Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United Arab EmiratesIt’s a masterpiece in the world of hospitality! The best hotel I’ve visited! The heritage vibe is just majestic, I felt like in fairytale. Everything was just perfect. Warm Nepali hospitality and attentive attitude towards every detail made my birthday trip really unforgettable! Many thanks from Dubai 🧡

FranceBreakfast manager and staff there are not welcoming and do not make sure food is regularly replenished. Staff can only force a cold smile and even that is rare. In other hotels staff are very friendly and welcoming- a contrast that one can see with eyes shut. Puri was not made up to standards. Hot food was just tepid. Shower head needs fixing: water goes anywhere else except where needed. Hotel was overrated.

IndiaThis place is wonderful. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. We were traveling with a 15-month-old infant, and the hotel staff went above and beyond to assist us. They not only prepared special food for our child but also provided cooking provisions. The atmosphere is tranquil. I highly recommend this hotel, especially the attentive service from Mr. Probin, who made sure our stay was delightful.

United KingdomIt was a shame that both mornings I wanted to used the swimming pool it was being cleaned and I was unable to get a slot at the spa as this was booked out. I do understand that keeping a pool clean in the centre of Kathmandu must be a tough job though.
This is my third stay at this glamorous, historic and lovely hotel. The room was super clean, with elegant furniture and super comfortable bed (though I had a slightly smaller room than usual I was comfortable). The staff as always made us feel right at home; everyone who works here is charming and efficient. The hotel is like a haven away from the daily grind of Kathmandu and a stones throw from good restaurants, shops and the bustle of the city outside the walls of Baber Mahal.

France- Breakfast is not up to 5 star standard. Food is not kept hot, insufficient attention was paid to replenishing food and juice/ Croissants on most days are not fresh. - the breakfast manager just walks around, does not pay attention to the running of the operations and ensure guests have what they need. - Staff's attention to guests is patchy. Staff at breakfast area are not really friendly. They do their job as if it is just a job, not a hospitality business. We did not get a sense of being welcomed. They need to be trained to be smiling, friendly and welcoming to guests. - The traditional dance dinner (cultural dinner) is a let down, just a tourist trap - The shower head does not work well. The water stream goes everywhere but not where you need. - The paintings of ancient figures are on the walls but with no inscription to say who they are, which gives a sense of being just decoration and has nothing to do with history or "heritage"
Quiet even though located next to a busy street. Staff at reception are friendly Swimming pool is clean with a nice surrounding area

United Arab EmiratesThe swimming pool was a let down and ideally a pool bar with a larger pool would have been awesome.
The hospitality and staff were excellent including communication in advance of our arrival. The heritage hotel has been refurbished well with lovely spacious rooms yet providing modern amenities. Also great that there were so many dining options
