close to Munnar (about 30 min). The rooms were beautiful and impecable.

SingaporeA number of folks mention the close proximity to the road. I will say, although I heard cars at times, I really didn’t notice it much at all. The property is so peaceful, and I got some of the best sleep I’ve ever had in my life.
Had an amazing 3-day stay with Joe and his incredible family at Mistletoe. Joe is the coolest and is so helpful with everything (preparing meals, booking rides and activities). The room is beautiful and super functional, and the views are truly stunning. Thanks for everything, Joe and family! Hope to see you again someday!

Everything. A fabulous retreat run by a most delightful family in the rolling hills near Munnar. The extensive menu for dinner was particularly impressive. I stayed and ate in the lovely dining room 3 nights and all dishes I had were superb. Many Vegan (I am not) choices available too. My room has spectacular views of the surrounding hills from a lovely balcony. Joe (the owner with his wife Jeena) was happy to advise and organise all activities you could require for your stay. A very interesting man and we had many greats chats during my stay.

United StatesNothing we didn't like!
Can't find anything negative to say about this place! Our host Joe and his family were very welcoming and hospitable, from the moment we arrived til the moment we left. The location is about 30 minutes from Munnar centre, which ended up being perfect as it was more quiet and there were so many birds on the property! The food was delicious with a wide array of cuisines available. Joe was able to help us arrange drivers for our excursions and also recommend things to do and places to see. Also arranged airport transfer for us. We would definitely stay again!

United KingdomExcellent stay! We were a party of 7. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms had excellent hot showers. The room views were beautiful. We arrived late afternoon and Johnson kindly provided us with a variety of snacks on arrival. We were lucky enough to see their vegetable field, where they grow their own fruit and vegetables used in their authentic dishes. Would highly recommend the walk down to the local river. He helped organise safari jeep tour and taxis. The food was delicious and all was homemade, would highly recommend having dinner here, especially trying the bitter gourd dish. We also v much enjoyed playing Subuteo/tabletop football. Overall fantastic.
