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.).

AustraliaWhilst it was off season, it was limiting to only have one dining open and nothing alfresco by the pool. Interactions with staff are somewhat intense - cleaners and multiple people at the restaurant introducing themselves and constantly asking how everything is.
Stunning hotel overlooking the lake within city palace complex Beautiful room… with swing! Lovely pool area Great spa Excellent facilities

AustraliaThere were a few ants and spiders in the room. Minor overall but the only real detractor.
It’s positioned in an ideal spot amongst the city palace, and had beautiful views of the lake and surroundings. The staff were exceptionally accomodating and went out of their way to make the stay comfortable.

United StatesWe did have to leave the property to withdraw cash. It would be nice if they had an atm on property since we used so much cash during our visit! But that’s very minor.
You really feel like royalty in this property as it’s attached to the maharana’s current home. The staff is so phenomenal they make the beautiful setting even more special. Pooja, the concierge, was so kind to us and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities.

CanadaTaj Fateh Prakash has an excellent location, within easy walking distance to Udaipur city center. It is also a beautiful hotel and our room was wonderful. But coming from Taj Lake Palace after two nights stay there, the step down in attention to the guests was surprising. This difference was there even before we showed up. We had to write to concierge times before receiving a response, which is frustrating when one is abroad and trying plan a multi-component trip. Even at the property, the staff is polite and deferential but generally lackadaisical (they do not return requested information and have to be asked repeatedly) much less anticipate guests’ needs. One person, Pooja at reception, however, deserves special mention because she was truly exceptional (even by Lake Palace standards) and engaged with the guests brilliantly. She was friendly, kind, super helpful and very much in-tune with the needs of international clientele. I am especially grateful to Pooja (and her team) for going the extra mile to make my wife’s birthday special. Having said all that, I would also like to note that we were there over Holi (2024) and the staff and hotel manager who had organized the celebration at the hotel did a bang up job. The event was fabulous and fun!! One request: don’t actively discourage guests from going into town for Holi. Have good current information and sound advice available and let the guests make the decision. The fact that nobody knew when Holika Dahan would take place was huge surprise and weren’t very enthusiastic about finding out disappointing. Again, we are truly grateful to Pooja was immediate getting the information and making it possible for us to enjoy the experience we came to Udaipur for. Same with the day of… We truly enjoyed going into town (early in the morning) and then continuing the celebrations at the hotel. Both were special but in very different ways.

United StatesI felt the service around the pool area could have been better. A number of times in the evening, we had to look for someone to bring us drinks, etc. Also, the pool area was left untidy for long periods of time with no one picking up towels or cleaning up after the guests had left.
The staff, especially Bhagirath were exceptional. Bhagirath left no stone unturned to make us feel as honored guests - that made our stay amazing. Thank you, Bhagirath.

United StatesThere is nothing to not like.
Great location, inside the city palace complex! The staff at Taj Fateh Prakash is simply awesome, Rajasthan hospitality at its best! Right from the check in we were treated as royals. Santosh at reception gave us a lake view room and made the check in process very smooth. Rest of the staff including Naval, Ramesh, Gourav, Monisha, Pooja and Sandeep they all made sure we had a wonderful stay. Food was absolutely delicious and they were always willing to customize it in spite of having a wide spread of items in the buffet! They also had golf carts at the property which was very convenient for transportation to city palace museum and boat rides.

United KingdomThe attention of housekeeping staff could be viewed as intrusive as opposed to helpful, with constant knocking on the room door for unnecessary reasons. A hotel pool is used frequently by us… this pool overlooks Lake Pichola, a stunning backdrop, and use was restricted by private functions on its terrace. The use of the sister hotel’s pool was offered, but when requested did not materialise.
A heavenly experience. Absolutely stunning hotel inside and out. Our lake view room was amazing, we kept the curtains open, and woke up to stunning sun rises. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom luxurious, evening soaks in the luxurious jacuzzi bath were heaven. Staff were polite, helpful and attentive in all areas of the hotel. The food at breakfast was good. Evening meals in the restaurant were so good -compliments to the chef!! Being next to the real palace was the icing on the cake. We loved this hotel, and Udaipur, when we return in the future there will no hesitation in rebooking.

IndiaThe Hotel is located just on the bank of the lake. They give you security pass which allows you to go at most of the places in Palace without any ticket. Their Buggee drop and pickup is very efficient. I would like to pass my thanks to Pooja on the reception desk as she was very helpful and guided us to plan site seeing locations.
