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 food was especially good and the sole reason we opted to stay there again
"Subject: Unacceptable Experience at [Property Name] - Prepayment and Rate Discrepancy Dear Ms.Lee I'm writing to express my disappointment and frustration with my recent stay at [Property Name], booked through your portal. Despite being a loyal customer for many years, I faced unacceptable treatment upon arrival. The property demanded 100% payment before checking in, despite my prepayment of ₹25,000 online. The front desk refused room access until full payment was made, leaving me feeling humiliated and treated like a defaulter. Further investigation revealed a significant rate discrepancy. Rooms in the same category were available for the same date at 45% lower rates. This discovery compounded my feelings of being cheated. I request your intervention to address these concerns: 1. Clarification on prepayment policies 2. Explanation for rate disparity 3. Compensation for the difference in rates 4. Assurance of improved customer treatment I hope for a prompt resolution and look forward to your response. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely,
Dear Mr. Divyesh, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the quality of our food during your stay. We’d like to clarify a few points regarding your experience. As part of our hotel policy, we request 100% of the room tariff in advance, a requirement that was communicated prior to your arrival. Additionally, our rates are based on dynamic pricing, which adjusts according to occupancy to ensure optimal rates for all guests. To enhance your stay, we were happy to provide a complimentary dinner as well as tea, coffee, and cookies for each night of your three-night stay. Additionally, as a token of our appreciation for your positive comments on our food, we extended an additional discount on our à la carte menu. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for an even more enjoyable experience in the future. Kindest Regards, Sayel Mandal
