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.).

Fantastic place to stay. The location is perfect to discover Jaisalmer and walk to the Fort and walled city The room was comfortable and spotless.The best part was the rooftop with the restaurant where you have a beautiful view of the city and the Fort. The breakfast and dinner were the best we had during our stay in India. But this place is very special due to Vicky the manager who has welcomed us in a best possible way, gave us guidance on places to visit and was always willing to tell us more about his beautiful country and culture.Thank you so much Vicky you are the perfect host

AustraliaWe had a lovely time at Killa Bhawan Lodge when we stayed in December 2023! the location was so great, right next to the Patwa Haveli which was absolutely beautiful. It also is in walking distance from most places and we walked easily to Jaisalmer fort. The staff were also so lovely, helped us organise taxis, sightseeing, and provided excellent service regarding the room and dining. We also really enjoyed the food, with the baingan being our favourite! Our room also provided a lovely sanctuary away from the busyness of Jaisalmer.

IndiaWe stayed here for only one day and our experience was very good. Best thing is the location which is bang opposite the Patwon ki Haveli and at a walkable distance from the main fort area. Terrace area is also very good to just chill and have some good food with the fort view in the background. And last but not the least very friendly and helpful service by the owner.

AustraliaI was going to stay 4 days and stayed 14. I felt at home at Killa Bhawan lodge. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the decor was tasteful, the bed was confortable, nighttime was quiet except for the occasional mooing cow (♥️). The restaurant had unbeatable views of PATWA Haveli (also from the rooms) as well as the fort. The food was delicious and they use filtered water to wash everything. All the staff were super attentive and sweet and Vicky, the manager, gentle, accommodating and kind beyond words.

We had a wonderful stay at Killa Bhawan. Beautiful and authentic rooms that take you back in time. Location is incredible. One Haveli can be seen right opposite and other places like the fort are in walking distance. The host was really nice and attentive and let us check in early as our train got in super early so we're very grateful for that 🙏 Great stay and can't wait to visit again.

SpainBy being next to the main Haveli of Jaisalmer, the area can get very crowded during the day but this didn't affect my sleep at all as it starts getting loud after 10 am.
I booked this place for 2 nights but due to change on my plans I had to stay only for one night. The policy did not allow any modification, however Vicky (the owner) did everything possible to make my stay easier and comfortable. He accepted an early check-in, so I entered 5 hours before the normal check-in time. He also offered me free lunch and transport to get to the airport on the day of my departure. The place was just amazing! Comfortable room with a nice double bed and a spacious bathroom and good wifi. All very traditional according to the architectural style of the city. The location was unbeatable, just next to the main Haveli (traditional palace museum mansion) and very near to the other two most important Havelis (7 minutes max. walking distance) of Jaisalmer. More or less the same distance to get to the Jaisalmer Fort by foot and approximately 1km away from the Gadisar Lake which is another attraction in the city. Nonetheless, the big plus of the accommodation is its terrace! Having breakfast there or any meal is a must do thing and also get to the highest part of the terrace, offers fairly the best possible view to the Jaisalmer Fort. I recommend checking it both day and night! Overall I had a great stay there and I wish I could have stayed there for more!

NepalLiked the people, both manager and staff. They were great - both Rajasthanis and Nepalese. They were super friendly and helpful. Vicky was a great help. He organised my excellent desert safari and gave many useful tips to explore Jaisalmer. His elder brother received me with great enthusiasm in another Killa Bhawan Lodge inside the fort. There also the Nepalese staff were great. The room was super cosy and nicely decorated with Rajasthani arts and antiques. The AC functioned well, which is super important during the hot season.
