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.).

IndiaNothing as such
We had a great time at Cavalry. The room was large, clean, very well appointed and superbly comfortable. The rest of the property is also wonderful with lot of pictures and memorabilia of the family's history. Colonel Udai Bhan Singh was a very kind host and made us feel very welcome. He joined us at breakfast and shared some wonderful stories of his family's history and roots in the City. The location is about a 10 min rickshaw or taxi ride from the City Palace and Lake Pichola and there are a couple of nice restaurants nearby as well.

IndiaNothing that I can think of.
From the moment we stepped into Cavalary, it was an enchanting experience. The property itself is an epitome of design, blending traditional Rajasthani elegance with contemporary comforts. Every nook and cranny is adorned with taste, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and sophisticated. But what truly sets this place apart is the warmth and care extended by the Col Udai sir and family. Their genuine smiles and heartfelt welcome made my wife and myself feel instantly at home. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, anticipating our needs and exceeding expectations at every turn. We were served delicious hot breakfast which easily had 3-4 items like, poha, paratha, fruits, sharbat, omlette, cake etc. (Every day is a new menu which is being managed by Ma'am). Caretaker Pawan is also cordial in nature and is quick to assist as and when needed. Adding to the property’s allure is the rich tapestry of its history. It's clear that the family's deep-rooted history in Udaipur, as descendants of the Mewar dynasty, has instilled in them a profound sense of hospitality. Recommend this property for people who are looking for a home like comfort. It is conveniently located to all the major hotspots like markets, restaurant etc. @Special Mention. - If you are fan of vintage vibes, a historical place where you like to indulge in storytelling, Udai sir is your go to man. He even showed us around the property which was sweet of him. His son, Kalp too was forthcoming in every way possible. It was my birthday and he went out of the way to receive my parcel and keep it with him as we were out for dinner. It's these small things that can make up for a 5 star experience for any traveller! Location Guidance: By Train🚆 Located about 3.8-4 kms about 15 minutes drive from Udaipur Railway station. By Flight ✈️ Located at a distance of 23 kms which is 30-40 minutes away from Airport

I had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. The owner is very nice and gave to me advices on where to go during my stay. He organised a taxi for day trips outside the town. The staff is also very nice and gentle, and the breakfast is so nice and home cooked. The room was very large and comfortable. The mattress was also excellent. I would highly recommend The Cavalry. The location is slightly outside the buzzing area of the old town which also makes it quieter, a short Uber away from the old town.

United StatesOur stay at The Cavalry was extremely comfortable. The process was smooth from the booking to checkout. We were given a room upgrade because of some technical issues with the original booking, which was a pleasant surprise after a long day of driving. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The house has seen many summers and the charm of the home outcrops from under all the new renovations that has been done on the homestay. Col. UBS Ranawat is an amazing company to have. He is nothing like the steorotypical image of an army man. He is the gentlest person you'll come across. We shared his stories of his time in the army and his regiment and missions during a lovely breakfast. His son Kalpshakti was also very helpful in answering all our questions as well as entertaining our requests. I'd highly recommend their homestay for anyone who is traveling to Udaipur and for any number of days.

IndiaWe had the most incredible stay at The Cavalry Abhay Nivas which is a beautiful and well maintained property. Traveling with a 2 year old, we did not feel like we were away from home. The hospitality here is like a warm embrace from a friend. Colonel UdaySingh who owns and manages this place regaled us with tales of his remarkable journey in the armed forces and it was truly a delight interacting with him. Breakfast is home cooked by his wife and each meal felt like a culinary masterpiece prepared with love. You'll savour every bite, trust me !!! Mr.UdaySingh also hooked us up with the local travel contacts who took us around all the important touristy places. It was like having our own personal tour guide to explore the city at our own pace. In conclusion, this is not just a place to stay; Mr.UdaySingh and his family have crafted a haven of hospitality that deserves all the accolades. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this hidden treasure and it's the kind of place that lingers in your heart long after you've left.

Fantastic facility, well maintained property, rooms, cleanliness and housekeeping -just t well appointed rooms, facility location is close to Pichola lake, Hathi pole and all major tourist destinations. Top of the mark home stay. Moreover, the host is very kind, helpful and welcoming. Personalized service and warmth never gives you a feeling of staying away from your home. This my stay met all the parameters of home -stay. Will rate breakfast 10/10. Warm, tasty, perfact portion, and presentation which makes you very happy and satisfied. I will highly recommend visitors to consider this facility over any others in Udaipur. Comfortable, safe, high quality service, cleanliness and hospitality by Col Ranawat and his staff was top of the line. Am looking forward to staying at this property again, for sure. Thanks Cavalry for hosting us.

IsraelA wonderful time in a wonderful place. I had the pleasure to stay at "the cavalry - abhay niwas" for 4 nights. Unlike many homestays - this place has real character. Col. Uday Bhan Singh, a retired army cavalry and polo rider, shared his military and royal history and gave the property a distinct identity, decorating the antique renovated homestead with horse-riding art, and naming each room with terms from his world. I stayed in the "trot" room which was big and luxuriously decorated. The homestay is well maintained with great care. The Col. Was so friendly and courteous, attentive and caring to my needs, and so is the fine staff. Breakfast was tasty and finely home-cooked. The location is 10 minutes drive from the city palace, which was comfortable enough for me. Of all the places i had booked in india, this is my favorite.
