Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United StatesIt would nice to have a newer treadmill and stationary bike in the small gym
The rooms were large and very clean. Virendra was a caring and attentive host who checked in with us frequently. Shibu at the restaurant was friendly and hard-working. Please make sure to tip the staff as you go along. They deserve it! The private desert trip that we arranged through the hotel was a once in a lifetime experience with a camel ride, sunset on the sand dunes and a freshly cooked vegetarian meal served under the stars!

Beautiful Haveli just outside on the main market area We only stayed for a day - didn’t sleep there as had an evening train - but wanted somewhere during the day after camel safari. Our room was spacious and clean and beautifully presented. The staff exceptionally helpful. The even had their driver take us to the station and help us on the train. The menu was good, had some Chinese dishes as well as Indian - made a pleasant change. ( vegetarian menu) We chilled by the pool and enjoyed a good massage in the spa. We were very pleased with our decision to stay here.

AustraliaNothing, it was all amazing.
An incredibly enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Gulaal Hotel with an amazing view of the fort! We were blown away by the beautiful Haveli style architecture and finishings. Our room was spacious, clean, beautifully furnished and had the comfiest bed of our entire stay in India. We had a gorgeous balcony area with a view out to the pool and garden. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed our morning meditation sessions with Virendra. He and Babu were amazing during our stay and organised a driver to take us out to the desert camps. Our driver Gulab was incredible and we would highly recommend staying here and booking any day/multiple day excursions with him. We would book this beautiful accommodation again in a heart beat. The pool, rooftop area, all the staff and food was all just amazing.

Great location and fantastic hospitality, warmth by Virender ji and Babu Ji. Also, entire staff at the restaurant like Shibu, Singh, Biswajit were very helpful. Food preparation is extremely fresh, hot and delicious. Rooms are spacious and super clean. Very safe place and they help to organise autos for local city trips and long distance like longewal with their vehicle and driver Ghulab Singh who is very helpful too. Strongly recommend and will definitely stay again here.

CanadaEverything 😊. It is an outstanding property that is made in the traditional Rajasthani style and perfectly blended with all modern facilities. The rooms are beautiful, very spacious and have a completely traditional decor. The location is excellent with a beautiful view of Jaisalmer Durg ( Fort) from the terrace restaurant. The owner Shri Virender displays authentic Indian hospitality and was ever ready to help out with any extra need we had. The restaurant offers wonderful and delicious food. They have a lovely and perfectly maintained pool and a Spa alongside which offers a fantastic Ayurvedic Massage - We all went for it 😊. I would strongly recommend Gulaal Haveli to everyone who wants the perfect stay in Jaisalmer.

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at The Gulaal, in a spacious suite room, in a stunning, peaceful, and beautifully decorated Haveli, with amazing views of the Jaisalmer Fort and a lovely garden and pool area. The staffing team were very welcoming, helpful and professional. The food was superb, as were our massages, and the laundry service efficient. We would highly recommend The Gulaal, for a bit of peace and luxury in the desert.

United KingdomLocation outside the fort isn't great for everyone but we liked it cos you get those rooftop views. Water pressure is so good it actually hurts!
Staff - so, so helpful. Nothing was a problem. They sorted our laundry, helped us with transport to station for late trains, and even threw in a complimentary breakfast. It was a lovely welcome from the moment we stepped in. The hotel - this is a stunning building; new yet made in the old Haveli style. Rooms are huge and grand, with marble bathrooms and amazing balconies. It really feels the part. The pool area is a highlight and we found it a perfect place to chill after a long morning. The rooftop restaurant has a great view of the fort. The food - we only had breakfast here but it was really nice. Especially the local Chola and the coffee, which was some of the best we've had in India.
