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...).

IndiaTheir checkout is very rigid with giving very little room for flexibility
Stay at Kalka Royal, Katra was absolutely wonderful. The hotel was very comfortable, and conveniently located, making it the perfect place to start and end the pilgrimage. The staff in particular Mr Ajith and Mr Kakaram was warm and welcoming. The family room was impeccably clean, spacious, and well-equipped with all the amenities. I truly appreciate the exceptional hospitality and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Vaishnodevi.

DenmarkThe hotel was right in front of the Railway station so we just walked to the hotel. The staff was really nice. They provided us alternative room to meet our need for extra bed which was really nice. Beds were comfortable, hot water was available all the time and room service was also on time as we also ate food at hotel and the food quality was great! The hotel staff also helped us with booking commute for our darshan day and trip to Srinagar.

IndiaBreakfast was quite average with just 2-3 options (plus fruits, canned juice, tea/coffee etc). This is the least option I have seen in any property, so far. There was no live counter which was a big disappointment. For any extra dish (beyond the available options), guest were charged. The restaurant was very small with space for hardly 20 guest at one time. Entire restaurant was managed by just 2 staff members, affecting the service, cleanliness etc.
The Family Room was great. Very comfortable and spacious with 2 bathrooms, which was a pleasant surprise. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, it was just fantastic! The staff at this hotel were very courteous and helpful. They made our stay very comfortable. Food was good, considering all the preparations were without ginger and garlic. Room service was excellent.

India- Tap leakage in basin. - Cleanliness in rooms (some flies/ insects) were observed.
- We didn't have time for breakfast. - Location is excellent! - Reception staff helped us in a difficult situation that our VB ex had delayed by 11-12 hrs. We were sure to have missed onward train at Delhi. We could somehow manage flight booking (Jammu- Delhi) & they arranged taxi drop off for us upto Jammu airport.

IndiaLoved the stay, great value for money. The main selling point being the close proximity of the property to the railway station, as it's just opposite the railway station on the main road,me and family comfortably walked from the railway station. Also a beautiful dry fruit shop inside hotel so no need to go outside prices are really genuine
