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...).

The facilities were just bare minimum. Since the booking was done with discounts, the hotel personnel were indifferent and allotted an untidy rooms in the second floor. I had made additional requests for a ground floor room due to my surgery which was not fulfilled.

Used Linen was provided, traces of earlier marks all over Bed sheets and pillows were seen. Floor was not cleaned properly. Bathroom had no mesh, Pigeons were sitting on the window shelf with no mesh outside. No Toiletry was provided except 1 small soap, no slippers. The manager behaved very rudely, though the other staff behaved decently, the first room slloted could not br opened after I checked in and kept my luggage inside. It could b unlocked after 30 min. THE PHOTOS OF ROOM DISPLAYED ONLINE ON BOOKING.COM WERE NOT NEAR TO WHAT FILTHY ROOMS WAS OFFERED. I BOOKED SINGLE BED ROOM BUT AFTER SEEING THE SIZE OF ROOM (THAT OF A WASHROOM TO BE PRECISE) AND FILTH, I ASKED FOR A DOUBLE BED ROOM.

- • Solo traveler
- • Budget Single Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Pricing Discrepancy: The hotel receptionist demanded more money than what was listed on Booking.com. The total room rent was approximately ₹585, with an additional ₹70 for tax, but they insisted on an extra ₹250, claiming it was their tax value. Rude Behavior: The receptionist displayed rude and arrogant behavior, making the check-in experience uncomfortable. Harsh Treatment of Guests: I observed the receptionist treating other guests harshly as well, which was concerning and unprofessional. Lack of Transparency: The discrepancy in pricing and the receptionist's unwillingness to honor the listed rates were disappointing. Overall, these issues significantly impacted my experience, leading me to choose not to check in.
I had a disappointing experience at Hotel Joyce, which I booked through Booking.com. The receptionist demanded more money than what was shown on the website. According to Booking.com, the total room rent was approximately ₹585, plus ₹70 in tax. However, the receptionist insisted on an additional ₹250, claiming it was their tax value. As a result, I chose not to check in. Additionally, the receptionist displayed rude and arrogant behavior, which was concerning. I also witnessed them treating other guests harshly. I strongly recommend reconsidering the listing of Hotel Joyce on Booking.com to prevent future guests from having similar experiences. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
