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.).

Everything about this property was exceptional, right from the wonderful suites, to the stunning property itself and truly gracious hosting by the staff who literally couldn’t do enough. The food was delicious too, and the fact that you literally could order anything and they would get it for you, was a huge bonus.

United StatesThe staff was almost too helpful particularly while dining in that they were inquiring if everything was to our satisfaction too often.
Excellent welcome. Staff did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Hotel was excellent. The premises could use a little refreshing (rose garden, golf area).

IndiaI suppose it has not been asked to your staff before, but I wanted to know the type of mutton that is served at your hotel. I was told that it is "HALAL" mutton. On asking if there is a choice to have non-halal mutton, I was told that the supply is local and verified to be of top quality, BUT ONLY HALAL. Well, it is expected to be of top quality at Taj. But, if some guests are told that the mutton is not halal, they will refuse to partake it - living in Bharat you are aware of it. However, the choice of non-halal meat should be there to respect the sentiments and choices of the rest of us. This forcing of a particular type is not right. This comment is neither a criticism nor a communal / religious fanaticism. Merely a question of not thrusting something on the guest. Having said this, the food was excellent.
Jalebi-Dahi was what Kashi is for ! The staff, without exception, wants to make a guest happy. The food is not the "cliched" 5 / 7 star bland, tasteless affair. Small gestures, too many to mention separately, go a long way.

United Stateseverything was exquisite. yes it is far from main ghats, you can’t book it and then complain. come prepared to take a cab…the least of the issues.
Dont know where to start. the property itself is an oasis….in the middle of chaos. you can experience varanasi and it’s craziness and come to the palace to immediately have a zen state. The staff is beyond words that can describe. Ganesh has passion in running the place and it shows. But then it shows in the door man who ran to be at the ghat to ask if I want a seat for the aart, mind you that is after I checked out. He just cared. the chef, butler, front desk (he actually used his app to call me an Ola and gave me his mobile nbr in case i needed something) everybody were par excellence. if you think you know what it is be royal think again and experience it here. they will welcome you with a conch, garland and some excellent drinks and snacks. the farewell was even better. a gift, and all of the lined up with folder handed hands biding you farewell. I have not experienced that at home. if you are here in varanasi, do experience it. you can say it is pricey, but when you have dinner in their pool side table and the live music plays next to you, you will know it is worth it.
