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 reviewThank you so much for the warm welcome and heartfelt hospitality! Our stay exceeded all expectations. The house is located in the heart of the city: main attractions, cozy cafés, and museums are all within walking distance. The breakfasts were especially memorable—gathered around the shared table, we not only enjoyed delicious meals but also chatted with the hosts. These conversations over a cup of fragrant coffee, sharing stories and plans for the day, gave us a sense of genuine family warmth. A special thank you for helping organize our trip to Kasuali! Thanks to your recommendations, we discovered picturesque spots we likely would have missed on our own. The place is truly magical—the mountain vistas and serene atmosphere captivated us from the first moment. The hosts were always reachable: any questions were resolved instantly, and their advice on walks and routes made our stay even more comfortable. Here, you feel not just like a guest, but a cherished friend who had been awaited for years. We wholeheartedly recommend this house to anyone seeking the perfect balance of comfort, hospitality, and a prime location! We will definitely return—these are memories worth reliving again and again.

It was our pleasure to have you, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming you back whenever your travels bring you this way again. We'll be here, ready to share more stories and fragrant coffee!

Verified reviewWe liked the warm hospitality of the host and family members. They made us feel so much at home and even went out of their way to show us the way to the local shopping area. The breakfast was excellent. The best part of our stay that we felt was the conversations we had about life, culture, and civilisation. The place is absolutely clean and hygienic. Our stay was worth every cent spent.

Verified reviewI stayed here twice, before and after a trip to the Himalayas. It was a true gift for a weary traveler. The home is set in a lovely, safe neighborhood. The Hosts, Rami and Kanwal are marvelous people. They are both semi retired professionals, well traveled and interesting conversationalists. Plus, they helped me with the ATM, esim card, ideas to explore in Chandigarh and even how to use Uber to hire a driver for several hours to take me sightseeing in town. There is as much privacy and independence as one would like. I truly valued the time I spent talking with Rami and Kanwal. And the food was delicious! Breakfast is included but it is possible to request lunch and dinner as well.
Not a thing.

Verified reviewI have mixed feelings about this accommodation. On the positive side: - I was able to check in much earlier, at 08:00, which was great after a long journey with bad flight connections. - The host kindly washed some clothes for me at no extra charge. - The location is excellent, situated in a posh neighborhood and only 15 minutes away from Sector 17, a district with various shops. - The host made an effort to engage in conversations. - The room, bathroom and house were super clean. - They lent me a charger cable for my phone, which was very helpful.
One of the main reasons I booked this accommodation was the promise of breakfast. I was excited to experience breakfast in an Indian home, but it turned out to be disappointing. The host asks you the day before what you want for breakfast, but this approach is not ideal since you have no idea what's available. She suggested a type of flatbread with potatoes, and that's exactly what was served, with nothing else. The listing on Booking.com described the breakfast as "unique," so I expected more options to be offered, even if I didn't specifically request them. While I understand this isn't a hotel, more effort could be made with breakfast to enhance the overall experience. The room and bathroom are old, though not necessarily bad. However, for a place labeled "Luxurious," it doesn't quite live up to the name. During my stay, I had a very disturbing experience. The property employs several servants for chores. One morning, I encountered a cleaner eating food on the kitchen floor beside the dog food, even though the table was empty. This was heartbreaking for me and made me feel really bad. I understand that having servants is part of Indian culture in some homes, but it was upsetting to see someone treated this way. When I asked the host about the cleaner's name, she didn't respond. I inquired why he was eating on the floor, and she said it was because he had dirty clothes. I didn't pursue the conversation further as that explanation was enough. If you are concerned about supporting this kind of treatment of people, I wouldn't recommend staying here.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the early check-in, cleanliness, location, and our efforts to make your stay more comfortable. Regarding breakfast, we want to clarify that we offered a variety of options, including bread and eggs, potato-stuffed paratha, coffee/tea, and yogurt. This is what we generally provide to our guests, and we’re sorry if this did not align with your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll use it to enhance the guest experience going forward. Concerning the room and bathroom, we appreciate your comments. We understand the importance of matching expectations with the descriptions, and we’ll carefully review our listing to ensure it better reflects what we offer. As for the situation with our helper, we’d like to offer some cultural context. In many Indian households, it is common for people to sit on the floor to eat or have tea as part of tradition and personal comfort. We understand this may have felt unusual to you, but it is a natural practice in some families. We value all members of our team and strive to maintain a respectful environment. Thank you again for your feedback. While we regret that your stay was not entirely as you hoped, we appreciate the opportunity to learn and improve. We hope the rest of your journey was pleasant and enriching. Safe travels,

Verified reviewThe location and the room was really clean, and it has all the necessary equipments to use during the day. They helped us check in early in the morning so it was a plus. They let us hang our clothes to the balcony and the host's maid kindly picked them as well. The lady was into chit chat and it was kind for her to do so. As the location is close to the center it was easy to go to section 17 where many restaurants are as well. The lady kindly informed us about the places to go and good restaurants. During the last day, they allow us to leave our luggages for a few hours and use the washroom one more time before we leave the city.
We have stayed in 5 other cities in India until now including homestays as well but the breakfast was at best average with only some bread with potato in it. When we asked for a regular tea, the owner lady told us to make it in our room. So I went back and boiled some water to prepare my own tea. I think for a stay well over budget and considered luxury there should be something more. Also regarding going back to the house, one of the owners text messaged me with (!) exclamation marks asking when we will return. With no prior information given to us, when we returned around 21.45 the lady was waiting for us with frowning eyes and and unpleasant look on her face. Another point is that the lady was looking inside the room whenever I opened the room as if we were doing sth bad inside which was clearly disturbing. As the most expensive place we have stayed in all India, the quality was good for the cleanliness and the location but apart from that we are clearly dissatisfied with the lack of hospitality. Out of courtesy, we have been provided much more help and assistance including a really welcoming atmosphere and a good quality breakfast in many other places, including pick ups, or dropping or satisfying food etc. All in all, I would not recommend this place to anyone as long as they dont necessarily want to be in sector 18 yet felt unwelcomed in various manners.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your comment and review. We are concerned that our hospitality did not meet your expectations. Please note that our establishment is a Homestay, not a hotel. Here, guests have the opportunity to stay with our family and engage with us. While guests are free to come and go at any time, we kindly request advance notice for late-night arrivals to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. Unlike hotels, we do not offer pickup or drop-off services, but we always provide our guests with the best and most economical travel advice for the city. If I recall correctly, we promptly responded to your inquiry about the nearest drop-off point. Regarding breakfast, we provided what you requested—potato-stuffed Indian paranthas. Additionally, tea, coffee, mineral water, and some biscuits were available in your room at no extra charge. We also offered you the option to order bread and eggs, but you preferred the Indian breakfast. We respect your feedback and wish you the best for the rest of your journey.

The brand name of the place is misleading. There is nothing 'luxurious' about it. It's just a decent homestay room next to the kitchen. No more no less. Breakfast was not great.
