How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewMax is a very nice host. We had two nice days with him. The room is also clean and good. We would definitely come back!
Sometimes it is a little bit loud outside. But this depends probably on the Location of the Room.

Verified reviewMax was a great host and very accommodating. We arrived earlier than expected. He quickly got the room ready for us, and had no qualms updating our room at short notice. Because we didn't overnight there, but just needed a few hours to leave our luggage while we visited the Taj Mahal, he did not charge us a full day fee. That was very great-warming😊

Verified reviewThe only review you need to read. Max Guest House is truly outstanding. Shah is an extremely polite host and his father and uncles are true gentlemen. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was completely comfortable. The cleanliness was at the level you would expect in a five star hotel. From the corridors to the rooms, the washrooms and even the blankets, everything was spotless. I have stayed at the Taj before and I can honestly say the standard of cleanliness here was on the same level.
There is nothing I can dislike.

Verified reviewI had a very pleasant stay. The room, bathroom, sheets, and towels were very clean. The bed was comfortable and Max, the host, was extremely welcoming and helpful, which made the trip much easier. The location is well situated in a quiet neighborhood, just a few minutes by rickshaw from the main sights in Agra. I highly recommend this place!

Verified reviewStaying at Max Guesthouse was great. I crushed in quite late last night but the owner was still waiting for me and he took his time to show me around and to explain everything to me. He also helped me to organise my trip to the Taj Mahal. His advice was very useful. I felt very comfortable and welcomed at his place. Everything was good - I cannot think of anything else. I would recommend this place to anyone!
