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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IndiaThey did the best efforts. it would be self centered to point out the flaws that they did not have. If u have to make a little effort to reach this beautiful hotel, i suggest you make the effort! its good the way it is. #only flaw i would say it had: The AC was dripping water inside the room occasionally. This needs to be dealt with
i liked the facility as a whole. the private beach was in low tide so the water was quite distant. But still beautiful the road to the property was narrow. so cars could not pass to and from simultaneously. but still i did not feel it was a hassle. any beautiful place is secluded and requires effort. personal note to keep the island beautiful and clean: i encourage the travelers and the tourist to bring their own water bottles and fill them up from the dispenser instead of buying packaged drinking water#carry your own bags instead of plastic bags#you can return to the hotel and throw all your used wrappers.#carry your own bamboo/metal straw instead of using paper straws#let us all be sensible travelers

IndiaThe linen were poor, there were no liquid handwash in the bathroom. The washroom in the dining area stinks like it’s never been cleaned. Food is not good and expensive. The property doesn’t have umbrellas, no proper first aid materials. The property also doesn’t provide WiFi if that is something which matters.
The property is pretty big, close to the Jetty. Staffs at the restaurant are nice.

IndiaFood was poor. Room was okay but does not worth 13000 a night. Max 3000-4000 is okay. Property is very old and managers operate it from Port Blair. It has good ocean view. Basic Room amenities such as geyser were non operational. Pool was very dirty. Overall this does not worth more than 5000 per day at max.
Ocean view space and room interiors.

IndiaWe had a very poor experience at Silver sands Neil island resort where we stayed for 2 nights—Dec 30 and Dec 31, 2021.To begin with, we were not given the rooms we had paid for. We were given a lower category room, and the rooms were not clean—it was dusty, I saw cobwebs and the linen was dirty. But what appalled us the most is the hygiene factors the hotel displayed especially during COVID times. None of the staff wore masks and there were no sanitizers in the rooms as per protocol. The worst shock we got was when the staff came to clean our rooms. The staff used a dust cloth to dust the table, chair, and other parts of the room and finally used the same cloth to clean the inside of the kettle, teacups, glasses and spoon. Silver sands Neil island standards are quite low. We stayed in other hotels in Andaman and all of them were quite good, except Silver sands Neil island. I hope the management looks into these issues.
Proximity to the beach

IndiaThis is a terrible hotel! It's overpriced, has terrible service and food, and the rooms are dirty. I really regret booking this hotel. I don't know how they haven't shut down. Forget COVID norms and precautions, they don't even adhere to basic standards of hygiene in this hotel. Here are the details: - Rooms were dirty and disgusting! The sheets were not changed and had stains on them (See picture). Also, the room was filled with mosquitoes and lizards. The fridge constantly made loud noises that sounded like a generator when switched on. When we asked the staff to look into the matter or change the mini-fridge, they said it's because the fridge is kept inside an enclosed/ encased cabinet. But isn't that how all hotels keep mini-fridges in the rooms? They then suggested that we keep the door to the cupboard open - which would leave no room to walk in across the room. I have a video as proof of this, but unfortunately, booking.com allows only photos to be uploaded here, so I can't upload the video. Anyway, they basically didn't help with it till we spoke to the Manager. - Bathroom is spacious but was again dirty. There was fungus on the ceiling! See picture. - Food was terrible and inedible. On our first day here, we ordered 2 teas and 1 sandwich for snacks. After an hour the restaurant called to say that they can't prepare it because they are busy preparing for the dinner buffet. - Service does not exist. Some of the staff try to help, but the hotel just does not have the basic facilities nor the capacity to provide services that guests need. We had initially booked our stay for 3 nights here but had to check out earlier and book another hotel last minute so that our new years holiday is not ruined here.
