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 StatesImmediate area is a bit run down but walkable to major sights. Air conditioner drips a bit but not needed at night.
Staff did a great job communicating with me in advance and anticipating the dangers of me arriving late at the train station. Thanks, Ali! Room was as promised & comfortable. Upstairs restaurant was convenient. Staff was friendly and advice helpful.

GermanyThere are many things we liked such as: 1.Cleaness: This has been the cleanest place we've stayed in India, when we arrived we received our room in the best condition ever. 2. Staff: The people working there went above and beyond to help us out in everything we needed. Really helped us out with transportation from and onto the trail station early in the morning and they also helped us guiding us around the city.3.Desert tour: In the hotel they recommended us the best desert tour ever, which allowed us to see the desert, the sunset, and afterwards the sky full of stars. The tour operator was very friendly and helped us out with any question we had around the region. Overall, it was an incredible experience that made us love Jalsaimer and its people.

United KingdomNice place, peaceful in the night time. Walking distance from town and the fort. Hot shower, comfy bed. There’s also a great restaurant on the roof with some Korean specialties for a decent price. After the desert tour they let me use a room to shower in, which was very kind.

GermanyWe booked the budget double room for two nights and loved it! It's the best value for money and we would have paid twice as much for this cosy room. It was very clean and the bed was very big and comfortable. The location is a bit out of the main fort area, which we really liked. It's quieter and the bus station is only a few minutes away :) They also arrange desert safaris with "Arbina Desert Safari" which we really enjoyed! You should definitely do this if you are in Jaisalmer 😍

FranceI would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Jaisalmer. From the nice staff, clean room and food, everything was great! fotiya organised our desert experience to a remote non-touristy spot in the desert (unlike the others advertised around town). Sayar is an amazing chef, cooks everything fresh, and the best gatte curry in town. Amazing experience, they even gave us a lift to the station and made sure we found our seats on the train

GermanyFirst of all the location is very accessible if you arrive by Bus (5min by foot). Rooms are spacious and comfortable, hot water is provided. Fort is 10min by foot. The staff is super friendly and will do everything possible to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I went to a ride through the desert organised by the host which was super cool. There are also spots to collect fossils just ask them for the location. Breakfast on the rooftop with sunrise was perfect. I had a great time there and will definitely come back if I have the chance.

GermanyLocation - located close to the fort and its a peaceful location Rooms- It's a newly constructed property. It looks exactly like shown in the picture. Rooms are quite spacious and decorated with vibrant traditional rajasthani decor. It is very clean and well maintained. Toilets are tidy with geyser facility. The bed is super comfortable and most rooms hav a nice balcony. Food-tried poha,Paratha,pasta,biryani and it was good. Hospitality - We initially checked in at 3am due to train delay and unfortunately as rooms were not clean , the staff apologized and was kind enough to waver off the room rent. Ali is a very wonderful host who guided us throughout our stay. Overall i must say it was one my best stays in rajasthan. Thanks to fotiya hotel family. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone visiting Jaisalmer.

We had the best experience in India by far. We are two young female travelers and we can say that it is a place we recommend to other women and solo travelers. First of all, we arrived really early morning and our host was waiting for us at the train station so we could arrive the hotel safely and without paying a lot of money to other drivers. The rooms were super clean, really comfortable bed and the view is amazing. They let us do an early check-in and offered us chai on the roof top so we could see the sunrise. They offered us a quick city tour and then a Safari through Jaisalmer's dunes. The price for this experience was super accesible. If we wanted we could stay the night at the desert and enjoy of a nice meal there but we did not had the time to do that. It was really a magical experience and we highly recommended to go with them in this activity. We hope to comeback anytime soon. Everyone was super nice and took care of us till the last second we stayed.

BrazilThe location is fabulous, 5 min walk to the fort and shopping area, with stunning views from the top terrace where the restaurant is. The spacious room, with great taste, overlooking the city and the fort. The super comfortable bed, the spacious bathroom, we rested like kings. Ali the hotel manager was very friendly and picked us up at the train station as a courtesy at no cost He has always been there and his recommendations were very valuable. Organised an authentic camel safari in Thar desert with family at a great price and also offered other tourist services unbeatable value Breakfast, tea, lunch and dinner on the top terrace are all very tasty and at a good price. Highly recommended and would love to come back to spend more time in the golden city of Rajasthan
