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.).

IndiaI tried calling the contact no. After it was disclosed by booking.com post confirmation of reservation but the phone was switched off. That's all. It didn't impact much because the guy was so welcoming upon our arrival that we completely forgot about it.
We were roaming around at Nariman Point and felt like spending some quality time together and then pushing off to our works the next day and were looking for a place to spend the night & this was like finding a gem. The whole ambiance of the place was lit. Kinda retro.. Loved every minute!

Belgiumreally, it was decent.
The wide room. It was really a simple hotel with no decorated rooms but it served it purpose well. The hotel is also very well placed. Colaba is definitely the only area I would take an hotel in Mumbai.

United StatesAn additional marker or sign in front of the building can help arriving guests to know for certain the location of the property, which is up a flight of stairs in a rather large residential building.
Bed and Breakfast in Colaba proved to be a good choice for a short stay in Mumbai. The property is ideally located along a quiet street just around the corner from the bustle of the Causeway and close to many restaurants, shops, and sights. The staff at the property were very responsive and kind, especially Inderjeet, who helped me activate a SIM card and arranged a day tour around Mumbai. The building itself is old, seeing as it is situated in a "heritage" district, with some facilities such as AC units in need of a cleaning or upgrade. Some of the electrical sockets were a bit fussy and crackly, but overall, I found the accommodation fair for the price offered, especially when compared to nearby alternatives. Were I to visit Mumbai in the future, I would stay at BnB Colaba again. Thanks, guys!

LatviaWell, beds are pretty short.. they are definitely not meant for people of 2m height :) other than that, everything was just perfect.
We had a triple room and it was very spacious + big balcony, 1 king size bed + 2 single beds, we are family of 3 and we really enjoyed staying there. Hotel is located in Colaba which was amazing - everything around, from local street food to Starbucks. We will definitely choose to stay here when we come back to Bombay. The hotel suits overall Bombay vibe so if you are looking for an authentic stay, choose this place. It is not fancy and it should not be, it has a very authentic feel and thats what we were looking for.

FranceBathroom out of the main room is really not convenient. Breakfast with only toast and coffee is too limited for a B&B labeled stay. Globally overpriced for the features, but I guess this is the standard for Mumbai...
Excellent location in Colaba near the main tourist attractions for central Mumbai. Very large rooms with a lot of space ! Nice staff and building with old-fashioned vibe.
