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 reviewIt is complete value for money, Location is excellent. Rooms are excellent. Staff is friendly and good. Breakfast was not an extensive spread, but there were sufficient items and the cooking was good.
Internet connectivity is what was the negative point for me. If this had been good, my rating would have been 10 on 10. The internet at the hotel was problematic. I had to continuously disconnect and connect. That was the only way i could make it work for me.

1. Breakfast buffet was disappointing and poorly managed, things not made and planned adequately 2. Made value for money lower than expected

Verified reviewThe staff are very friendly, polite, and kind. We bought some vegetables from the market and the employees offered to cook it for us.
The towels have some yellow stains, which they claimed them as “clean”. The ventilator in the bathroom was very noisy.

Verified reviewWe loved everything! Our room was immaculate and comfortable. The breakfast and restaurant food was delicious. The location is great, we were able to walk everywhere. The best thing though are the people who work at the hotel!!! Everyone was extremely helpful and kind. We will always remember the people we met at the hotel. Thank you for the wonderful memories! 💜
That we were unable to stay longer, due to our itinerary.
Thank you so much and hoping to see you again.

Verified reviewEverything! It was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Everything ws new and clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfy I did not want to get out in the morning. It is PERFECTLY located where I could look at the mountains as well as walk 10 mins to a quaint and picturesque square. Lunch and dinner were delicious! The STAFF were AMAZING. So very helpful. ...especially the young man at the front (whose name I wrote but lost! ) I would HIGHLY recommend the Willows Hotel! I will definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewThis is a really good property with an awesome restaurant which serves very tasty food. I am a very frequently traveller and had arrived after a stay at Marriott. I must say this hotel equalled if not bettered Marriott point by point on service promptness and quality. Rooms are very clean and very well maintained. Laundry service is awesome and it didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Very affordable hotel at an excellent location in Thimphu. Special thanks to Lhamo Tshering of the restaurant and all other staff members for taking good care of me during my 10 night stay there.
Laundry pressing could be better.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are so grateful for your kind words and we wish to see you again.
