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 KingdomThe negatives were the room walls were thin and could hear the couple Nextdoor having a domestic. So if possible as for a room with no one next door if possible.
We came here for a three night stay in Shimla and was very pleased we did. The hotel staff were amazing especially Saskhia and Vijay in the restaurant. It was my wife’s bday during our stay and I paid for a bday package for dinner which included a private terrace and room, candlelight, balloons, bday cake and flowers. We also had our private waiter who provided silver service for the food when it came to the table. They went above and beyond for my wife’s bday and I thank all the restaurant staff for their service. The food was Buffett style on other nights and at breakfast which was well made and plenty of it. If we asked for something from the table someone would bring it to you. There was parking outside included at no change and there are electric charging ports also. Reception staff were helpful and treated us with a traditional hat and scarf on arrival which was a nice touch. The spa staff/manager was very helpful and the second lady who did our message was very good. Sorry I can’t remember their name but have included a picture of the manager who also took my calls when he was off duty as I had a time change for one of our treatments and reception put us through to him before he started work which was really helpful. There is a small gym and a small sauna and steam room separate for men and women. Although we booked a couples package and as it was quite they let us use one of the facilities together. The driver we had booked for the week from Phagwara Punjab also commented that this was a very good hotel. Kufri was about 30mins away and Mall Rd was about 20-30 mins away. We preferred this as we weren’t right in the middle of the hussle and bustle. We had great views from our room and from the roof as you can see in my pics attached.

What all I really liked were - The friendliness and efficiency of the staff The breakfast buffet The views of the hills The terrace with the restaurant on the 4th floor The eco friendly approach of the hotel The size of the rooms

AustraliaBreakfast buffet was limited , however it was amazingly awesome and delicious food with great texture. There was little to minimal toilet tissue in the toilet.
Food was amazing. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Facilities were great. Views were great. Staff upgraded to a better room complimentary. Never heard a ‘No’ from any staff member. Staff were guiding us for planning the day. Staff were local to the area. Staff treated my youngest one with great hospitality. Kitchen head Chef came to greet us and seek feedback about the food.

IndiaOur stay was very nice at the Orchid Hotel. All staff members were really helpful. Overall service was very good and attentive all the time. My special thanks to Rupesh, Sheetal, Manoj, Mukesh, Aarti, Rishikesh, Dilip. Also to Nikita who showed a very caring hospitality to check whether we have received transport service or not. Though the hotel was bit far from the main city, but the hospitality was very good and I appreciate their concern and nice hospitality. Thank you so much.
