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 reviewAbsolutely brilliant stay at The Citadel. Right from the time I was in touch with Waseem ji regarding my booking. It's been a pleasure to have chosen to stay here. He has been accommodative and flexible about my travel dates and more than obliging regarding everything that hit us due to the unpleasant circumstances that we were faced with recently. He gave me the comfort of flexibility to reschedule or cancel or just stay on and was always reachable. Not to forget Hameed bhai and Sajjad who made my stay more than comfortable and were always willing to look into every aspect of my stay. Not to mention the beautiful property with a name that couldn't be more apt and befitting - The Citadel. Highly, highly recommended if u want to stay in a gorgeously maintained property that looks like a castle and experience "Mehmaan Nawaazi" in its truest sense. Don't forget to smell the insane number of roses on each of the many rose plants around the garden.
Loved everything. Couldn't have chosen better. Would love to be back someday. 🙏

Verified reviewPros: 1. Beautiful property. The exterior and the interior are well designed and aesthetic. 2. The rooms are good and clean. 3. They have a washing machine that we were allowed to use. Cons: 1. The cook Mr. Abdul was kind of not cool. He was cooperative mostly. He did cook and pack meals for our baby but this one time he refused to cook a khichdi for our one year old. 2. The location is hard to reach. The road is narrow.

Verified reviewThe property is beautiful and has a nice lawn. The staff is super friendly and consists of a good chef. The rooms are quite big.
There is a peculiar smell when you enter the room. You should cordon off the 2nd floor, as I did not find it safe for kids. My daughter went there by mistake, and I was shocked it was used as a store room, whereas it could be turned into a game zone or something useful. The mattress can be slightly better as you can feel the bed frame when you lie down. Maybe a kettle + glasses in the rooms can be useful.
