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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe rooms are tired and the ones nearest the road are pretty noisy when the traffic starts up outside at around 5am.
The proximity to the Taj Mahal was fantastic and it was reasonably priced. It felt like a more authentic experience than staying in one of the bigger hotels further out.

PolandThere was no beer or cocktails on the rooftop but it is quite obvious; there was no window in our double room (actually there was one but it was facing the corridor and it was tapping all the time when people were closing doors in different side of the corridor)
Localization was prefect, the staff was great and helpful, the view from the rooftop bar

SwedenNoisy room. Need to mind your head with some very low door openings.
Very close to the taj. Good to get there before sunrise by foot (without extra transport time). Very friendly staff that could support with travel tips and bookings. Big family room. Some free bottles of mineral water on the room. Nice roof top restaurant. Free evening tour with some info about the taj.

United KingdomAside from the view and location, it's an average hostel and we wouldn't choose to stay more than one night. It's not the cleanest or most comfortable place you'll stay and we had bed bugs which made for an itchy and uncomfortable few days!
Amazing rooftop view of the Taj Mahal and perfect location for visiting, just a two minute walk away from the east gate entrance. We also enjoyed the hostel breakfast buffet which was varied and filling.

United StatesAC didn’t get super cold. It wasn’t a problem for us but may be a problem if visiting during the hotter months.
Location is great; about a 5 minute walk from the east gate of the Taj Mahal. Staff were super friendly and helpful. If you book breakfast a day before, there is a 50 rupee discount. Breakfast was unlimited. We didn’t use it but laundry is available for a price and there are luggage lockers for after check out.

BrazilThe fact you have a large window giving you the Taj view also means there's a large window for anyone to peep inside your room, given it faces a hallway. Curtains could be a little better to prevent that, we never felt like we had full privacy even in our bed, which was in front of such windows.
We stayed at the Taj view suites. Considering the price we paid, I think this place is hard to beat. The view is obstructed by a fence and there's a restaurant in front of the room, but still. You're waking up to a view of one of the seven wonders of the modern world for under $30 for 2. The restaurant was good, but it wasn't great. They do serve Kingfisher beer for a reasonable price, so I very much appreciated that. Location is a 3 minute walk from Taj East Gate, so that's also unbeatable.
