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...).

IndiaThe front desk staff ladies didn't have much issues. The securities they keep staring at and make us uncomfortable. We chose pool resorts so we entered them as we didn't carry nylon cloth they didn't let us in. They are having a shop inside their resort and they are asking to buy from there and the way they addressed it was very bad the staff and watch man has to be more mannered towards their guests. The watch man told my fiance that wearing shots and getting in is fine after he got in and the other staff came and made him get out of the pool which was too awkward for us. It was quite disappointing. And the pool was only till 7 and we were late and couldn't go in the night so early morning while we went this issue occurred . And they even argued that all these details were already shared to the online booking pages and they were not showing it. And there is no bath tub in any of their rooms. The people who booked from there can use cotton cloth while getting in the pool they have excuses for such things.There is no privacy at all.

IndiaIt is a way overpriced place for the facilities it provides. Our room was pretty basic with very uncomfortable beds which made noise even when you or your partner turned and no sound proofing meant you could hear people making noise outside the room even late in the evening/night. The pool was not good, water treatment was odd ( not chlorine, I guess) leaving a bitter taste in the mouth and stinging eye, etc. There was no TV, no fridge or anything ( not that it was mentioned as a facility while making the booking selection, but when you pay that amount, you expect the basics at least)
Location was the only thing which is nice about this place and yes staffs seems nice as well.

IndiaWe stay on the side with a garden view. During our visit, the fallen leaves and empty dishes are not cleared away.That makes our stay uncomfortable. Due to the restaurant's failure to fulfill our orders, we had to place an order only once and Our order doesn't arrive for over an hour.
The property is in a great position. Clean and cozy accommodations.
