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.).

Staff were excellent. Very helpful and respectful. Location was perfect for taking myself on some walking tours around a really interesting part of Mumbai. The gateway is very walkable from there.

NetherlandsIf you have any inconsiderate neighbors (loud tv and door slamming) it may be kind of noisy. Take earplugs. It's a hotel thing 🤷🏼♀️
We loved the location and the spacious rooms, the people were nice and kind. I DO NOT GET THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! Yes the rooms need updating, that's what they're doing. They are clean, the most important thing. This is a good quality for the price in Bombay!

United StatesI only stayed here for one night before transferring to another hotel to meet with a group. The hotel is an old historic building and some of the light switches were hard to locate. If the hotel is renovated in the future, the owner should ensure consistency with the placement of the light switches.
The staff here was very kind and welcoming. I arrived early in the morning on a redeye flight and the staff worked to find an open room for me, but it took a few hours. They were apologetic and helped me get in to a room as soon as it was possible.

United KingdomIn need of some upgrading as other reviews mention but nothing that was a deal breaker for us.
Excellent value for money compared to other hotels, nice quiet area and convenient for train station and other tourist sites. The hotel itself is an incredible building, and bear with the management as they are upgrading it now. Yes the air con units are old and a little loud, but main thing for us was that it was clean and safe. Great staff too.

India- Upkeep of the rooms: While the rooms are big and spacious, the upkeep of the rooms is average. We had to ask to change bedsheets and deep clean the room after our arrival. - Maintenance: A chair in the room broke when I tried to sit on it. - The bed was big, but the mattresses need changing since they seemed worn out
- Location is top notch, you're walking distance from the CSMT station and in a top notch area of South Mumbai - Beautiful heritage building - Kind and attentive staff responding promptly to requests (we had a few problems, and the staff did their best to resolve them)

Sri LankaThis is an old hotel. While appreciating the value of the classic colonial face of it the hotel needs serious improvement to rooms. The restaurant was very expensive compared to the options they had.
The hotel is so close to a main railway station and Cricket Stadium. The neighborhood was calm compared to other streets around which were so much crowded.
