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 StatesI really can’t think of anything else we needed.
This is a delightful, picturesque property and location. The staff was lovely and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home - offering lemon soda when we returned from exploring hot and sweaty, coffee and chai when we woke up in the morning. Pandu and Jaban (sp?!) made this place extra special. Be sure to have a meal prepared by Jaban - he’s an excellent cook!! The room had an adequate AC unit (it doesn’t get very cold, but we’re not big on AC so it was enough to cool the room before we turned it off and went to bed with the fan on) and period furniture. We loved that it was a family home and enjoyed meeting James, the owner. He has a lovely boutique upstairs that I wish we’d discovered earlier! Overall this was an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai - we highly recommend it.

IndiaThe room was a bit small, won't be an issue if you're traveling solo. But, the location and proximity to south Bombay attractions make this homestay value for money.
Amazing homestay and hospitality by the Ferreiras!!! I was sceptical in booking it, but took my chances and wasn't disappointed. The home owner and support staff are just amazing people. Would highly recommend and love to return again here.

United StatesThe house is located down a narrow alley that may be difficult to find at first if being dropped off by car.
The home is beautifully decorated with a private room complete with air conditioning. Close proximity to many popular landmarks in south Mumbai and within ~30-40 minutes to airport. Mr. Ferreira and his assistant Pandu were communicative, friendly, and with a wealth of local recommendations. Breakfast each morning was delicious.

United KingdomIt is down a small alley so taxi’s can’t go down it or seem to know where it is in general. Make sure to be dropped off on the bigger roads.
What a hidden gem! James Ferreira and Pandu made us feel very at home in their house right from the start. The house is over 200 years old (rare for Mumbai) and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the closeness to busy main areas whilst still having a quiet place to come back to. They also whip up a lovely breakfast and tasty tea! Would recommend to anyone wanting to understand Mumbai a little deeper.

United StatesPerhaps more amenities in the shared bathroom like toilet paper, more towels, soap, etc.
I loved how James and his assistant Pandu were always attentive to every request. Pandu wandered around with me to get the kurta that I needed for a wedding an ensured that I paid a fair price. He accompanied me to make sure I made my train when I left. They helped arrange for favorable exchange rates of USD to Rupees from local stores. They really went above and beyond for me. The location is great because its centrally located near Marine Drive.

A place of fine character in an interesting neighborhood. Very comfortable and within a quick ride to Colaba. You won't regret choosing this for your stay.

The room and bathroom were comfortable, but mostly it was being able to wander into the house, the garden, and the street of equally charming bungalows that sold it to us. Such a beautiful homestay. James took plenty of time to get to know us and tell us all about his incredible life, and Pandu was so nice to get to know. I’ll never forget this place!
