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 KingdomNot a lot though a few tweaks could be in order such as net curtains where our bedroom was visible from other guests and staff. I do think though that only ours was affected. One BIG negative was the fact that the hotel did NOT serve wines, beers, cocktails etc.A big shame when such lovely food was served and not in keeping with the requirements of the modern international traveller!
The food was excellent at breakfast and dinner was exceptional with Continetal, Indian and Asian dishes on offer.The Staff were also very pleasant and helpful. The location was superb with fine gardens, plants and flowers in the well tendered gardens The views over Ooty were spectacular from so High. The reason we chose this property from so many was the colonial charm - the hotel looked like it must have done in 1925 with old photos, prints and other memorabilia on show What history! The location was great, being away from the hustle and bustle of Ooty down below. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful heritage property with great surroundings. Staff could not have been more helpful. Vimal, in reception, managed to get us an amazing room (ask for Prospero when you book). Regan brought us everything we asked for at breakfast. Shakar delivered nightly hot water bottles and checked our heater. We will definitely return!

IndiaBeds are too small - so they need to work on having bigger beds because family with small kids is way too difficult to stay. Staff need to welcome and probably need some training in that regard as I had to literally go and talk about my booking and stuff. I guess that is one thing that they can do better.

Indiai think the price is too high for the rooms; it should be in the range of 5-6k a night maximum because this is not even a resort, no swimming pool or big grounds to roam in.
Quaint and cosy with a good view of the hills as it is located at a height. everything is very neat and clean with beautiful English styled rooms.
