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 KingdomYou go down a dodgy alleyway to get there and then the place has lots of steps to get anywhere! Rooms are very basic and have no windows.
The view is incredible, and sitting on the roof terrace for any meal was wonderful. The staff were very helpful even went out and bought us a bottle of wine for us. The food was very tasty.

United KingdomNot the hotels fault but on one of the days, it seemed some drain cleaning had been taking place in the small alley leading to fjr hotel (or had just fallen out of the drains) and the smell was literally unbearable so you have to walk past it very fast. As I say, not the hotels fault and if got better after the initial smell.
Really nice guys working at this place. KK was excellent as was the guy running the restaurant whose name I didn’t manage to get but you know who you are! The guy who checked me in was great too. So excellent staff all round who make sure you are well looked after. Decent room for the price and great rooftop restaurant with a view of the Taj. Good Wi-Fi too. Good all round and unlike a lot of hotels in India, they don’t try to rip you off or extract extra money from you etc.

United KingdomThe very best Chai that we had in all of india - be sure to relax on the rooftop looking over the Taj Mahal enjoying a chai tea. The room was very basic, not the cleanest room we have ever stayed in but it was a well priced room in a good location that was just what we were after. We had a good nights sleep. The location was good. The staff were helpful.

CanadaThere is flies in the bathroom which i dont like but at least, they are not mosquitos. I would recommend to close the bathrooom door hahah ! Otherwise, you should probably get your own beer if. you dont want to pay expensive for it.
The location is the best for those who want to have a view on the taj mahal. it's easy to acces and everybody know's it. The room are nice and the staff is great. I would recommend for a short stay

IndiaNothing bad. Was a lovely stay
Lovely place, walkable to some of the main temples which is great. Rooms are in the grounds of a small modern temple so it has an open, friendly, compound feel rather than a hotel as such. Very clean and nicely done but simple rooms. Lovely staff, helpful with anything. Good parking and security.

NetherlandsBed was a bit hard, and tiny bathrooms who will get quite wet when showering (including door and part of the room), little bit noisy, but still great value.
For one night to visit the Taj and then the Fort, a great option. Friendly owner and staff, with a fantastic rooftop terrace overlooking the Taj Mahal. Within 5 minutes, you're at the Eastern Gate. The rooftop restaurant is good, but there are also plenty of spots around the hotel.

MalaysiaI feel that the furniture feels a bit dated. The wifi goes on and off. There's no hose in the bathroom.
It was really just a walking distance from Taj Mahal. And the Taj Mahal view at the rooftop is really a huge bonus. You really couldn't get a hotel with this price that is so convenient. The restaurant has a good menu and meal. The reception was always ready especially since I had a really early train to Delhi.

BelgiumClose off the bathroom so we don't 'enjoy' the neighbours' activities!
5 minute walk from the South (exit) gate to Taj Mahal. Small room with tiny bathroom. Bathroom was open to the neighbours bathroom, so you could hear everything that was going on there! The cooks were very friendly, the food was excellent, and the magnificent view from the rooftop terrace compensated for a mediocre room.
