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 location was perfect. While it was tucked away down a back street, it was a stone’s throw about from Leopold Cafe, the Regal Cinema and The Gateway of India. The breakfast was also lovely - a mix of fresh fruits, Indian, and continental foods available.

ItalyAmazing design. Perfect place where to stay in Colaba. Super clean and elegant. The staff did whatever possible to accommodate our needs. Great breakfast! A special thanks to Husna (from the taxi company that supports female drivers, in partnership with Adobe). She was very professional and kind!

United KingdomThe drain of the shower in our room was a bit smelly and we had shared toilets.
The property was beautiful, an amazing introduction to India! Ashwini welcomed us and was so warm and attentive. Our room was super clean and the food was amazing! They had massages by blind people they worked with through a charity, yoga, and a beautiful area to work or study in upstairs. They were extremely accommodating when we asked to leave our bags and use the work area after we checked out. The location was fantastic if you want to be in amongst it!

United KingdomFirst of all the staff, from Nobert, Nileesh, Sadhana, and Ganesh to everyone in their team, even our driver Husna was attentive and friendly and turned out to be some great people. Secondly, we ended up booking the place for multiple dates and extended dates all was taken care of in time and very smoothly. We did not expect the location to be bang on the centre for the things we wanted to do. From museums to galleries and shops, we managed to walk to almost every area we wanted to go and see. From the breakfast to all the amenities provided was exceptional and we even ended up trying a few of their guided tours as well. (do recommend the Elephanta caves, temple and early morning tours) Amex is not accepted so keep other cards in hand, sometimes you might be bothered as the reception level rooms get outside noises seep into the rooms. Either way, highly recommend this hotel!

IndiaLook, this is not a 'hotel review'. I am an old-timer Bombayite. I don't live in the city any more but visit every now and then. Abode is in that part of Bombay where memories go back over a century. The building is a historic one, and so is nearly every structure within a couple of kilometres. What we look for, when we're back in the city, is some of the laidback but tasteful style and ambience to which we were accustomed in the 80s. Issa Sham is just the man, and has just the eye, to have put that together in Abode Colaba.

IndiaThere is nothing we disliked.
Liked everything! Rooms were clean, big enough and nicely decorated. Dining/Lobby area was beautiful. Do not forget to have a Mug of black coffee, it really taste good! Mr Nilesh was so helpful. We were reaching mumbai few hrs before chekin time and we asked Mr Nilesh in advance about possibility of early checkin. We were given room 3 hrs before actual checkin time. We are so much thankful to him. Hotel staff helped us on everything. Breakfast was really good, we enjoyed a lot. Hotel is located just near Gateway of India and Taj Hotel. Do not forgot to shop at coloba causeway market running 1-2 kilometer just starting from the nearby of Abode Bombay. Negotiate well with sellers, most of the time 1/3 to 1/4th of the price they sell at.

IndiaFirstly the rooms are really tiny I booked the “ Basic room “ for 3 nights and the 1st night I had the most uncomfortable experience as I felt claustrophobic and isolated and I highly recommend to avoid this room however the staff was really considerate when it came to my situation they offered me a complementary upgrade room with more facilities, space and ceiling height. This is a very small hotel and at times there’s a lot of noise entering the room.

IndiaFor the basic rooms a toilet outside is a negative as it's a bit far from some rooms and you need to remember the low ceiling. Another thing is that they shut the breakfast sharp at 10, would appreciate some leniency of extending by a few mins, if guests reach 5-10 mins before closing.
Abode is a great boutique hotel, located in the prime tourist location of Colaba. It gives you a beautiful vintage vibe. We stayed in the most basic room, but they were neat and clean and had character. The staff is very helpful and attentive, subko mini coffee shop is great. Even the space to chill on the 4th floor is nice.

United KingdomNote that the hotel is in the busy area of Colaba - it can be noisy therefore at night. Just use the ear plugs provided.
Abode turned out to be just what I was hoping - a boutique hotel, with cool decor, exceptional staff and a retreat from the busy Mumbai streets. We will definitely return on our next visit. A special mention for the relaxing meditation offered at no charge for guests at the oasis that is the 4th floor, and the reception staff who go above and beyond for their guests. Our tour guides (arranged by Abode) for the early market tour and the half day city tour were incredibly knowledgeable and gave us an insight into Mumbai which we wouldn't have achieved on our own.
