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 KingdomThe phonecall from front desk to my room at 11pm on the night before check out asking me to attend the reception to pay part of my bill. That spoilt all the positive experiences of the previous days at this otherwise excellent hotel and this negative event is what sticks in my memory of this holiday.
Overall a very pleasant experience. The staff were excellent and looked after us well. The food quality and selection was great. Housekeeping was good.

IndiaWashroom Floor had a Black Stain; Shower Space too restraining; Work Chair too Heavy, should be light. Balcony Chairs not Taj Level!
Every Meal, barring 2 items, was Delicious. Chef Biswas made Dishes exactly as I wanted! Even packed Yum Sabudane Ki Khichdi for Lunch at home! Lamb Steak was not well done; Dahi Bada not good.

Germany1. Regular Wi-Fi is slow (might be due to room location) 2. No remote control from TV (only tuner control is available) - if you want to mirror smartphone screen need to request remote control and use USB cable for connection 3. Sometimes after request to clean room later that was not cleaned (done next day) 4. Several times in breakfast after special request forgotten to get the food (later done) As suggestion: when asking for something from personell, please spell everything clear (English might be a bit different by different countries) and repeat to avoid misunderstandings :)
1. Great swimming pool (warm, clean, big enough) 2. Food is prepared very good. 3. Clean territory. 4. Personal is responsive and reactive 5. Many possibilities to spend time (gym, archery etc) 6. Great shower and big size of bath. 7. Good and not expensive taxi service at hotel.

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to Sumit, Rajaram, Rahool, and Gaurav for consistently going above and beyond to ensure our stay is nothing short of perfect.

IndiaNothing much. Would have preferred more non vegeterian options in the optional buffet dinner.
Booked two rooms at the Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage for a short family vacation. Amazing location, right on the waterfront. Beautiful view of the sea. Staff was amazing. The famous Taj hospitality was on full display everywhere. The kids had an amazing time at the swimming pool, the outdoor play area and the kids play area at Clube Saudes. A special mention of Nikita in Guest Relations. She organized a beautiful surprise for my birthday. Will cherish the memories. Also after I accidently left some personal items in the room during check out, Nikita was of great help in assisting me to retreive them. Thank you.

IndiaManaging welcome of guest was quite mismanaged, we have to ask and follow up for our own welcome. Then off course they took care of everything. This was a really really small thing, this kind of things stays in your mind. No complaints at all
First thing what i really like is staff's warm smile and willing to make your stay as good as they could. Kids play area and staff dealing with kids was something i really liked. Other things were location and proximity to beach and pool. Well managed property, amazing food, amazing vibe.

IndiaYou should give personalised services to your guest who visit your property regularly. Every time I come I am a new face to you. Your database should immediately recognise me as guest who is a regular visitor to your property and accordingly give me personalised service. I have to ask for my preferences every time. Sorry to say this but there is no reward for my loyalty.
Extremely beautiful and peaceful property. Excellent staff and variety of food.

NetherlandsTaxi fare are very high and not in proportion with distance and time. 15 minutes to Panjim = 1090. 25 minutes to Old Goa = 1900 rupees. That is like a scam. Please do something about. Sunbeds swimming pool are a little poor.
I love Taj very much We got an upgrade to a room with sea view and high tra included. No disturbing music at pool and in garden Nice live music at breakfast and in evening in the bar with the good old songs. MonaLisa from garden bbq restaurant arranged a special home cook meal for us. We love it. We also got a ‘See You soon’ treatment at our breakfast on our last day. We have got some great lobster at the bbq restaurant. Good coffee and alu pratha at breakfast. Very good service of all the staff. Quick checkin by Fiona.
