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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Sri LankaOne notable thing during our stay was the occasional power cuts, which are quite common in hill stations. However, the team at Vaanam handled it well—essential items like lights, Wi-Fi were backed by additional power supply, so we were never really inconvenienced.
Vaanam Holidays in Ooty was a serene and memorable stay nestled in the hills. Surrounded by lush greenery and misty views, it felt like living inside a painting. The mornings were peaceful, the air crisp, and the entire setting perfect for relaxation or reflection. The rooms were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up for comfort. A special mention must go to their in-house cook, who prepared absolutely delicious meals. Whether it was a simple breakfast or a hearty dinner, every dish had a touch of homely warmth and local flavor that made dining a joy. The staff were courteous, helpful, and genuinely committed to ensuring guests had a pleasant stay. Whether you're a couple, family, or solo traveller, Vaanam Holidays is an excellent choice if you're looking to slow down and soak in the charm of Ooty. Highly recommended for those who value comfort, good food, and genuine hospitality in a beautiful natural setting.

IndiaRoom was not spacious. We could barely walk with all the furniture inside. Toilet seat was kept too close to the side wall. We could not sit straight on the Seat as there was no space on the right side. Bathroom water pressure was very low we could not use the Shower much. The wash basin should have been little bigger.
Nice Location! It was easy to locate and you get nice views from the balcony

AustraliaVanam Holidays offers panoramic valley views from spacious, well appointed rooms with balconies. The rooms have western style ensuite with toiletries. The hotel is situated a short distance outside of Ooty and offers sweeping views of the Kethi Valley and surrounding mountains. The rooms provide direct views of tea plantations and garden farms. The location is great for walking with a new sealed road that winds itself up into rich farming lands inclusive of tea, mushrooms and other crops and the opportunity to see a diverse range of birds. Without a doubt the prize of Vanam is the exceptional service provided by hotel staff who go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable stay. The food - is fresh, tasty and gloriously cooked in a loving home style way - by the most caring ladies you will ever meet. We stayed extra nights just to enjoy the delicious foods from our room and to savour the views from our room. Special mention to Udaykumar, Ambika Amma, Jaya, Bipin and Jaya who truely make Vanam an amazing stay - look forward to our return visit!!

IndiaI will have to think too long and hard as I really am unable to find fault with our stay. So honestly nothing that we dint like.
It was a perfect stay at Ooty. We liked everything at this place. Starting with Udaykumar sir , the manager who was such a humble and polite person and responding and confirming on all the stay queries. The property is located on a fabulous location, away from the city crowd and hustle bustle. The view from the room is divine and blissful. Beautiful mornings and evenings with plenty of birds chirping around. Nice balcony to sit and have coffee or tea and relax in tranquillity. The room was a spacious and comfortable one with all amenities available with kettle,, television with several channels , sitting place , wardrobe , comfortable mattress and pillows , nice ambience to the room , spacious washroom with hot water available always. Clean and crisp towels. The wifi worked terrific and very strong all the time. The Food service was absolutely homely and awesome. Every dish served at complimentary breakfast , lunch and dinner was a delight and we relished everything served. More importantly they serve healthy quantity and with high quality. Be it the owners mother Ambika Amma , the senior attendant lady Jaya , the couple Bipin and Jaya and of course Udaykumar sir are human gems and made our stay that much more pleasant , happy and a memorable one. This place is perfect if you seek nature , tranquillity , great hospitality , culinary delight and quality peace and happiness , all at very reasonable pricing, trust me. I wish the entire team and owners the very best always and seems they are expanding a bit nearby and I will recommend VANAM HOLIDAYS to every traveller visiting Ooty who prefer to stay a bit away from town centre , where it could be too noisy , dusty and crowded. Good Luck to one and All.

United KingdomIts on a gorgeous hillside 20 mins out of Ooty - which is perfect to avoid the traffic and General busy-ness of Ooty. But it means there are very few food options nearby. Great food available from the guesthouse though.
