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.).

ThailandOne side of the hotel rooms have magnificent views of the garden and the mountain. However, the other side faces the road and the wall. Unfortunately, I got the room on the other side that was noisy because of the road and no great view. I would advise guests to confirm if you can get the view first. If not, it could be a huge miss for the price you pay.
The facilities and the hotel in itself was wonderful and cozy.

This was perhaps one of the most memorable of stays in India and the heritage property is one of the most gorgeos ever. The reception staff, manager, housekeeping staff especially Maya and the restaurant staff were exceptional. The food is very good and since we were at the time of lower occupancy the al lacarte breakfast was beautiful . The lawns and Gazebo are absolutely gorgeous as well.

perched on a small hill the sweeping views of the valley and mountains are splendid. the manicured gardens look wonderful first thing in the morning when you look out of the windows of this magnificent heritage building which is majestic in its appointments. the bar is warm cosy and plush with leather upholstery and the dining hall befits the presence of royalty!

IndiaBehaviour of some of the guests towards our Dog.
Quaint heritage property with a friendly and helpful staff. The food was fresh, homely and comforting. Lower rooms have fans which was required during the day. They prepared food for our dog and their own dog Ferro is adorable, old and harmless. The rooms were cleaned with care especially since we were living with a shedder.

IndiaBut it is very poorly maintained. The corridors are smelly, North Indian food pretty average, service time slow. It needs a good manager to lift the place up.
There is nothing much to do in the city Kalimpong. But the property has excellent unadulterated view of the mountains.The property has old world charm. The taxi service provided through Nanda Chettri is excellent. We got in touch with him through the hotel itself. But when our daughter fell ill, every single request was answered in record time and medicine was with us within 5 minutes maximum. That is surely commendable.

IndiaBeing wooden floor, the foot movement noise is annoying. Especially if naughty children around running around always might drive you crazy.
The location is awesome with beautiful view of the Himalayan Ranges. The property has been immaculately maintained. The granduer and opulence is worth mentioning. As it is a hertitage property the owners have really taken extra care to maintain the same and add to it, which really commendable.
