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.).

IndiaThe hot water was not available. No option but to drink bottled water. So much for 'save dal lake'!!! During the shikara ride, a lot of vendors selling various paraphernalia solicit you. Recommend do not buy. Esp dont get duped with 'Kesar'
The room was as described. The staff took good care of us. Note that since kitchen is not attached, food has to be brought from elsewhere. They also give you the option of doing it ashore. The Shikara pick up and drop from gate is complimentary. But for a separate trip, you gotta pay. Pleaee be sure to ask for whatever you want. In our case, though the geyser was on, it wasn't working and we realised this only in the morning. Clean sheets and bathroom. One bread omelette and tea each in complimentary breakfast. Wifi was bust but the helpful lad fixed it, although only for a few hours.

IndiaThere are a lot of hidden travel expenses . The staff should inform guests. The cars from Srinagar cant be used for sight seeing in other Districts or areas and one has to hire again. They should be clear on this to the customers.
The location was excellent. The caretaker of the house boat was very helpful. Ashraf did a good job .

IndiaWe reached late and the facility owner said that we can have dinner there, but the staff who came to pick us in Shikara said we have to go and eat outside and come back because it will be difficult for them to arrange food. So we wasted around 1 hour and reached the boat around 10:30. As soon as we entered the gates of boat was closed and staff didnt allow us to sit outside in the balcony area because he wanted to sleep in the adjacent area and didn't want to be disturbed. First time ever I have had such an experience. Power was switched off around 12:30AM except 1 light in the room and we couldn't charge our phones. Next morning the guy who was supposed to drop us to the ghat, we asked him to let us roam in the Shikara for 15 mins and we got off even before that, but he asked us to pay up 500 bucks. This was for a service which was supposed to be complementary. Honestly this was the most disappointing experience during my whole stay in Kashmir and I booked this based on positive reviews on site.
