Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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...).

FranceA little chilly in February because of marble interior. But it’s probably wonderfully cool in the hotter months!
We enjoyed a spacious room in this very large family home with white marble aesthetic inside. The house is located in a very quiet street off of a larger busier road. We were able to easily walk to the Taj Mahal west entrance and the Red Fort in 15 minutes. The breakfast and dinner made by Muhammed’s family were excellent. Muhammed saved our life by letting us pay a little extra to stay comfortably in our room until our train left at midnight!

Room is spacious and clean, and VERY quiet. Location is great, very close to Taj Mahal. The host is very friendly and helpful, and was very flexible. We didn't pay any deposit when we booked the hotel, and when we arrived, he offered to show us around before we decide if we would stay without any charge.

United KingdomBooked a budget room which on B.com showed bathroom. For £12 a night. Checking in told budget room does not have hot water for the price. As HW was needed I then asked for room with HW. This was an extra £13 per night. No problem paying what is due but room description should clearly outline no HW at time of booking. Had there been other hotels nearby I would have gone elsewhere
The location to Taj Mahal spacious clean rooms and bathroom

IndiaExceptionally nice small Guest House, impeccably clean rooms, lovingly designed, great lights, excellent location on a side street but 5 mins from the public shuttles for Taj Mahal. Excellent breakfast served at a communal table where one can meet other guests. Lovely owners and staff. Coming from Sweden, we loved it.

Wonderful hospitality by the family. The home-cooked meals were fantastic. I stayed 2 nights and had dinner both nights. This is a homestay so don't expect restaurant-style service and you won't be disappointed. The location was convenient for visiting the fort and Taj Mahal.
