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 Kingdom1.) The beach just under the hotel, next to the fort/pier, is quite dirty. I understand it does not belong to the hotel, but it is not nice for guests to have to look at rubbish. 2.) First night in the restaurant we bought a bottle of red wine, Casillero del Diablo (Chile) reserva 2019. This bottle (incl. tax) cost us a bit more than INR 80.000 (this is like Euro 100). But when you check on Vivino, this wine gets a low 3.6 score, and the average price in the shop is Eur 4.50/bottle. So it seems strange to ask such astronomical price for a very mediocre wine. Also other wines on the menu are not special and much too highly priced. 3.) Pool is nice but for us (Dutch) the water was too warm, not so comfortable to swim, only to float.
Nice location, very friendly and helpful people mostly, nice view, nice atmosphere.

AustraliaDated… and getting bit old. Perhaps too secluded. Even though there was a car that would drop you to the entrance of the resort. I also feel it wasn’t value for money!
It’s a good property in candolim Goa. I felt it was bit away from the action and nice clubs/ restaurants ( all located in anjuna) and it took an hour to get there. Taj Aguada is bit dated but has wonderful views and amazing hospitality. I want to particularly thank Shivaang Kapoor who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.

IndiaRoom not very comfortable , however housekeeping staff tried their best to reduce humidity inside the room and to keep it dry .. should have some provisions to dry up wet cloths as most people living in rooms without sit outs must be facing the problem of drying their wet cloths .. sea and swimming pool is most preferred during stay at Taj Fort Aguada ..

United KingdomAbsolutely incredible hotel. Staff could not do enough for their guests and every need was catered for. We got upgraded to a wonderful suite owing to our honeymoon. The turn down staff brought us a little gift every evening- little touches like this were so sweet! We went half board which I highly recommend. Both breakfast and dinner had so many choices including fresh/live stations of food. There is something for everyone- indian and continental. I would stay here again anytime I am in the area. True 5 star experience and 5 star hospitality. There are ofcourse cheaper options- but this was worth the extra for an exceptional stay. Thank you to all the staff at the Taj. You all work so hard but are always polite, helpful and greet your guests with a big smile!
