How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Room opened to the row of homes across the street so curtains needs to be drawn at all times. Breakfast was quite limited and just alright in taste. Nohighlights really.
Loved the location close to all the happening places of Park Street. Hospitality and the staff were truly welcoming and warm.

Nothing.
Friendly welcome. Airport transfers both ways arranged by hotel and worked well. Staff were very helpful. Room was very comfortable. The outdoor dining would be wonderful when the weather is cooler 40+ during our visit. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Fine location 20 minutes walk to Victoria Memorial.

They apparently don't provide empty plates in your room and it's chargeable if they do. That was strange and inconvenient if you order from outside.
The stay was both comfortable and super value for money. The check-in experience was seamless. They allocated the type of room I had requested, noise free, away from the elevator. Their breakfast buffet is sumptuous. The staff at the restaurant are so attentive. Housekeeping was impeccable. Special mention for the in room dining experience on the first night where they customized my beverage exactly as per my request. Beautiful property, definitely worth a visit.

There should be a handrail at the front stairs for mobility challenged people. The spa rates seemed a bit too high. Food pricing was a bit on the higher side.
Very centrally located and was convenient to get by to most of the places of interest

I felt the hotel lacked an internal bar / cafe space. The only space available was a restaurant which was not ideal if you wanted to meet colleages for a drink and a catch up and not a full meal. The only other option available was a board room which was quoted at over £100 for a couple of hours use.
A well located hotel with the bonus of a garden - a welcome oasis after a day in the city!

Too many checks to the room during checkout. I got visited by 3 folks.
Great location. Property interior gives me a boutiqu hotel feeling and at the same time some contemporariness. There was a beautiful garden/patio part of resturant which was really good. The staffs were very courteous.

It is a little pricey though.
Excellent location, very comfortable rooms and overall a nice property. But the staff is what made the experience very pleasant - everyone was so warm and professional. I loved their welcome Sandesh! They even returned some clothes I had left behind. I would consider staying there again.

Price of food at the restaurant is expensive in general.
It's location is great. It's near the Victoria memorial and within reasonable distance from main highlights of Kolkata city centre. It's an old, British style hotel and some refurbishment would be welcome. Otherwise breakfast was good with a quite good selection.
