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.).

IndiaThe pool tiles are old and need to be replaced. The bicycles are rented out for a very short duration. That needs to be increased. Also, the pool timings are too less. The pool should be open till 10pm at least.
The children's playroom is amazing. The arts and crafts activities are wholesome - the staff - Malvica, Charline, Valentina, Pearl G and Pearl D were so friendly with my daughter. Sapna from the reception was good too. Taj has a unique vibe. The hospitality is unique. Also, the location, the activities for the day and the food is amazing too. I will be coming again for sure.

Being Taj the basics were excellent as expected. The staff was also overly polite, attentive and responsive. I did not feel the heat too although it was peak May summer, due to the property location and the openness. We were served bespoke dishes at dinner by exec chef Thomas which made our evening more memorable. Would revisit for sure any time of the year.

IndiaThe room didn't blow me away and the pool experience was also an average affair. The high tea was meh. But don't get me wrong. They are all good but don't justify the price you pay for the experience unless like me you are here for the superlative outdoorsy vibe then it does.
The highlight of the property is the area around the actual living area. The beach is beautifully maintained. The property is huge and it took me eight minutes to just go around the property on a bicycle. Its a haven for people who love the outdoors more.

IndiaThe pool, though great in terms of the size and access, could do with a refurbish around some areas, especially the tiles on the pool floor.
Our second visit, albeit the first one was 8 years ago. We loved the property and its beach access, and we still do. It's one of the best highlights. The service is as expected of a Taj brand,the food spread at their buffets is not lavish but covers all taste buds and most cuisines to provide a good wholesome meal. They do have a lot of activities, but the weather, of course, was not very conducive to explore all of them and the green expanse of well manicured lawn that spreads from the rooms towards the sea is a sight for sore eyes. We had opted for the sea view rooms, which amplified that visual treat. Lastly the help and care they extended to my mother when she hurt her leg at the beach shows the level of hospitality one can expect from a Taj property , very thankful and grateful for it. We were there to celebrate my daughter's 10th bday, and she did have a memorable one.

United KingdomUnfortunately the beach was somewhat oily on our shoes - this was dealt with promptly by the Hotel duty manager. This problem is not the responsibility of the hotel and has no reflection on the services they provide. It’s unfortunately there is not more regulation on polluting the beach areas. I would suggest the hotel put up a disclaimer and warning to guest , if only to avoid disappointment.
The food was amazing and staff really help you in choosing something different from the many selections available. High standard and quality of fresh foods

Indianothing that I didn’t like
The property is exceptional, well maintained and on the beach. The staff provided exceptional service and would like to mention Vasanti at the reception and Chef Naveen and Arnab at the restaurant Sala de Franzo. At the restaurant they took special care of dietary requirements throughout our stay and made us feel welcome.
