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 reviewThe hotel's location is beautiful, the views are breathtaking from the poolside side especially. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only issue I had was that the road leading to the hotel was in poor condition. But I would definitely recommend the property. It was worth the price.

Verified reviewBeautiful property with great views and the amazing TAJ hospitality. They called us three times to check what time we would be landing at the airport, to help us with route guidance and just to check if everything was ok. Right from the time you check in till the time you check out, they take care of your every requirement with a smile. The rooms are spacious and elegantly done and the balcony is perfect to enjoy your morning coffee while listening to birdsong. It was our anniversary the day we checked in and they had decorated the room with balloons and kept a delicious cake for us as well. Food here is absolutely DELICIOUS and everything is served with a warm smile. Special shoutout to Dipesh at Mynt who is so friendly and charming, and who was always helpful with recommendations, whether it was food or places to visit. It felt like he truly believes that “Atithi devo bhavah” and makes all guests feel so special and cared for. Mingma is another lady who deserves special mention.
Reaching this property is a literal pain in the a** because of the terrible, terrible roads (Sikkim faced landslides and flooding during the monsoons which has destroyed large parts of the roads). There are certain stretches where the car can’t go beyond 5-7kmph and this nearly doubles all your travel time. Not the property’s fault of course, but it leaves you exhausted so you can’t really enjoy the sunset views from the lawns or splash in the pool. There is nothing around the property so anywhere you want to go, you have to undergo a back-breaking , arduous car journey over horrendous roads. Hope the Sikkim government gets the roads in good condition soon. Also, the swimming pool is temperature controlled but is also an outdoor pool which kind of defeats the purpose of controlling the temperature, especially in winter since the water remains pretty cold. It would be nice if the hotel had a games room with table tennis, snooker etc for older kids. They do have carrom, board games and books in the reception but a proper games room would be nice to have.

Verified reviewThe hotel was very clean and comfortable and the service from our check in, throughout our stay till our departure was excellent. The food and service at the restaurant was great as well! Some of the best Indian food we had on our trip. There was a performance by a local singer that night we stayed and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hotel a bit on pricier side but well worth it in my opinion. Not very close to Gangtok/other shops but we chose it for the privacy and quiet so this did not bother us.

Verified reviewIt was wonderful. The beautiful, quiet location really suited us and the stylish contemporary decoration - made it really comfortable. All the facilities were great. Due to the Northern areas of Sikkim being closed we ended up spending 9 nights here in total and enjoyed the pool, the wonderful treatments from Pubyang in the Spa, the dining end evening entertainment in between our excursions. So many fantastic staff, starting with Kishan the duty manager who I spoke to from the UK. He reassured me that their tour guide could handle the pick up from Bagdogra and arrange a driver for all our planned locations. Their in-house tour manager, Sangay Sherpa was amazing, super efficient and took care of all of our transportation needs. He hired the fabulous Praveen Subba who drove us the entire trip, sharing his extensive knowledge and ensuring that as two women travellers we felt completely safe at all times. He’s a star! So many other wonderful staff especially Mingma who prepared the traditional Sikkimese breakfast for us most mornings and Veronica one of the reception managers. The whole team strove to make sure our experience was the best it could be. We very much hope to return.
Not a negative for us at all - but important to be aware that the hotel is about 50 minutes from Gangtok - so not somewhere that’s easy to pop to.
