Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

As it’s in the heart of the city the views aren’t great, so I wouldn’t say the balconies could be put to good use. The air con units are also a little loud, but it’s doable for a short time.
We appreciated the location of this hotel as it was near lots of shops and restaurants. As we weren’t here for long we loved the convenience and found it a comfortable stay. The shower was very good.

The Wi-Fi was very slow, making it impossible to work; I had to rely on my own 5G network (though network coverage was good). For the price of ₹4000 per day, I expected a smart TV and faster Wi-Fi, even though it was clear the TVs were non-smart. The bathroom shower was clogged and lacked proper water pressure, which was disappointing. While shower gel, shampoo, and moisturiser were available, the taps were broken and not smooth, which was a significant letdown. Additionally, although we booked a mountain-view room with a balcony, the view was blocked by a building, so the view that could have been spectacular was unfortunately hindered.
The overall cleanliness of the hotel and rooms was impressive. The staff was exceptionally polite—perhaps one of the most courteous teams I’ve come across. The room furniture was good, and amenities like a heater were promptly provided when asked. Breakfast was a highlight, offering a wide range of options such as chole bhature (the best), aloo parathe, and puri bhaji, along with omelettes, fruits, and juices. The dining area was clean and beautifully designed, with polite servers and stunning mountain views of Mussoorie. The rooftop seating area (though the café is permanently closed) provided breathtaking views. Parking was available at no extra cost, and the hotel’s location in the heart of the city was very convenient. Unmarried couples are allowed, which adds to the comfort and inclusivity.

1. The breakfast spread was good but I think the staff there could be a little more responsive. For instance, we ordered paranthas which were piping hot and well made. However, the staff who served didn't bother to ask if we wanted something to go with it. We saw pickle on the buffet table and struggled to get it with one hand holding the plate, but the staff didn't budge to help or offered to serve at our table. 2. The hotel description says lounge on rooftop; so one would assume that you will be served liquor. However, we were told that the hotel can arrange for a bottle but drinks aren't actually served there. We were just looking to have some cocktails, so ordering an entire bottle wasn't our agenda. Hence, we went out for dinner and some drinks. I think the term "lounge" is misleading in this case.
The check in and check out process was quite smooth.
