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.).

The hotel is a different level of experience. Very sophisticated interiors in the hotel and the restaurants, top tier staff attention. Would like to distinguish the concierge Mr Ravinder, who went an extra mile to accommodate our requests and sorted out many issues that looked hard to tackle for me.

United KingdomVery Little, maybe the airport pick up was a bit expensive for a people carrier but it did the job. If you have a bath then maybe bubble bath should be provided.
There is 5* and the Imperial 5*, class, style and history. All 800 staff smile and are polite and very attentive to your needs. They're all obviously proud of their hotel and the management has the ambition to be the best in India, a dangerous combination for all other hotels. In my opinion they either are no 1 or very close to it. I first stayed in 1996 and it had style then but was run down, my last visit was in 2005 when the hotel had been upgraded significantly. Today, WOW, new stunning pool area has replaced the old one and breakfast terrace area extended into garden area. makes it the best in every respect. Attention to detail is everwhere - at breakfast the teapot and milk jug handles have small cushions around them to stop you burning your fingers, thats if you can lift them theyre so heavy, but dont fear theres always an attentive person nearby to pour the tea for you. Room was stunning with seperate bath, shower and a walk in wardrobe. Whilst staying there the toilet flush broke resulting in constantly gurgling running water, one phone call and within 15 mins the plumber was there to fix the problem - where else would that happen. Breakfast wide choice and ambient atmosphere, where else can you sit and have breakfast on the table where the historic partition of India documents were signed by Churchill, Nehru and Jinnah - History. Overall a fantastic hotel / museum in a good location near the janpath markets and value for money 10 out of 10, If I ever return to Delhi, I know where I'm staying.

MonacoThere is absolutely nothing not to like!
What an amazing stay we had at the Imperial! The staff were so kind and professional. They treated us like Royals! The hotel is simply stunning, the architecture and decoration are a must. I spent a whole hour strolling around the hotel and it was amazing. Everything is just woah! We got upgraded to a suite that was very spacious and so comfortable! The service is perfect, the staff really ensure that you are having the best stay. They are always happy to help you with any query you might have and they really made me feel at home. The gym is also great, the machines are brand new and there are many options. Bonus point for the cold towels available at the end of your workout! The swimming pool is also amazing, it is a little bubble of relaxation in the heart of busy Delhi. Looking forward to my next trip Delhi so that I can come back to the Imperial!

United KingdomAll perfect
My stay at The Imperial is always wonderful. However, before my November visit, I stayed in June of this year and found that the price of my stay most recently was much more expensive. However, I noticed on Booking.com that there were deals available for a much cheaper stay on the weekend I was there. I had booked in advance so had to pay the original cost attached to my earlier booking. I requested an extension to the use of my room which was far too expensive…but given I was already paying above the cost for that weekend and that I come regularly…perhaps a compromise could have been made for the extended use of my room? A little disappointing.
