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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomNowhere to hang towels, no hook in the bathroom or bedroom. When I put towels to dry on a chair, the mould made black marks on it. The 2 chairs in the room smell musky and it made the whole room very smelly. It was the rainy season so everything got damp and unfortunately after staying for 8days all our stuff got mouldy. No bin in the room. The pressure shower was sometimes very weak, and once, we had no water at all from 6 p.m. until the morning. This can be a lovely place to stay, it just needs a few things to improve :)
A big room with a lovely view. A big comfortable bed. The care taker was nice and smiley.

Argentina! Rooms were comfortable and big. The attention of the staff is excellent, always available to help and accommodate. We booked initially for a few days but ended up staying the entire week we were in Mcleodganj. The staircase to get there might be inconvenient for some people but for us it was just fine, only 5 minutes walk up to one of the main roads with cafes and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend the room with the view to the valley, it's stunning!

Czech RepublicIt's a bit hard to find, hidden in dark alleys below the main road. There are many steps down so bear that in mind if you have lot of luggage.
Really amazing view. The host was nice and welcoming. Very quiet for McLeod Ganj! You get away from the busy streets and can enjoy the mountains.

United KingdomWe had no cups/glasses and had to use our own padlock to lock the door, hence the drop of one point (but don’t let this put you off).
The most amazing views from the Mountain View room. It was clean, large, bright and airy. The staff were friendly and helped us to organise our onwards taxi. We did find it a little difficult to find, so a tip for others. The steps are opposite Arabica Bakery and Cafe

ThailandThere's no proper check-in desk, so I sometimes had to search around the hostel a bit to find the staff if I needed to ask something. I can see how this would make some people feel unsafe, but I (solo male traveller) never felt uncomfortable. And, the staff were always very responsive on WhatsApp.
The room was clean and cozy with, as you'd expect, a golden view of upper McLeod Ganj and the mountains beyond. The staircase down to the hostel was not as bad as many people have suggested, considering that the entire city is built on a slope and you'll be climbing up and down hills to get anywhere! It's just part of life here. The room was (mostly) very quiet, with strong and stable wifi and filter water available so I didn't have to keep buying water bottles. I would definitely stay here again.

IrelandNothing, we absolutely loved it
The most valuable thing of the property is the privilege views to the mountains and the valley. We originally booked the room with balcony, which we didn’t realise prior arrival that doesn’t have a view. However, the manager kindly offered us an upgrade to the Mountain View room as soon as it was available, which we absolutely loved, and encouraged us to extend our stay for 3 more nights. They also provide towels, toiletries, and a kettle. Their location is nice and quite away from the crowds and noisy streets, although you might hear some dogs barking in the middle of the night, but that didn’t affected us much. Their location is also perfect in my opinion is you want to stroll around to Dharmakot or to the Dalai Lama temple. The facilities were clean and the staff was always helpful and respectful, we totally recommend this place to anyone. Shower has hot water. Many people complains about the 100 steps down/up from the property to the Main Street, but it is just a small price for the beautiful views and quite area. Maybe for people with big luggage it will be slightly more challenging but I am also sure that the hotel staff would gladly help you if requested.

IndiaWindows not sound proof, i found the barking of stray dog at night uncomfortable. Other review says the stairs to go to the hotel are horrible, and if you have a suitcase it might be, but honestly the whole city is like that (welcome to the mountains) and it takes just one minute to go to the main road
Very nice view, hotel far from the road (thanks to the 100 stairs), confortable bed, very close to the core of McLoed Ganj.
