Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaThe hotel provides only bottled Bisleri water, of course free of charge. As a hotel that practices sustainability, they should be encouraging the use of RO water to guests and prevent accumulation of plastic water bottles.
The breakfast spread spread was awesome ! As a family we enjoyed it. The dinner menu buffet spread was also very good. Loved the swimming pool. Well maintained with a staff on duty always present. The gym is also good. The air conditioning was excellent! The lobby area is vast and well designed.

GermanyThe staff was not very helpful, when I asked, what we could do in Cochin. The dinner time was with 7:30 pm too late for us. It was loud at the pool, because of some works. There were no opportunities to sit outside in the shadow, except the deck chairs at the pool. There was a restaurant close to the pool, but as soon as the dinner tables were set, we were not allowed to sit there, which was two hours before dinner time srarted, so we could not even sit there, when we were willing to order something. They were willing to order a taxi for us, but then we had to pay three times as much, as would be usual (uber).
The breakfast and dinner buffet was great, a big choice and a good opportunity to test different indian dishes. There were a lot of plants, which was very nice. The price was good. The service at the restaurant was good. The island is quite and close to Fort Cochin.

IndiaHotel looks dated and old fashioned compared to many modern hotels in Cochi. Wish the fish restaurant was air-conditioned.
Room was spacious. Stayed in this hotel many years ago. I remember it was bustling and busy with very good ambience. Now it is quiet and looks bit dated. Restaurants are very good. Breakfast fare was very good. Staff was polite and helpful. Location is bit depressing. It's in port area with godowns and shipping agency offices around. Willingdon Island is far off location from Marine Driver and Airport.

United KingdomThe hotel is a little out of the way and transport to and from the hotel was not that easy particularly at night. It took some time to get to Fott Kochi and other sights. The bar served nice food but was a bit claustrophobic. Otherwise everything was superb.
Exceptional staff ... friendly and helpful. Very helpful in arranging transits to airport, station etc. Lovely relaxed vibe in the hotel. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Superb breakfast. Delicious meal at their seafood restaurant.

United KingdomLocation is very strange on a man-made island that belongs to the Indian government. It is basically a port and there are huge silos of oil, concrete and goodness knows what else not far from the hotel which have been offloaded there. Most of the traffic on surrounding roads are large tricks. Most of the surrounding houses have been abandoned following a flood a few years ago. Consequently there are few other eating options without taking ferry or taxi to Fort Cochi
Buffet breakfast was very good and the attached seafood restaurant was excellent. We also had a buffet supper in the main restaurant which was fine. Swimming pool area was OK. Staff were pleasant and helpful and it was fine for a short stay. Rooms were spacious and clean

IndiaSurprised that for a CGH property, they supply water in the rooms in plastic bottles. Even smaller hotels and lesser-known hospitality brands have long moved on to more sustainable options.
I liked that it has an old-world charm, away from noise and pollution.

IndiaThe property shud be stated as 4 star- everything was good but could have been better. The reception definitely needs to be upgraded for a 5 star. Rooms were good. The pool was superb. Its on d outskirts and the property was expected to showcase a much serene and close to nature areas but it dissaponted in both the expects. Why sacrifice staying in the central area here was not justified with miniature version of pure Kerala experience. Breakfast and food was good.
