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.).

ItalyWe liked the very good food, polite staff, the garden and the Gardener. It’s a beautiful property. Nature and restoration gives the vibes of a time that was more than a century ago. The view is very good. The dinner and the breakfast were very wholesome and tasty. With vegetables fresh from the property itself. The candle light dinner is a must!! We had no problem during our stay.

United StatesMy stay at Seclude Taraview felt incredibly special. I felt like I really was in a secluded world tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The garden area was lovely and full of flowers, and the house has a beautiful antique style. The staff are amazing and took such good care of me from the moment I arrived. Deepak especially was a great host. The homestyle meals were delicious and such a spread! Everything about the experience felt like five star treatment. I wish I had stayed longer, and I would definitely return again!

The location is great if you want to be a bit outside of the city center. The staff was very nice waiting for us until after 11 pm and offering dinner. The room had a heater and heated blankets which we didn't have in any other hotel in the region during our stay.

JapanThe hot water boiler is a bit small, which encourages short showers. Seclude Shimla is relatively not cheap and demands prepayment without the option to cancel.
Seclude Shimla offers the ultimate colonial experience. The property is a thoroughly renovated wooden structure with tasteful furnature, which all feels very historical. On top, we were pampered with great Indian food and service. We especially appreciate that Seclude Shimla offered lodgings for our taxi driver.

IndiaSeclude Shimla was an absolute delight! Our stay was exceptionally warm and comfortable. The food was to die for. Anit and Nadeem took excellent care of us. So much so that we extended our stay by another 3 days. The property is 170 years old and nestled in a location that completely shields you from the bustle of traffic and tourists while still being an easy 15-20 minute drive from the main town.

AustraliaA desk chair would be a great addition to my room
What a great find Seclude Shimla was for me - it suited me very well. Good location with beautiful outlook over a well tended garden. Shimla is a crowded nightmare with a great deal of traffic - Seclude was convenient to all that I wanted to see and far enough away that i was not aware of traffic or excess noise - the off street parking was a great bonus. Nadeem was always available and manages a team of warm welcoming staff - would definitely return
