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 reviewI loved my stay at Sweven; it was quiet and peaceful. The cherry on top was the cafe and three different places to sit and chill (unlike other hostels that offer only one common room). Here at Sweven, they have a cafe sitting area, a common room separately, and a beautiful terrace. I enjoyed my rainy days at the terrace. Moreover, it is walkable to the nearest spots or public transport. Staff, of course, was really supportive. Loved having dal kichdi at the cafe.

Verified reviewThe property is very well managed. My room was huge, clean. Bathroom - you can dance in it😂 Everything absolutely spotless.
It’s off road property and unfortunately nothing (shop) walking distance. Especially on evening I wouldn’t be comfortable as a solo woman to walk on the street.

Verified reviewThe stay was good and I stayed there for 2 nights. Now comes to the point Breakfast was included during the stay but not provided by the hotel because they have sprayed the pesticide in the kitchen. But on the last day of check out I asked them if breakfast was included or not however I knew that it was included. It shows how irresponsible nowadays the management staff is becoming now if I don't ask them then maybe they won't provide me the breakfast.

I had high aspirations, but my experience was disappointing. The mattress was uncomfortable, and the staff struggled with service. Cleanliness was a concern, particularly with the linens, which required repeated requests to change. Communication was difficult, as phone calls often went unanswered. Finding the location was also a challenge due to its secluded position. Unfortunately, the bathroom had a strong odor and water accumulation on the floor.

Verified reviewMy recent stay at Hotel Sweven was truly enjoyable. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel itself is comfortable and clean, providing a relaxing environment. What truly made my experience exceptional, however, was the outstanding service from the staff. I'd like to specifically commend Sanjay and Sunil for their incredible politeness and helpfulness. They went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, always with a smile and a genuine desire to assist. Whether it was providing local recommendations, assisting with luggage, or simply offering a friendly greeting, their dedication to guest satisfaction was evident. The rooms were well-maintained and the amenities were more than adequate. The overall ambiance of Sweven is peaceful and inviting. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay, especially those who appreciate exceptional service. Thank you, Sweven, and especially Sanjay and Sunil, for making my trip so memorable.
