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 KingdomThe muzak in the hotel was almost unbearable. The dining room was very pleasant but the relentless playing of generic music on repeat made mealtimes miserable. Also our room gave onto the garden at the front where there is another restaurant from which came two songs on repeat until late at night. We asked at reception if it could be turned down (or even better off) and they were willing but unable to do so. Closing the window helped but not completely and we wanted it open.
The hotel is lovely. The grounds and pool very well kept. The rooms comfortable and well appointed. Staff very friendly. Although a little slow sometimes - it took a while to order refreshments. Nice to be able to open the windows as there are mosquito screens.

IndiaNothing much. May be pricing in the restaurant can be a bit more reasonable.
Centrally located, clean and tidy, very supportive staff and good value for money. We misplaced a packet containing chicken work fabric that we had purchased in the courtyard; staff had kept that in the lost luggage counter and gave it to us when we enquirer about that. Ms.Swetha in the Indian Restaurant close to the reception was very helpful and hospitable. Employees like her will add tremendous value to your property.

AustraliaOverall very expensive, expense was not commensurate with service provided. Azarak restaurant was not good value for money, too expensive for quality and service provided. Rooftop bar only opened after the sun went down, would have been lovely to sit up there and enjoy the sun set.

United KingdomThe terrible muzak in the bars and restaurants was off-putting. They played one track on repeat all through the day and night and unfortunately we could also hear it in our room, which was on the ground floor.
Saraca is a beautiful, heritage hotel located in a high-end neighbourhood in Lucknow. The staff were amazing, very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was amazing with a full buffet, as well as items available on request from the kitchen. You also have some great food options (Italian, Chinese and Indian) in their multiple restaurants and rooftop terrace.

CanadaWe aimed to leave at leave for the airport at 5:00. It took us over half an hour to check out. The person on the desk did not know how to do the checkout. Eventually he called his supervisor who did the check out in under 5 minutes. The persons on the front desk on the night shift needs to be trained in the check out procedure. It is not their fault they do not know the procedure. It is management's responsibility to make sure they re properly trained.
We liked almost everything about the hotel. The house keeping staff were very attentive. The food was excellent. The grounds were clean. I would recommend the hotel in spit of the difficulties encountered at check out,

United KingdomSuggest rooms with adjoining doors - for suites - need better sound proofing.
Very comfortable, characterful pretty Indian bungalow, with wonderful staff. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and arranged our cars and travel around the tourist sites and shopping. The downstairs main restaurant - for breakfast and supper - was very good, tasty, wide selection and good value. The upstairs open area bar was very comfortable too.

United KingdomThe pool is in need of renovation and it’s not heated. I didn’t get any hot water in the shower in my room. It was only warm. Reception seemed a bit slow. I was repeatedly told I had to wait “a few minutes” for everything which isn’t very five star from my experience. The rooftop bar only opened after dark which was disappointing.
It’s a nice property. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was great and the guy called Arman was very professional.
