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):
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.
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.).

Very good value for money in a great location in the fort. The building is very atmospheric, and the camel trip they arranged was fantastic. Shiva the owner was very accommodating, meeting us at the bus plus allowing us an early check-in and late check out which we very much appreciated.

IndiaVehicle cannot go to the property after 9 AM till 7 PM, so people have to plan accordingly. However, the hotel staff was friendly, they dropped me on their bike. But carrying luggage on bike was a challenge. The room could have be better maintained.
The location was inside the fort, everything was within the walking distance. The thrill of staying in an very old building , heritage ,but still needs improvement. Excellent Chai. Well courteous staffs.

ItalyA little bit of scarcity of services. No AC in the room at disposal ( only on paid base), no toilet paper, no towel, at a point water was missing because the staff left the premise for 2 days and turn off the pump. The kitchen also is in dire conditions.
The guest house is located directly inside Jaisalmer fortress. Perfect location and ambience. I got an upgraded room for the same price. Highly recommended the safari tour in the desert

I had a very good time at Shiva Guesthouse! The room I had felt like I was in Aladdin Disney movie. The place is comfortable and perfectly located in the center of the fort. Shiva was really nice and made sure I was happy. He suggested me the trip of one night in the desert which has been the best thing I've experienced so far in Rajasthan. Thank you so much Shiva, I hope I can come back again someday!

IndiaThe food - Pancake was pathetic. The hospitality even worse. It looks like a dead place where people are frowning if you stay. And the discrimination on the basis of nationality and gender is evident. May God bless them with wisdom.

South AfricaThe owner, Shiva, goes out of his way to make sure your every need is met. He fetched us from the bus stop, organized our camel safari, took me on a personal tour if the fort, drove us to Bada Bagh and out for lunch. He was truly amazing! The rooms were spacious and delightful. Hot showers. Great food in the rooftop cafe. Overall a fantastic stay. Highly recommended.

United KingdomThe room was cosy to relax in with great A/C, and the guest house is a cute and quirky design. You could really tell that you were staying within the fort which made it a great experience. It was such good value for money as this is definitely one of the most comfortable hotels we have stayed in on our whole tour of India, and certainly the cheapest! We were traveling by bicycle and kept our bikes inside the guest house by the entrance which was no problem :)
