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 reviewIt's a good hotel with decent facilities. Hot and cold AC was working well and hot water was available round the clock. Hotel canteen was also good. Toilet was very clean and bed was also very clean.
It could have been clean, particularly the bed area. Lot of dust on the floor and corners. There is no MAT outside the bathroom. It's location is also a bit problematic if you want to rely on walking. About 2.5 kilometres steep climb is needed to get to the hotel. However, auto drivers know the location very well. It costs Rs. 250 from mall road.

Verified reviewSuper nice personnel, quickly reacting to solve problems. Beautiful views from the balcony. Clean and tidy room and bathroom. The room was spacious and very well equipped.
The only problem may be the location, far from city centre, with a rugged road. It can get pricy to get there.

Verified reviewMost terrible thing is not getting the breakfast when 2 families of my friends who also checked in with doing the same booking from booking.com got included breakfast and the members in their family was also more than my family member. Whereas I was not allowed , this is as the most of embracing when they paid only Rs 1000 for 4 days and I was told to pay itemwise. I told them I will also pay Rs 1000 please include my room for the breakfast but no one listened. Very bad experience never had in any hotel. Member of family with 4 paid less than member with family 3. Something really wrong.
It is a standard with good hotels to have breakfast included , we were three families totally 10 people. Two families got breakfast included and my family of three didn’t got breakfast included. I requested that I have also done similar booking from booking.com and as not allowed the breakfast. Not a good customer centric hotel, why I will book again.

Verified reviewThe room is clean and spacious. The view from the balcony is amazing. The kettle in the room very helpful.
I always look for a property with wifi. In this property wifi was listed in facilities but it did not work. I complained and was promised that it will be fixed, but it was not fixes during our entire stay. The hotel is located a bit far away from the old and new city. The road to the hotel is extremely steep. Guest should be aware on that. The location and the name of the hotel in Booking.com is different from the real name and location. It was hard to find it. Even taxi driver was confusedץ
