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.).

IndiaMy recent stay at Taj Fort Aguada was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me with unforgettable memories of luxury and relaxation. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the Arabian Sea. The ambiance of the resort, nestled within the historic walls of the fort, exuded a sense of tranquility and grandeur. The accommodations were lavish and meticulously appointed, offering every modern convenience while retaining the charm of the fort's heritage. The spacious rooms provided stunning views of the sea or the lush gardens, allowing me to unwind in absolute comfort. What truly set Taj Fort Aguada apart, however, was the impeccable service. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was memorable, attending to every request with professionalism and genuine warmth. Taj Fort Aguada exceeded my expectations in every way. It is a true oasis of luxury and tranquility, perfect for those seeking an unforgettable escape. I cannot wait to return and experience its magic once again.

United StatesPerhaps this is an American thing, but we don't like to be called on the phone or have someone ring our doorbell multiple times to see if everything is okay. If something's amiss, we'll report it. Thank goodness for "do not disturb" buttons. If you take naps or go to bed early, it's nice not to be interrupted. Really, everything was great.
The sea view was unbelievably beautiful, as was the garden setting. We also liked the privacy of the cottage and its decor. It was fun to explore both Taj properties and eat in various restaurants. Our favorite was the Banyan Tree, and we were pleasantly surprised with the variety at Caravela in the early evening. We are glad we chose the Fort Aguada Taj because it felt more intimate and because we didn't like the alcohol bar mentality at the Holiday Village pool. Kudos to Kailash in housekeeping and Aarushi at the breakfast buffet. We decided halfway through our stay that we didn't want to take any more tours. Why leave the fabulous Taj Fort Aguada resort when it was the best part of our vacation?

LithuaniaNothing at all. The only small feedback I would have is that guests who come into the property should themselves be more careful and conscientious. We sometimes saw cigarette buds at odd places, even though they are very clearly marked smoking zones. This is not a fault of the people of the hotel, but lack of civic sense from some of the guests. It's impossible for the hotel to administer 70 acres of their hotel properties to ensure what is expected already from the people who come there.
Just about everything in our holiday was incredible. The beautiful views from the resort, the ability of our kids to play freely across two properties, and the unbelievable pampering we received from the staff from the staff. By the end, we just didn't want to leave, even though we had been there 8 days. Some of the absolute gems of the staff I'd like to highlight - Avila from the Caravela restaurant. She pampered our kids no end, was one of the sweetest people we've ever met. Abigail, Jesyl and Abhirami from the reception- they were so helpful always. Also fussing over us. Sanjeev and Sahoo from the pool across both the properties. Very caring and careful about the kids in the pool. Gurvinder - the fnb manager. really went out of his way to give us great coffee. Chef Ashutosh from Kokum, and the chef at Caravela- went out of their ways to give us some things which were not on the menu.

United KingdomThe wi-fi in our room was a flakey but this was our only niggle and not a major issue!
Set in a stunning location, lovely hotel, simply amazing staff, excellent shuttle facilities between the nearby sister resort. The pool staff were very very attentive, moving the parasols whenever you wanted shade and keeping us hydrated with regular bottles of cold water. Great secure access to the nearby beach, bars etc and the food was consistently excellent, both breakfast and dinner!
