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 reviewStaff was super friendly and good at their job, did what they could to make us comfortable! The restaurant serves excellent meals, breakfast is top. Crew, Dika for example, does a great job there. Everywhere you go in the lobby, at the pool or in the restaurant, they’ll bring you a nice bottle of filtered water! Often they served something extra, such as nice bruschetta with a drink at the pool! Or a peanut salad as an appetiser. Great! Special note for the jungle guide Rajendra Chauchary and colleagues: super experience with the jungle walk, canoo tour and jeep ride, spotted so many birds, deer and rhinos… Very knowledgeable, affordable and friendly. We can really recommend him and his colleague!
Just a suggestion to create some more shade at and in the pool. Just some large plants around the pool for example.

Verified reviewExcellent hotel. Staff was absolutely amazing and the food was delicious! We are there twice a day and everything we had was amazing. The service was impeccable. Rooms were comfortable and clean. They had a tour desk in the hotel, where you could book activities. We didn’t get to use the garden much because it the weather while we were there, but it looked gorgeous.
The quality of the construction work on the building is letting them down a bit. It looks a bit badly done a few places.

Verified reviewThis was a lovely, quiet clean hotel to rest in after our day of safari. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and communicated well with us about our pick up when our flight was delayed. Bed was comfy. Buffet breakfast had good variety and the coffee was good. We ate one evening at the hotel and were impressed with food options and quality.

The hotel is located on just 10-15 min walking distance from the touristic center of Sauraha. They offer a convenient and free shuttle services from and to the main touristic bus stops connecting Chitwan to other touristic hubs in Nepal. The hotel offers facilities such as a swimming pool, garden bar, a gym, table tennis and badminton for guests to enjoy. We enjoyed the breakfast service. Price/quality ratio is excellent, we highly recommend this place to discover beautiful Chitwan National Park!

Verified reviewThe hotel was all that we were looking for after trekking multiple days in the Himalaya. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The restaurant offered formidable dishes, particularly Nepali and Indian. The staff were always kind and helpful. We were happy that all activities in the NP could be booked directly in the hotel on short notice.

Verified reviewAmazing hotel, and totally worth the price - had the loveliest big room with a balcony on one of the top floors, nice design, everything comfy, clean and as advertised. Not many other guests when I was staying over, so felt very private. Staff were great, very attentive but not overbearing. Pretty landscaped grounds. Great breakfast. Airport transfer was also included. Hotel has their own guide who can help with various excursions / lead you on the walks, etc.

Verified reviewAn amazing place. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you - from the staff at reception, the staff in the restaurant, the cleaning staff and the pick up and drop off at the airport. We had a fantastic time with Raj our guide - full day jeep safari, river canoe and walk. Raj is very knowledgeable and experienced. I would definitely recommend staying at Hotel Aikawa and hiring Raj as your guide.
