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.).

IndiaI would have preferred if the renovation happened at a time when the homestay was not welcoming guests. Also, the mirrors are too short for the average Indian man.
The great view down the valley and how warm Jayashree, our host made us feel. The rooms were cozy and the breakfast tasted very homely. Great place to be with friends.

IndiaI liked almost everything, the location is good but it's 15 mins down hill walk to mall road and you get cab any time. Need to just inform the owner they will arrange cab with reasonable price for sightseeing or visiting the mall road.
The rooms were really wonderful, the view was awesome. The attitude of the owner was mind-blowing, they were very humble and assisted us with any kind of assistance required. Price was reasonable for both rooms and food. It was kind of homely atmosphere and did not have any issue travelling with aged people and a 5year kid. Service was really fantastic. All over its a very good homestay with perfect location, price, service, and room condition with perfect decoration and all necessity item required for stay.

United KingdomThe roads to the homestay were slightly steep and narrow, but the taxi drivers managed just fine. It is about 20 mins walk to the Darjeeling station, and 5 mins drive (without traffic). The steep roads were a bit challenging to walk down so wear sturdy shoes so you don't slip, and coming back up walking will require a little bit of stamina. But you can easily get taxis for about 300 rupees to and from the homestay and main center.
Beautiful chalet homestay with balcony offering fantastic views perfect for watching sunsets when it's not too cloudy. Excellent hosts who are a family, making us feel extremely welcomed and at home, offering us Darjeeling teas and biscuits on arrival. Jayashree managed all the communications with us, and was quick on her responses on Whatsapp and helped us sort out a driver for our full day tour around Darjeeling and other spots. Checking in was really easy and convenient, with the hosts warmly welcoming us on our arrival. Jayashree is the best host I've ever made, and she genuinely cared about our stay and did her best to ensure we had a comfortable stay throughout, catering to our requests as best she could (e.g. leaving at 5am on our last day to catch our flight, making us delicious breakfast before we left for our day-trip at 7am, etc.). She is also lovely to chat with, about her family and her hometown. I want to also point out that the breakfast was not only delicious, but had many varieties, consisting tea, eggs, toasts, butter, potato curry, naan bread, and fruits. I had the most wonderful stay at this homestay and can't recommend it enough!

QatarIs a bit away from the mall - about 1.5kms and taxis usually charge INR 300-400 one way.
The property is well equipped and very well maintained. It offers view of the Kanchenjunga range but we were unfortunate as it remained shrouded in clouds for the entire period of our stay. The beds in all the 3 rooms are made super comfortable by the heating pads. The apartment has a nice 6-seater dining table and 2 bathrooms fitted with geysers. The internet is also very reliable and fast. Jayshree is an exceptional host. She goes above and beyond to make her guests comfortable. She arranged for complimentary transfers to the Mall road on our first day. Breakfast was very good and we were given options to choose from. The setup was very homely and Jayshree has also kept some books and games for guests. The Darjeeling railway station is a short walk downhill (about 20 mins). Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we would certainly like to come back and stay for a longer period if possible.

And the apartment was spacious and very comfortable, and great value for money. I only wish that we could have stayed longer !
