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 reviewThe host couple were truly exceptional. Right from the moment we reached the property till our departure from the homestay, every aspect of our needs were more than fully taken care of. Even during my mom's illness, the host couple went that extra mile to arrange for my mom's medical attention. It was really beyond our expectations. Room service, food quality, hospitality,and to top it all, the friendly and lively connection kept us so engaged Throughout our stay.. A definite recommendation to all to experience a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at the property.
Nothing major.

Verified reviewSalakha Homestay in Darjeeling exceeded my expectations in every way! The hospitality was warm and welcoming, the rooms were cozy and clean, and the views of the Darjeeling town were simply breathtaking. The family-run homestay felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect for exploring Darjeeling, with easy access to the town and surrounding attractions. Our hosts were knowledgeable and helpful, offering great tips and recommendations for making the most of our stay. I would highly recommend Salakha Homestay to anyone looking for a authentic and memorable experience in Darjeeling. Can't wait to come back!

Verified reviewthis was our best stay in Darjeeling. Neither the Mall nor the Clock Tower is too far from here, however, this place is slightly elevated compared to those two spots. A continuous ten-minute walk is enough to reach either the Mall or the Clock Tower from here. Beside that Once you arrive, the balcony here might just occupy your entire day.
Nawang and Ruhi are two amazing hosts. Their extremely warm and helpful behavior will touch anyone’s heart. They helped us to the best of their ability at any time, with anything we needed. The homestay is very clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated. Finding a flat like this at this price is simply incredible. Moreover, the hosts here have a clear and deep understanding of Darjeeling’s heritage, culture, and local cuisine. Through them, we got to explore Darjeeling in a new way. From now on, every time we visit Darjeeling, we’ll stay here

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful experience staying at this cozy homestay in Darjeeling! I visited with my parents and brother, and we all truly enjoyed our time here. The place had a warm and welcoming vibe that instantly made us feel at home. One of the highlights was the location — it's within walking distance to Mall Road, which made exploring the area so convenient. But what really took our breath away was the view from the balcony. Sitting there with a cup of tea and soaking in the serene, misty mountains was just magical. The hosts were kind and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d definitely love to come back here the next time we’re in Darjeeling. Highly recommend it for families or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!
thank you so much for the review.We hope you will visit Darjeeling again.

Verified reviewWe were warmly welcome by the host couple. We interacted personally connected well. Super comfortable stay and every minute need was vigilantly taken care of. The room in the homestay was clean and we'll maintained, giving amazing view of Darjeeling and Khanchendjunga. Mr. Navang made us feel home and was very kind to roam with us in Darjeeling to show and guide us about places to visit. The charm of this homestay is not only the beautiful traditional looking house, but also the kindness of the host.
Thank you so much for your appreciation.We hope to welcome you again in the future!
