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.).

FranceThe pick up from the railway station was complimentary which is nice. Nevertheless all other services are charged much higher that what you can find by yourselves, so compare before you accept them.
Situated in the fort of Jaisalmer. A charming room with a balcony situated in a lovely guest house with plenty of terrasses. You feel like a maharadja overlooking the town. All staff is professional and very friendly. The Breakfeast was excellent and can be taken on one of the terrasses which are part of the fort architecture. The staff is at your service and prompt to offer tea or any other treat when you return from visits. The rooms are on the high end of the price range but it is once in a lifetime treat that you need to to offer you.

Belgiumthere was nothing not to like. Very friendly staff, nice food, brilliant location, incredible views!
Most lovely location inside the fort. The income and placement of the hotel make for a part of the fort that is perfectly maintained in its old glory. Without a doubt, when in Jaisalmer, book the Killa Bhawan!!! it is worth going up with the riksha or tuktuk (cars cannot go to the top) and staying in rooms with an amazing view!!! All of us loved it, including a couple of friends with their 1yr old little girl! We hopefully will be back soon for a much longer stay!

CanadaOne suggestion would be to have some extension cords so that we can plug electronics in closer to the bed.
It's more like a home and the staff are just like family! I caught a cold and they made me ginger tea whenever I needed it but even days later after I checked out they were still messaging me to check up to see if I was OK! My room had a shared bathroom which I was a bit concerned about but it's only with 1 other room and I never seen those people it was a non issue. It just made the plaxe feel bigger.

United KingdomBathroom a bit small. Honeymoon suite next time!
Fabulous location at the top of the fort, with great city views. A tiny 7 bed B&B hotel run by three lovely people. Breakfast on the communal roof/balcony - and lots of recommendations on where to have lunch or supper. They also found us a great guide and went out if their way to be as helpful as possible. Outstanding experience- best yet on our tour of Rajasthan- and way better than posh hotels four times the price.

Our group had the whole hotel & we could not have been looked after better. The breakfasts were fabulous- must try the plain cheese omelette!! And chai masala was brewed whenever requested. Devine

Excellent position. Nice rooms within the old fort. Fantastic verandah to sit on and observe the fort entrance and the city. I also loved that they would give you a (free) pot of coffee or chai at any time and you could have it on the balcony. Great stay. It was the highlight of our India trip

The hotel was located inside the castle. The room we stayed had a balcony which overhung the castle wall. The view was the best past from there and the terrace. Hotel staff was super nice and helpful. The entire building, including the room, felt like a part of a museum. The layout, vintage decorations, and even the view transports you to an earlier time. Food and tea was amazing. Additionally, this is centrally located to make exploring the fort easy. Great value for money. If you’re staying in Jaisalmer, this is the only place to be. Highly recommended!!

AustriaThe rate is, compared to similar establishments, quite high.
We did enjoy our stay for several reasons. First the staff, including management provided excellent service, combined with personal and warm attention. We really felt at home! Secondly the hotel is built into the walls of the Fort, it couldn`t be better. It incarnates the atmosphere of Jaisalmer like no other! We were staying in a suite, which consisted of a well furnished room with a small balcony and a semi private anteroom.

IndiaWe had booked this hotel on a recommendation of a friend who had stayed there but, were very skeptical of what to expect. We even decided to take a single bag and keep the remaining luggage in the car itself while staying there. Due to the elections and a rally happening the auto couldn’t take us up so we had to walk all the way up (which we had done a day before when visiting the fort and, it isn’t that much to walk). On getting there the managers Mr. Manish and Mr. Bhanu were very welcoming and warm. The ethos that they have is that this is your home and we expect you to treat it like your home. They gave us the biggest room in the hotel (if you can call it that) which was comfortable for my family of us 2 and 2 kids. The room which we were given, Room No.8 has a double bed and quite a large Single bed which can accommodate a adult and small kid. We had a nice chat with Mr. Bhanu on the terrace from where, the views are to die for. He guided on things to do and specially places to shop at in Jaisalmer. In the morning, they arranged a lovely breakfast of local delicacies along with anything else we or the kids wanted. We definitely would have loved to stay another or a couple more nights because it was that warm and comfortable. A lot of people come to Jaisalmer without knowing you can stay on the fort or, they think that staying on the fort would not be a great thing to do. However, do take my word and visit this place, you will not be disappointed. It is an experience that has to be had once in your lifetime.
