Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Nice monument converted to a beautiful museum with lots of insight about our legendary freedom fighters.

    Very green park with small water body and garden with benches to sit and relax.

    We visited during the day though it must look even better with lights in the evening.

    Overall a good place to visit in kolkata

    The Howrah bridge is a very impressive structure. It looks majestic especially during dusk as we see the reflection on the river Hooghly.

    We visited as part of a wider day tour of Kolkatta. It is certainly a very humbling experience seeing where the great lady lived and worked. Definitely worth a visit if you are in town.

    Eco Tourism Park is the best place to hang out with friends, family, or even solo. It has a beautiful water body, lots of greenery, and plenty of activities like cycling, toy train and boat rides.

    There are many great eateries here, including Dhamsa Tribal Restaurant for traditional Santali food, and other restaurants offering India, Chinese and Mughlai cuisine. You can also explore the Japanese Forest within the park.

    One highlight is Cafe Ekante, located on an island, which serves delicious Chinese and Indian food. The park also offers accommodations with lake views.

    This is Kolkata's most posh mall. It has good brands and good restaurants. The food court is always very busy. Their movie theater is good too. I frequent this mall due to its quality.
