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.).

Awesome hotel in central Colaba. Perfect location, quiet clean rooms with breakfast included. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are very spacious and with a romantic antique vibes. Our favourite place in Colaba. Totally recommended for families too.

SwedenThe bigger of the two rooms we had was not as clean as the smaller one.
We were a group of 4 and all in all, we had a good stay at Bed and Breakfast at Colaba. The best thing about the stay was the staff. Somant was the one who helped us with everything from getting us extra eggs with the breakfast, fix us a taxi, find color powder and trousers for Holi. He made our stay the absolute best. The location is also good, with the Gateway of India and the Taj from a walking distance.

India1. You don't get the room they advertise. In fact they took us to a different building saying Avabai Mansion is booked. We reached at 2am and on asking why we weren't getting a room in Avabai Mansion, we were promptly cut off saying go stay somewhere else if you don't like it here. Having said that, the other building is very similar and in the same area, but this is overall not a good thing. 2. They only accept cash payment. This is despite the fact that my card details were added on booking.com for payment - not just guaranteeing. I think it's a good idea to call them ahead. And ask them to share the details of the building and room
The location is fantastic. It's perfect for someone interested in touring South bombay. This is a very basic guesthouse. Don't expect much. We had a pleasant stay despite the initial hiccup. The staff was polite and served us tea in the morning. The bathroom was clean thankfully. So I have no complaints on that front. Hot water is good.

IndiaBathroom could a little bit better in terms of cleaning
The staff are extremely helpful. I saw many reviews that the mansion was hard to find but I don't think it's hard to find. Just look out for the Avabai mansion. The room was big and extremely comfortable. Bathroom cleanliness could be a bit better. On the whole, you get more than what you pay. The location is crazy good if you're into shopping and the gateway of India is like 5 minutes walk away. Will visit again for sure. Thankyou

SwedenCleanliness could be a bit better, but not really worse than in other places in India. Breakfast is just toast with a weird tasting jam. But there‘s plenty of cafes nearby, so it is not really an issue. A bit hard to find, as there is only written Avabai Mansion barely visible. It doesn’t look like a hotel and doesn’t really have a sign.
We had the family room with 2 big beds and our own bathroom. I liked the room and the atmosphere. Cleanliness was okay to Indian standards. Noise was not too bad as compared to other places. Staff was always available but left us alone and in peace when we didn’t need them (unlike other places). AC worked well, warm water worked well. The best is really the location, right in Colaba, with restaurants, cafes, museums, art galleries nearby. It is near a bigger street but located in a quieter little alley.

Poland- came in the middle of the night and was a bit anxious about neighbourhood (we were placed round the corner, in Sethna House), which over the day (and following days) recognised as pretty nice and safe. - no use of toilet paper ^^ - included breakfast more than basic: tost and jam
+ excelent location + quiet place - especially as for the centre of Colaba + relatively spacious room + room kept very clean + host (Sumnat), resourceful, and always available and happy to help, truly caring that you enjoy the stay. At the request would also arrange everything that you might need. + extra peyed breakfast (only 150inr, c'mon) very tasty, and choice on demand ;) + good VFM

United KingdomThe room did not have a mini fridge to store some cold water bottle while using the premises. The toilet and shower facilities were left a bit untidy by other guest.
The location of the property was just right for a quite snuggle in while being close to transport services to commute. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The overall room was very spacious .
