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 reviewThe staff was very nice.
We arrived at the hotel and were shocked to discover that there are 2 huge construction sites next to the hotel, one in front and one behind it. Meaning, for 8 am to 12 pm the sound of drilling. After midnight, the hammering continues till around 2 am. The rooms are not acoustically isolated and it feels as if the construction workers are hammering the room next door. The noise was so loud, you can barely talk without shouting. And, of course, also not able to use the balcony or let any light in the room by opening the curtains unless you enjoy having 40 men staring at you, as if they had never seen a single woman in their lives. There was no hot water or any kind of amenities in the room (tee, coffee) and the water would come and go, meaning it just stopped in the meaning of the ice cold shower while you are covered in soap. And, even though it states clearly on booking that payment with mastercard or visa is possible, they only accepted cash.
Namastey Patito! Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We understand the frustration with the construction noise and the lack of sound isolation in the rooms. We apologize for any discomfort this caused and the disruption it brought to your stay. We are also sorry for the issues with hot water and the lack of in-room amenities, as well as any inconvenience with payment options. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we will be addressing these issues to make future stays more comfortable for our guests. Thank you for your patience and for highlighting our staff's friendliness—we appreciate your insights and hope to have the chance to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Warm Regards The Shivaay Team 🙏

Verified reviewThis is a newly renovated Hotel. My stay experience was very nice, Staff is very co-operative, they are very helpful, have guided us so well about Rishikesh, have arranged Cabs and scooty in competitive prices. Specially the owner Mr. Negi, He is very humble person. Rooms are very neat and clean. Have Balconies in front and lobby at the back, Hotel has proper ventilation. Restaurant offers tasty food, I liked tomato soup & Pizza. Location is at prime tourist point, Laxman Jhula is very near and For Ram Jhula and Triveni Ghat one can hire Auto nearby, Cafe's are near by. I would definitely recommend this Hotel.
