Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Not sure if it was maintenance, the constant knocking on the level above woke me up at 6:30am on second morning - very unpleasant. Very limited live counter and heavy on South Indian dishes.
Check-in and first night stay was good. Gym was ok with limited equipments. Breakfast was good, should have been better if they'd range of choice to choose from.

Our window looked onto a concrete wall about 1m away, not the nicest..The top floor restaurant was closed for renovations, which was a shame. Would have been nice to have somewhere in the hotel to go and relax that's not your room. Breakfast was ok, hard to get a nice cup of tea. Southern Star Mysore is quite a bit nicer in the hotel facilities, rooms are similar.
This was a comfy hotel in a nice area of Bangalore. Staff were super nice and the bed was comfy.

There was some kind of Maintenance going on on the first day and there was a constant drilling sound all morning. We should've been informed about this in advance but weren't. The front desk, however, was kind enough to upgrade us to a suite on a different floor which was much larger, nice and quiet.
Excellent Location close to the downtown core. Very close to the UB City Mall and lots of restaurants, cafe's and bars within a 5 to 10 min walk. The Hotel was reasonably clean and everything was as expected from a Hotel in this price range and star rating. The breakfast spread was tasty with enough options. There are two restaurants in the Hotel - Zest and Rice Bowl, which are both very good. The best thing about the Hotel is its location. Bangalore traffic can be chaotic and can sometimes take very long to cover just a few kilometers. Staying in this part of town reduces travel distance to any part of the city and saves up a ton of time for other activities.
