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 bedroom and bathroom was bit of a dampener. The bedroom was dark without windows with no sunlight. The room was however very big and spacious, enough for extra bed, plenty of space for movement. It had a nice fire hearth and the staff even offered to lit it for us in the evenings. The bathroom was too big without shower screen, and there was a kind chillness due to the size. The water was hot very early morning but by 7.30am it just about luke warm and taking bath was chilly affair-luke warm water and chillness due to the size of room. Shower enclosure would be the answer and better heating required. They expect 100% advance payment on check-in, bit strange, especially when its exclusive.
Location was very peaceful, scenic place, hotel kept spick & span, staff very friendly & always smiling & eager to help. Garden was the best, we spent hours on the lawn, basking in sun, reading, chatting and working. Food was high quality, service excellent. Dining was a pleasure here. Reception made it smooth for us and were ever helpful. I have to appreciate service of Mr Bala at reception who was very helpful always, Mr David, senior steward very seasoned, experienced, smiling taking care of us, Mr Hasmath Ali, youngster, steward, very mature for his age smiling and served us well and Mr Ashok, housekeeping, for his ever helpful nature, attended to all our requirements and more. Service overall is 100% with well trained staff

IndiaSherlock is a really pretty and quaint property just a few mins way from the bustling main town of Ooty. We really enjoyed our short stay here, the room was clean and with all necessary facilities, the team members Bala, Ashok and even the cleaning lady who made our room including the other team members on property were extremely warm and accommodating. The food is excellent as well, we enjoyed our evening tea and snacks along with dinner too. Overall a fantastic city getaway for peaceful staycation.

Saudi ArabiaIt was early March, and the nights were rather cold but they would not light the lovely fireplaces in the house or in the rooms. I can't see why, because it would cost them practically nothing to do it, firewood in Ooty must be practically free! It would have definitely added to the ambience of the place if they lit the fire in the living room or the restaurant at least, which were really cold especially since they seem to be in the habit of keeping all the doors open. I would definitely have fallen in love with this place if they had not bee (in my opinion at least) so stingy with lighting the fires. The rooms were a little shabby, with yellow sheets, even though they did seem to be fresh. The furniture and curtains also seemed not to be rather old and not to have been polished in a long time and were like your grandma's old furniture that you might inherit but want to really polish and varnish before you put them in your house. The curtains were definitely rather dirty. Definitely this place could easily charge 1.5 times more if only they gave the building and the furniture some TLC. They also were kind of stingy with changing me to a room with a veiw of the garden even though I could see that there were several rooms empty.
The garden was wonderful - just gorgeous in fact and the view of the hills was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave me a heater and it was really helpful. The restaurant was great, they would ask you what you wanted for dinner so that they could prep it and be ready for you when you wanted to eat - which was very nice of them - I didn't take advantage of this kindness and so had to wait quite a while for dinner to be ready for me after I got to the restaurant. So do take them up on the offer when they ask. The breakfast was wonderful, although they could extend it upto 10:30 rather than just 10am if you asked me. Definitely the staff deserve a special mention for their service and helpfulness!
