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 reviewIf you are looking for a peaceful and tranquil setting, away from the busy Leh town, this is the right place. It is also a great stargaze spot providing clear skies. The host, Arif is very welcoming and very great knowledgeable about his hometown. He is very genuinely nice and always kindly assisting the guests in all enquiries which needed regarding Leh. They have everything you need. From hot water for shower, karaoke, greenery view, the place is well decorated. I truly enjoyed the stay and hospitality. Exceptional! Thank you for the stay

Verified reviewWhat a lovely and very peaceful place to stay in Shey! The owner Arif was very quick to respond to my messages and very helpful when I had any questions. I felt very welcomed at the house. Wonderful and very hospitable family. Arif went out of his way to make sure I had an excellent stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. They also have a menu available with vegetarian and vegan options. The food was so delicious! Would highly recommend to stay here if you're looking for a place outside of the hussle and bussle of Leh!
Nothing, it was all excellent!

Verified reviewThis stay at Nature Palace Farmstay was remarkable for the host's genuine hospitality and the exceptional service standards offered. Arif, the host, was amazingly responsive and thoughtful, and was constantly striving to improve the stay - ably supported by his parents. The room was spacious and well appointed, the bath and toilet was spotlessly clean and the complimentary mini-toiletry packs was useful. Despite the rural ambience the washing machine, hot geyser and superfast wi-fi made life easier. There was uninterrupted power supply but the local power cuts sometimes affected geyser and larger appliances. Nestled in a small village near the Indus river, this a quiet farmstay where we wake to the sounds of birdsongs and riverflow. That said , the final approach to the farmstay is somewhat muddy and might be a small struggle especially if it rains. Authentic, homely Ladakhi food cooked by the matriarch was tasty and healthy. Her passion for food was reflected in each dish. For example, the taste of the local bread Khambir made by her - eaten with omelette and dollops of butter - will grow on you! And this food is genuinely farm to fork - most of the vegetables used here for cooking are grown in their fertile farm patch. The patriarch will happily give you a tour of the tiny farm with infectious enthusiasm. The standout feature of our farmstay experience however remains the openhearted, effortless hospitality of the host. Thanks for a 10-star experience Arif!
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! It truly means a lot to us. We’re so happy you enjoyed the peaceful setting, our home-cooked meals, and the little comforts we try to provide. Your words motivate us to keep getting better. Hope to welcome you again someday! 😊

Verified reviewOne of the best places to stay in Ladakh area which oozes the charm of rustic life of a local, far from the hustle bustle of Leh, there is so much to absorb from the great food to the sound of the rivulet (which is actually Indus waters) Add to it the high speed internet availability, a warm and welcoming host, it sums up to unparalleled comfort in the lap of pristine nature

Verified reviewNature Place Farmstay is a hidden gem for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature without compromising on comfort. The WiFi is surprisingly fast at 100 Mbps, making it perfect for remote work or sharing your serene getaway online. Nights here are absolutely magical—clear skies reveal a blanket of stars, and on one evening, we were even lucky enough to spot the rings of Saturn through a telescope provided by the host! The nearby Indus River adds to the tranquility, offering peaceful walks and stunning views at sunrise. The food was another highlight—fresh, locally sourced, and full of flavor. Every meal felt like a home-cooked treat. If you’re looking for a place where nature, comfort, and a touch of the cosmos come together, Nature Place Farmstay is it.

Verified reviewFirst and foremost the location is nestled in peace with a resplendent view, literally in the lap of nature with Indus right infront of the property. Food and hospitality is beyond words with local tastes and wide assortment sitting in an atmosphere of local tapestries, carpets and local cutlery . Not to miss 100Mbps WiFi always helps The nights are lovely with the breeze and calmness and wonderful view of Starry night and even the Saturn ring. Kudos to the owner family who has put a astronomical telescope in the property besides their heart in the hosting
Nothing luckily.

Verified reviewWhen we reached Nature Palace Farmstay, the youngest member of our group exclaimed that it was the best place that she stayed at and it was a combination of home and a hotel! This was not far from the truth - Nature Palace is a lovely home with all the amenities that you would get in an excellent hotel. It is located amidst willow trees, far from city life which makes it a very serene place. The rooms are beautifully designed and furnished with lots of sunlight and great views. The bathrooms are large with separate changing areas and hot water at all times. In addition to all the amenities, there are also games for kids which kept them entertained during our stay at Nature Palace. All the food we had there was superb especially the Ladakhi cuisine. Everything was freshly made at home which tasted wonderful. The hosts are warm and hospitable and we really enjoyed interacting with them. We will definitely visit again!
