Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

IndiaLittle difficult to find the location as it is located in some gully.
Nice place and near to the heart of the city. As it was a new property it was cleanly maintained.

IndiaBeing an passionate traveler, one of the key things we look for in dormitories is privacy, cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere. Among the many dormitory stays I've had, Hostel Kurukku Sandhu stood out as the best. The environment was serene, located in a peaceful area in the heart of the city. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained. The staff members were incredibly friendly, offering great recommendations for exploring the Heritage Town. The rooms were spacious, with comfortable beds perfect for weary travelers who enjoy long walks. The delicious South Indian cuisine served there was an added bonus. For fellow travelers seeking affordable accommodation with a positive ambiance and a touch of class, I wholeheartedly recommend HOSTEL KURUKKUSANDHU...!

IndiaI think it is not justified for me to complain, but I think the water used for the bathing purposes could be softened up and I think that would complete the experience a whole lot better, even if offered premium at what it is priced at. But I also understand the water facilities being present in that part of the city with 24 hours access(to hot or otherwise) is a plus in itself.
Good tourist centric location. The place is pretty new and is yet fully packed(thanks to its optimal pricing). The staff(Raghu) is friendly and I met the owner of the place and he has a lot of plans for the place. I like that he is patient when dealing at the customers. Overal it is good place to dock you luggage and roam around the tourist location nearby. The property knows what they are offering and they are very direct about it and I like it. I would say at the price point with facilites(Air Conditioner, hot water, parking(2W)) it is a steal deal.

IndiaThe Place still needs to maintain a lot. First, i booked for 420 including taxes from Booking.com, but the Property asked for 500, which i didn't like. Then, there can small improvements for cleanliness for lobby area outside room and washroom. Instead of Soap, Handwash needs to be there on Wash Basin. Bedsheets needs to be changed before giving a guest the Bed.
So, the place is still new. So, the vibes of a Hostel are not there. The Caretaker, Pratap, is a young guy himself, who helps in any way he can. The Rooms were big and Air Conditioner was working good.

United KingdomRoom full of mosquitos. 1 plug to serve 6 beds in the dormitory. Staff member coming in and out of the dormitory from 5am onwards cleaning, talking loudly waking up the guests. Owner coming in to dormitory to wake you up at 7am to ask if you are checking out or staying on, despite checkout not been until 10am. Staff hovering over you as you pack in the run up to check out time, literally standing watching you as you pack your things and walking you out the door at 9:59am, then had the cheek to ask for a tip. 1st hostel in the world that will not hold your bag/luggage for a few hours when you have a later transport time. Very unprofessional, seems like owner is only interested in making easy money instead of providing a hostel envioronment.

IndiaStarting from booking. Everything is a mess at this place. No parking at all. Not even 2 wheelers can be parked. But the mentioned parking is available. Before reaching location I called him to check again if pets are allowed. He said yes. Once payment is done he flipped completely. Saying pets are to be tied outside only. Only one power socket for one room of 8 people. Zero cleanliness. Ants occupy your bed before you. The owner or the manager doesn’t treat you with respect. Very confined common space. If you want to book even after reading this review. Pls call and ask for more images and videos. Thanks
I didn’t like anything about the property.
