Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United StatesI think that this is the best hotel and restaurant in Katra. The chef really knows what he’s doing. Our Indian dinners over several nights were superb. Mr. Bisht, the hotel manager, helped us through our travel problems some small, some requiring expert advice with his full attention. His staff was always there for us. The best central location. Thank you Hotel Ambica Katra!

IndiaWe did not get hot water and we had to repeatedly inform to get the issue fixed every time we had a requirement. The bathrooms requires better maintenance.
Nice location, spacious room (we had booked triple occupancy which had two bathrooms), courteous staff at front office, housekeeping and restaurant.

IndiaPerfect Family stay with Kids and Seniors. Property provides all necessary amenities, courteous staff, 24/7 room service , perfect location close to market, Railway station, bus stop,and Yatra start point. Though public transport is mostly auto and riskshaws which are easily available outside the hotel, the hotel provides a pick and drop van facility which makes it convenient for senior citizens. Inside the hotel there is a big lawn at the back side, a huge lobby and sitting areas, and the restaurant where the food was served was amazing. This was our second stay. at this hotel.while visiting Katra for Vaishnodevi Mata Darshan. Highly recommended hotel for staying with family and friends.

For us Hotel Ambica is a home away from home. Food is great, location is perfect. 5 mins from station, 5 mins from helipad and a 5 min walk to the main Katra market. You can’t ask for a better location. Their staff is extremely nice and courteous and they try their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I would specifically like to thank Mr. Karnel Sing and Mr. Baldevraj, both of them ensured that we have a wonderful stay and don’t face any in convenience, as we were traveling with our parents and kids.
