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 reviewA big room with a lovely view. A big comfortable bed. The care taker was nice and smiley.
Nowhere 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 :)

Verified reviewAkshay was very helpful
The room was dirty, very damp, the blankets on the bed where not clean, it was very overpriced, the area was not clean. Akshay was the only good thing about this guest house. The photos online do not represent the rooms. The bins where filthy, walls covered in mold.

Verified review! 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!

Verified reviewIt's in a good location, not too far from cafes & the Dalai Lama Temple Complex. Great views from the room of the Himslayan hills. Very quiet at night.
The steep steps going down to get there, but you get used to them.

Verified reviewWe had a lovely 10 day stay at Golden View BnB. Akshay was very hospitable, and we had everything we needed. A kettle was a nice touch to make tea. The place is down some stairs and off the main road which makes it much more peaceful and quiet. The view from the balcony is stunning. It’s in a convenient location in the centre of Mcleodganj. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!
Be careful of the monkeys with food in your room!

Verified reviewThe rooms are beautiful with painting and dekoration. You have a balkony for your own and a really nice view to the Mountains. The bed is very comfortable. There is a roofterasse where you can do yoga. The shower has warm water if you switch on the Boiler in the bathroom 10min before showering.
It would be nice if there is a smal lamp to read, next to the bed.

Verified reviewThe view is fabulous. The blankets were colourful and warm. The staff were very accommodating and helpful.
There are a lot of steps so something to take into consideration if you have luggage. Although, the staff helped me which was really kind.

Verified reviewReally 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.
It'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.

Verified reviewThe 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
We 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).
