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 KingdomNothing!!
The room was large, modern and supper clean, great comfortable bed and en-suite was perfect. Ally and his family are soooo lovely nothing was too much trouble and great recommendations. Breakfast was fabulous, they even got up at 6 ish to make it for us as we left early to catch a shared car to Leh (which Ally arranged and what a great idea, the journey was amazing 🤩) We would have stayed longer but they were full and I can see why!!

Sitting Kashmiry style in the common area right next to the kitchen waiting for and enjoying warm and delicious meals ...easy flowing conversation or movie(s) night!!!I have stayed in countless hostels but I just love the vibe of this place!I! I chose it because it was close to the airport planned to just stay for 1 night and find something by the lake but no way!!!Much better to stay here in peace and quiet and walk to dal lake when you want!Dorm beds very well organized!Could go on but I will stop here...oh and they rent motorcycles!!!Good hot water!

IndiaMore information on check-out during check in. But this is not a negative per se. They were quite accommodative.
Very good stay. Facilities are one of the best you can find in Srinagar. I had a better experience than Zostel over here. The staff were also very friendly. The owner was also quite helpful. You had hot water 24*7 in the washrooms duing the winter, which is a big plus. One thing they can improve is to mention the check-out rules and timings while checking in. Otherwise, you're at short notice regarding the check-out.

United StatesEasy. Arriving back from our trek Not sick : - ) I would have much more loved coming and going, exploring Srinagar from the Homestay those 4 days, instead of recovering. John however made the best out of it for me anyway, and I greatly appreciate it.
Excellent hosts! While motorcycle trekking I became sick one day before returning and when I arrived was bed ridden for 4 days. I could not have asked for better caregivers than those at John's Homestay.

TaiwanThe location is not in the city center, but by a toktok, you can get to the city center and Dal lake easily!
The breakfast was like most of hotel, toast and omelet but taste nice, and they also served hot tea, it will warm your body in the cold season. I was lived in a sharing room, and Kashmir have the policy of power cut, but the hotel people will give you enough quilt in case you get cold, the bed was very clean, people have no need to worried about hygiene issues here!

IndiaHome cooked food.
The host Ali was very friendly and he helped me to get my SIM card and few insights about the city and people , he has bike rentals also from Himalayan, classic and Scooty everything. It was a work trip for me so i didn’t got much time to explore Srinagar. I think in winters the property is valve for money and even in off season it’s quite pocket friendly bcoz it’s hard to find bunk beds in Srinagar. Thank you for hosting me. Best of luck for future.
