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.).

Great hostel just around the corner from The Taj Mahal with friendly staff and a rooftop cafe with a view of the Taj.

So close to the Taj Mahal! Walk there in 5 minutes. Fun decoration on the walls from all the previous guests. Helpful guys on the desk to give us tips. Great Hippie Bar on the roof to see the Taj and watch sunset. Easy stores and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend :-)

IrelandThe internet only worked well downstairs in the lobby - it didn't really work in our rooms. The shower was weak, and so we washed using the bucket and jug provided as standard.
Check-in and check-out were well-organised and quick. We were very impressed by the rooftop view of the Taj Mahal. The property is located right in the middle of a lively local district, so you really get an idea of how the local people live. We slept very well in the comfortable beds. We had to cut our stay short by one night, and knowing that our room rate was non-refundable, the staff kindly offered us a free breakfast.

United KingdomThe only ask I can make is if they can add a Lift (but can't due to Govt restrictions around the Taj). The steps to restaurant is a little steep to climb.
If while visiting Taj Mahal, you can't stay at Taj Mahal, so Joey's Hostel is the next best option. The view from the Roof Top Restaurant is mesmerizing. Walk hardly 100 metres to reach Taj Mahal's entry gate. They arranged for vehicle parking even in the busiest street. Staff very friendly, the hostel is a cultural melting pot with lot of foreign nationals staying here. The food was good both Indian and American options.
