How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewAs expected for a homestay. Ali & his family were the most welcoming hosts, very attentive and always available to help with any questions or suggestions for places to eat or tourist spots. Like to chat during breakfast etc which is nice. They have a friend who is a tuk tuk driver who can take you most places too. Room was spacious, clean & comfortable. Location great, not far from the tourist sites & you can walk to shops/restaurants also.
You don't always have to use their tuk tuk service etc - so don't feel pushed into using it if you would prefer to walk etc, they are happy enough regardless.

Verified reviewAlibaba's Homestay feels like a home away from home. It is a beautiful spacious house with many plants and a charming roof terrace. Everybody made us feel very welcome. Even when one of us wasn't feeling well or we had to leave very early to catch the train Mr. Alibaba was very supportive. We followed his suggestion and he arranged us a great guided tour to Agra Fort and Taj Mahal. Thank you for everything!

Verified reviewBeyond its immaculate rooms, top-notch service, and a terrace that’s nothing short of breathtaking, what truly sets this homestay apart is the warmth and hospitality of its owners. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine kindness and a level of care that made us feel right at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable and memorable as possible. Next time I’m in Agra, it may not be for the Taj Mahal—but for the sheer joy of unwinding and recharging at this incredible place. If you’re planning a visit to Agra, do yourself a favor and don’t miss out on this hidden gem. It easily outshines many of the city’s 5-star hotels—offering a far more personal, peaceful, and affordable experience.

Verified reviewWe stayed at this place for three nights as a family, and unlike most places in India where cleanliness is not a priority, Alibaba's hotel was incredibly clean. We were amazed by the beauty of this lovely space. Most importantly, the owner of the hotel is a great person and treats his guests very professionally. All the facilities were excellent, and we truly enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this place to others!

Verified reviewThe hosts were great but staff doing the job could be better trained. The place was clean but the location was a bit away from main road and next to open smelly canal. The host was quite jolly and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and helped with transport which was very nice.
staff serving breakfast could be cleaner and more professional
