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.).

Russia-
I had a perfect stay in this hotel. Everything was great, rooms are clean, the host is very welcoming and warm, breakfast is tasty, price is great, Mahabodhi temple is 7 minutes away. Love and attention is felt in everything. The host also helped me to get a tuctuc to airport at a good price. Hotel business is often called hospitality - and that’s exactly what I felt all my stay: that I am welcome and the host intends to take good care of me.

United KingdomIt was a little bit difficult to find but if you look up there is a large sign saying Rajhat Maranao on the roof and another large vertical sign with the name on the side of the building. These signs are visible from a distance.
Walking distance into town. Comfortable bed and good bathroom. The host was very friendly and offered a variety of snacks. The place was very clean.

United KingdomModest rooms, quite small. Room was reasonably clean, although unfortunately looking over land with lots of rubbish, but I guess that can’t be helped.
Proximity to the Mahabodhi temple (7min walk away!), staff attitude was great. We got tea straight away when we arrived, and we could have late check out with no extra cost. Manager booked us rikshaw there and back from Gaya. Very accommodating and helpful.

United StatesTheir house is wonderful,clean and relaxing but when you come out from their private road to the public street, the people have dirtied the streets so badly that it is unbelievable, this seems to be a major problem in India.
Our host is a wonderful person, he went out of his way to arrange everything for us. His wife was very kind and prepared wonderful international food every day. They made us feel very much at home.

United StatesThe area in which the house is located is not clean, given that it is next to the market, but we cannot fault the property for the general state of the town.
The host was extremely helpful in sending us the arrival information, woke up at 2 AM, when our train arrived, and sent a reliable driver to meet us at the train station. We were quickly on our way to some much needed sleep. The property is literally 5 minutes' walk from Mahabodhi Temple, as well as the other places of interest in Bodhgaya. The host also helped with our departure to the airport, and sent us off with a very nice breakfast. Cannot recommend enough. Useful tip: 2 minutes' walk from the property is an extremely nice cafe, Carrot Cake Cafe, which serves amazing espresso coffees, cakes, and cafe food - in case you have been on the road for a long time, and got a bit tired from spicy cuisine.

IndiaThe hotel and rooms are beautiful. The food is delicious, healthy, and beautiful as well. But those were the minor parts, as the owner of the hotel was so friendly and helpful, and exceptionally kind. I am traveling with my grandfather, and the owner's kindness and accommodation to total strangers far exceeded what is necessary for business or hoteling. He made our complicated trip simple and homely and shared with us in true love and faith. My grandfather and I will remember this stay and kindness for years to come. Thank you.

United KingdomOsama and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. They took good care of us, providing a lovely dinner for us when we arrived, late, as our train was delayed, and when we left and our train was again delayed, they gave us a room to rest in and dinner before we left for the station. The room was clean and comfortable and the food was good. The location was very convenient for the Mahabodhi temple and the other main places of interest.

NetherlandsThere was very little light entering my room, although I didn't mind that much since I was out all day anyway.
Truly hospitality and friendly staff. I arrived a little before midnight after quite a journey and they still offered me nice food. The premises itself was very clean and so was my room. Not too big, but all amenities are working and in good order and the bed was comfortable. The location is about a 5 minute walk from the main draw to Bodhgaya: the Mahabodhi Temple! All in all, also considering its very affordable price class, I was really satisfied with my experience at this hotel and would definitely stay again.

GreeceThe only issue is, that it is located on a dimly lit dirt road, behind the vegetable market. As such, I would not recommend the area for a woman travelling alone.
Everything was perfect. The breakfast is well worth the money, it cost at least double the price to eat the same food outside. The room was very large with a well-functioning AC. The bathroom is very well ventilated. The interior of the hotel is spotless and well maintained. The host is super helpful and the hotel mascot is super friendly. The hotel is quiet and very close to attractions and stores
