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.).

NetherlandsHad a fantastic time here with my friend Isha. We stayed here for 2 nights and the place is nice and comfortable. Also the guys running this place really get an 11 out of 10 for hospitality. They went out of their way to make our stay as nice as possible. Also getting the shikara with Sahil to the floating market and on the lake was a lot of fun, he is a lovely person! Do keep in mind though that sometimes the electricity cuts and in the autumn the temperatures get cold on the houseboat!

United KingdomThe sounds isolation was terrible, we could hear everything in the other rooms.
Lovely staff, very helpful, didn't even charge us for the shikaras to and from the docks. The food was delicious, the staff was also very knowledgeable in the local areas to go to.

Internal decoration is ver good. Dinner was good. but breakfast was not upto the mark. Staffs are well behaved and cooperative

IndiaThere was nothing that I did not like, everything was just perfect and was well suited to my budget. Everything was satisfactory and the weather was perfect too making the experience a memorable one. I'd like to thank them for that.
EVERYTHING. The location of the houseboat, the friendly demeanour of the staff, the weather and the food, the rooms, the cleanliness and of course, their hospitality. They made me feel welcome and at home. The food tasted as if it was made right at home. There wasn't a moment that I enjoyed. The calm waters, the beautiful shikharas that pass by from in front of the houseboat, the extraordinary view from the sitting area in front and of course the amazing sunrise/sets were the icing on the cake for me. The ghats were only a 3-4 minute ride away from the houseboat. And this was just perfect for me. You should definitely give this a try!

My wife ans I stayed at the property for 4 nights. We were very impressed by the rooms, great value for money and spotless, clean bathrooms (comparable to a very good hotel in the cities). Beds were very comfortable. Hot water is also available whenever you need. Juice and water provided in rooms as well as complimentary & delicious Kehwa (Kashmiri tea) on check-in. The houseboat has a beautiful deck with clear views of sunset across the lake and close to the floating market as well. The houseboat can be reached by quick 5 min Shikhara from Ghat 12 which the houseboat will organise for you. SPECIAL mention to Omar who took care of all our needs during our stay. The most kind and hospitable host I've met. Organising the home-cooked dinner, kashmiri tea whenever you like, visit to the vegetable floating market at sunrise and then visiting the other attractions on the lake at sunset. He even organised the rickshaw to take us around Srinagar to see the sights. When my wife felt ill on the last day, Omar even made us dinner as per our request which is highly appreciated. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a houseboat stay in Srinagar. A peaceful stay on the Dal lake with great hospitality.
