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.).

FranceYes it's a bit far from central Darjeeling but it's not a big deal to walk fifteen minutes on an almost completely flat road, bordered by nice flower pots, with views over the queen of the hills : ) Otherwise everything perfect!
Calm, clean and comfy bed and rooms. Felt very welcome by smiling and helpful staff. Hot water from 7to9 (am & pm), warm blankets, good wi-fi, good electric plugs, good luminosity. Possibility of heater and room service. Otherwise a few modest Himalayan food restaurants in the street and even more down on the nearby Hill Cart Road. Just next to Tenzing Norgay residence and Ava art gallery. And finally windows and outside balconies with view over Kanchenjunga! Thank you so much! : )

Staff were amazing, so warm and welcoming. Fantastic view of Kangchenjunga from both the window and balcony. The bed was so comfortable, with a good quality duvet and extra thick blanket and when the temperature dropped, they provided an electric blanket for free. They bought tea up to the room every morning, and the food was great and very reasonably priced. It was only a 10 minute walk from the station, and a 20 minute walk from the Mall.

United StatesWould like to have access to the kitchen, as is the case with most “home stays”, but Edwin was nice enough to at least let me keep some things in the refrigerator, I just had to ask permission for him to get my things any time I needed them out because kitchen was off limits. Outside of that, everything was pretty lovely here and we’d stay again. Is more of a hotel vibe than home stay
Staff was incredibly friendly and the view from our room was the best we got in all of Darjeeling! Gorgeous scenery of the mountain from right in your bed!

United KingdomMount olive is a really lovely family run business and home. The staff are so kind, helpful and warm. We felt so welcomed and decided to stay more nights. The beds are comfy and cosy and clean with hot water in the shower. Please make sure you get breakfast and dinner - the owner Edwin is a very talented chef. Honestly incredible food, incredibly reasonably priced

BangladeshNeeraj Da, the property owner, is very Humble and a gentleman. He was very supportive and guided me even before I reached Darjeiling. He helped me arrange the transportation services, which is crucial if you travel to Darjeiing. There was some misinterpretation regarding the room but Nerraj Da solved it and provided us the room we preferred. Mount Olive is a very good Homestay. It is comfortable and safe. If you are lucky with the weather you can see a great view of mount kanchanjangua and Darjeiling City from the balcony. They serve food also. You may find the food tastes different but as there are a lot of options in the city this should not be a problem. The distance of the homestay is a 25-minute walk from the Mall road. Keep in mind Darjeiling is a hilly area and you need to climb some inclines to reach the Mall Road area. For young people, this is a good location, but for the elders, this might be a problem.

AustraliaDidn't see Kanchenjunga from Terrace. Only because it was too hazey. (That's not hotels fault though)
The room was good. A great view from windows. Everything worked. Bed was comfortable and warm. Staff were helpful. They had restaurant which was run efficiently. And reasonable price . The hotel was different than pictures, it was much better than pics. It was very close to old hotel. Nice view from terrace as well. Overall a nice reasonably priced hotel. Would stay again.

New ZealandHad a fabulous stay. The room was exactly as the pictures. Super clean and comfortable. Spacious mountain view. Great value for money. The location enabled me to explore daily life e.g. momos at the corner shop; while still within walking distance of the mall. I always received a generous welcome. What shone through was the genorosity and sincerity of the management. Ever ready to offer local advise and offer assistance. I will certainly be back and highly recommend Mount Olive. Staying here was a highlight of a memorable visit to Darjeeling.
