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 StatesIt was lovely but some of the maintenance details need to be attended to. To be clear, this is not a housekeeping or service issue. This is the property owner’s responsibility. E g there were not enough outlets; bathroom windows and doors needed upgrading; little better lighting. Also, given climate change, I arrived on a hot and humid day. I thought there would be air conditioning but there wasn’t. I think it would be pretty unbearable in the summer months.
It was a charming heritage property and I intentionally booked a room on their heritage side. I was fortunate to come during off season so not too many noisy fellow tourists.

IndiaGood for small groups. Air Condition should be there in suites also.
Cozy heritage property Priyanka on the main desk was very friendly, approachable and responsive. Also gave us valuable recommendations about nearby touristy places. Smriti at the restaurant was very cordial with kids and their food preferences.

IndiaBreakfast was service only, not buffet and service was slow.
Location is little away from the main square in a quiet neighborhood. It has amazing views of the Himalayas all around. The morning view of Kanchenjunga was the best. The rooms are big and spacious, had a colonial feel

IndiaFood. There is variety but not much taste. Tea/Coffee kept in regular vessel and not thermal, hence not very hot. Missed the local food recipes (e.g momo, thukpa, Nepali thalis), and instead it was a regular buffet. Suggest to introduce more local dishes.
Well maintained and nice outdoor. Gentle and supportive staff.

QatarI booked three rooms for ourselves and relatives. One of the room was leaking during rain. The most important aspect is there were frequent power cuts and hotel facilities were not available during such condition. Hotel management must take of alternative power sources.
Well behaved staff, takes care of guest. Given good rooms.

India- Since this is located a bit off the city center, a better equipped games room with a TT table would have been great. It does mention on Booking.com listing that it has a TT table, but on enquiring we were told there was none. - We would hear a lot of noises due to monkeys on the roof ( as it has a wooden roofing) - We found taste of certain items not to our liking - extensive use to Tomato pure ( the Chef informed us his preparation are in the local style )
This is a beautiful heritage property manned by ever helpful staff. The room that we were put in on the 4th floor were a tad smaller ( or felt smaller than they were ) but were functional and all basic amenities in place. The property has spacious common areas on certain floors which offer excellent views. Overall a good value for money.

United StatesWe ended up having dinner at the hotel, it wasn't good. The beans were stringy, mature and overly salted. When I mentioned it wasn't good, there was no offer to replace the item. I ended up not eating it. Our room had no view, just facing the wall of the building in front. The room was cold and drafty, though the space heater helped a bit.
Breakfast buffet was good, several options for vegetarians and others. The location of the hotel itself is quite nice, facing the mountains. There is a lookout room on the top floor with great views.

AustraliaThe breakfasts were ordinary. The dinners were really terrible. There are not other good restaurants nearby. So, unless you’re ready for long hike in a hilly area, you’re very much starved.
The main highlight was the view of Kanchenjunga during clear mornings. This makes the stay worthwhile. The staff were polite and helpful.

IndiaExpected to have a bit more of variations of restaurant foods as it’s a bit from main market area so in-house dining menu should be a bit more elaborate . Next the room amenities need to be a bit more . Else nothing to complain .
The location , the overall heritage mixed with modernity, the staffs are so welcoming and polite , this is a perfect property to relax and spend time with nature …
