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.).

United StatesThe room was drafty, with gaps in the floor boards. A thick rug would have helped. There was no space heater in the sitting area, just in the bedroom. We could hear some sounds from the room below.
Wonderful location, facing the mountains. Our room had a great view though it was misty and cloudy most of the time. Fairly large room with a sitting area and plenty of windows to enjoy the view. The restaurant was great, plenty of tasty items during breakfast and dinner menu was good.

AustraliaProfessional and friendly staff with top notch service. We felt at home staying at the Cedar Inn. It is a beautiful hotel. The location is great being up on the hill where it's quieter. The views were amazing. We even got to see Kanchenjunga at sunrise. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, the food was delicious. They must have a good chef onsite. We will be recommending.

The Cedar Inn was a beautiful property situated in the mountain town of Darjeeling. You will have a view of the Himalayas in any room you stay in. The staff were so kind and provided exceptional service. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area!

SingaporeThe room was a tad cold for us even with a heater which heated the top deck up nicely but left the lower deck rather chilly all day.
It’s location is perfect for those who want to dip in and out of Darjeeling center. Up on a hill, it provides amazing views of the valley when the weather is clear. The rooms are very spacious and the electric blankets are such a luxury in winter. The grounds are lovely with beautiful views and the staff are incredibly helpful, happy to assist us with our questions.

Excellent location at the hill top of Darjeeling. The rooms are extremely comfortable with wooden floors and roofs. You can view both valley and mountain range from room itself. The hotel being located at hilltop, you may not get anything to purchase so easily, though the hotel gives complimentary drop at downhill Bazar. I would advise you to carry with you the essential things that you may need during your stay.

Our stay at the cedar inn was phenomenal! The property is extremely beautiful, serene and so well maintained. The rooms have a gorgeous view of the mountains which made it that much more enjoyable. The hotel staff was very friendly and elevated the entire experience for us by making us feel very welcome! The restaurant was well stocked and catered all our meals. Their parathas were a staple for us for breakfasts. Overall the food was delicious ! Most definitely will go back again soon

The hotel was everything we could ask for - well appointed rooms, well maintained property, great grub and superlative service. Which was complemented by the gracious hospitality of Mr Nangia, the General Manager who went out of his way to make us feel wanted. We stayed there from 27th December to 2nd January and celebrated the new year in the hotel. The hotel is situated a bit away from the main town (and just below St. Pauls) - the road from town is steep and winding (may be too long an uphill walk except for very fit people) but the hotel provides complimentary transportation to and from town twice a day (though we did not avail of that facility since we had booked our own cars for the duration of our stay) The rooms that we stayed in were very good with a very decent sitting area. And unlike many hotels, there is space to keep 2 suitcases side by side. The view of Kanchenjunga from the rooms are stunning! The general decor is top notch and is designed to please the senses. Well worth staying!

South AfricaThe bed linen and towels. The hotel could most definitely do with some new bedding and towels. The shuttle service pick up times could be extended as 7.30pm is the last pick up, which is a bit early for those wanting to shop after a day of sightseeing.
The hotel has an old world charm. All of the staff were very welcoming and polite. The Christmas Eve and Christmas night bonfire and live singer was definitely a winner. The electric blankets in the beds was a nice touch to the cold. The bathrooms were clean and modern and the shuttle service to Mall Road made it accessible.
