Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandNothing - love authentic
Historic, quaint, great staff, authentic original rooms, its real and way better than 5 star - its an experience like no other. You'll get mud on your shorts and bats flying by inside, (not your room) great pool, lovely gardens. River cruise for sunrise just amazing. A huge amount of history right there.

IndiaThere was no fridge in the room which was very inconvenient. I think its a basic facility when you're charging so much, also the room has to be checked before the guests are checking in . Our shower was not working and there was no bucket as well and we had to ask n wait for a long time
Breakfast was good but butter was always hard, not able to spread on bread at all. Maybe it should be a bit soft.

IndiaFood should be either continental or Indian. The fusion was not well made. Also it has so much history. But apart from a few pictures, didn’t feel that they are proud of their history. They should arrange tours, lectures. So many foreign guests come. I am not sure how much history is told to them. Surely we weren’t told anything. We found out from other sources.
The location is exceptional.

IndiaI wish there was anything that I could say I didn't like! Sadly, everything was just too good!
The food served was one of most delicious things I've ever eaten. The location is just spectacular! It's a very quaint and relaxing property where you can hear kids giggling while dipping into Narmada and birds chirping in the lush green covers with in the property!

United KingdomNo alcohol policy in line with the sacred status of Maheshwar. But they allow you to bring your own, and will happily serve it to you.
Location. We stayed during a particularly auspicious weekend, and the ghats were magical. The highlight of a six centre road trip. That said, we had to fly to Indore to access Maheshwar, but well worth the effort. Great feeling of exclusivity. The dining experience rotates around various locations around the fort.
