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.).

SwedenThe complementary yoga session was alright, but I would expect more when you're in the epicentrum of yoga-nations.
The staff helps out a lot, they are always greeting you, always answering immediately on the phone at the reception, the breakfast is excellent, you can order a cab within a few minutes and there are plenty of options to eat and enjoy yourself within the compound.

We had a fantastic two nights at the Imperial. The rooms very fantastically spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The staff were as always, attentive and professional but not too full on. We ate both evenings at hotel restaurants and had fantastic meals. Overall with the location and hotel amenities, the Imperial remains my hotel of choice when in Delhi.

CanadaThe staff, the services, the accomodation is all very top notch. Little details always provided. Experts only here. The property is fantastic, inside out, and throughout is like walking through a massive art gallery. Well-maintained historical place that doesn’t feel dated at all. Excellent 5-Star stay, consistent across the board.

SwitzerlandExtraordinarily friendly and courteous staff, made us feel so welcome and well-looked-after. Utterly gorgeous hotel. You can get lost in any of the common spaces looking at the art and antiques. Rich with history, including a table at which Gandhiji and Pundit Nehru sat, which makes your hair stand on end. Cannot recommend more.

United Arab EmiratesThere is nothing I can put in that I didn’t like about this property. I would not hesitate to stay here again when I visit Delhi.
I have to say the staff are all amazing; totally customer focused and very flexible. I became ill in Delhi from food I ate outside and the chef was extremely flexible to the type of food. I needed to eat to help me recover. The staff were also aware of my illness and constantly asked me how I was recovering. In terms of customer service, hotel, excellent staff , and hotel facilities, this has to be the number one hotel in Delhi.

BelgiumI had an issue with my credit card while travelling and even if I could fully pay my stay my bank wouldn’t allow the hotel to do a pre payment for “extras” the staff was very rigid and strict about it - I had a member of staff running after me after I had a coffee because I had to pay directly and not put it on room, this was very upsetting.
For me, one of the best Hotel in Delhi, it looks-feels authentic, with real class and history. The restaurants are amazing, my room was beautiful and super comfortable. The spa is incredible, I had the best massage and the manager was extremely welcoming
