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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

IndiaBreakfast menu was lower than mediocre. We went to this place after 4 yrs thinking they will have improved, but they have decreased the standard and soon to disappear in the competition. Not at all with the price paid for. Restaurant menu is overpriced comparing the quantity. 325 for a vegetable where only 1 adult and child can manage.
Only the sleep quality and climate control of the room. Swimming pool is well maintained because it is shared with a neighbouring hotel. It is not owned alone by Sandalwood.

New ZealandThis resort is quite some distance from the centre of Panjim - so it was expensive going to and fro - but would be fine it you had your own transport. While the cleaners visited daily, it has been quite some time since the walls and cupboard doors have had a good wiping down - and the chromeware in the bathroom looks like it has never been sprayed and wiped over with a cleaning product!
The staff were very friendly and helpful - special mention has to go to Krishna in the Restaurant/Room Service - he was very diligent!

IndiaRestaurant: Breakfast items are limited, could have been improved. I felt the size of restaurant (Sea Breeze) was small. There is no car parking available inside the resort and had to park on the roadside.
Room sizes are big, and it is clean. Room design and style is a highlight which gives a special accommodation experience. Swimming pool is well maintained, good for kids and adults. Vainguinim Beach is just 3 mins walk from the resort, which makes it easy to walk around and enjoy the beach waters.

IndiaThe location being completely isolated, we had to depend on expensive taxi/car transport for reaching out to the nearest locations in the city. There is not a single shop or restaurant at a walkable distance from this hotel.
Breakfast was very nice. Other meals could have been better.

IndiaSwimming pool, Bar, Pool, SPA and Resturant are closed due to hotel split into 2. Food items are limited. Room charges are very High and hotel is not provided any kind of services except food. All rooms are available to stay but in website it's showing 1 or 2 rooms are left.
There is nothing to like in this hotel except rooms.
