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...).

The Hotel needs to be maintained properly. AC was not operational in the Hotel Lobby. In the Room, the Bathroom Door could not be locked. The Bed was not very comfortable. The Buffet Breakfast was really bad. Hardly any variety and whatever was served lacked in taste and quality. The Toaster was switched off and when I asked for a hot Toast, the person in charge pointed out to some toasts lying in a tray and asked me to pick from there. When I refused and demanded a Hot Toast, he put fresh bread slices in the Toaster. Similary if you asked for a Dosa, he would get a bunch of Dosas in a plate and distribute them around. Same goes for the Egg Preparations. Idlis and Upma were equally bad.
The Location is superb right in the heart of Panjim City and right next to Mandovi River. Main market is just a walk away. The Hotel Staff is also very polite, hard working and friendly. It is quite reasonable and value for money.

Câble TV wasn't working, after asking there were only a few channels available. No WiFi in 2024 is ridiculous. The toilet is quite dirty.. In Panjim, there are better hotels with more facilities, for a lot cheaper.
Good location, even though the ship makes a lot of noise outside.

Had issues with the room lock especially in the last 2 days however staff did there best to help and even changed my room for the last day which was good - did take a bit of perseverance though . The Television channels available were not displayed especially given it was DTH service - Although for me it didn't make much difference but perhaps for people with children along it would have helped to know the channel numbers
Breakfast Avg with limited options but enough for the day .Staff were courteous and polite. Location suited my need due to central location . Rooms were good size although the decor was a bit dated but acceptable

Being able to contact the hotel was a nightmare. We booked the rooms back in July 2022 and our stay was during March 2023 but we never received a response to our enquiries which was very disappointing. Some of the staff were friendly but the check in process was very long and they didn't seem to be in a rush to get us to our room. A particular room attendant when delivering our food/drinks to our hotel room would never shut the door behind him and he was never polite towards us.
The view of the river was lovely. Size of the rooms were decent.

Place was under renovation and they don't provide morning breakfast. Bed was not that great, not hygienic. For these facilities it was overpriced.
It was nearby to casino and other market areas. So I liked it because of the location.

The breakfast area was messy , cups and plates grubby , I opted to go around the corner to a lovely cafe for breakfast. Some staff don’t have customer service skills , lack the ability to smile even when I say Good Morning etc.
I read reviews and booked a 6th floor river view room which was wonderful. Big room , great view , very comfortable bed. Great location with restaurants, shops etc . practically around the corner. Some staff had smiles not all. But I was specifically there for the room , location and view.

The location was amazing. Walking distance to Fontainhas. So many shops, and a taxi stand was nearby. Overlooking the river, a very positive vibe surrounded the place. They displayed the room tariffs at the reception. This transparency was commendable.
