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.).

United KingdomWaiting staff could do with being a bit more organised and attentive particularly compared to other hotels we stayed in Asia but on the whole not bad!
Beautifully decorated boutique feel to the hotel. Lovely pool and grounds right in the centre of Varanasi but out of the hustle and bustle and felt very safe. Great food choices and reception staff were outstanding.

United StatesWedding receptions and special events can be loud and a little disruptive if you are on the back side of the hotel. However, an un-asked for foot soak at 9pm more than made up for it, and we were so tired the wedding music did not disturb our rest!
Taj hospitality at a reasonable price! Every need is anticipated, the staff is welcoming, warm and friendly and exceptionally attentive. A special mention to Ravi at the spa - he accommodated our last minute request for spa services and worked with our tight schedule, all as if it was no trouble at all! He also gave me the recipe for the Spa’s detox tea - and this I won’t forget! The buffet restaurant is very good, but Veruna is top notch - excellent food and service, especially Vek, who was our waiter and suggested an Italian gin that was quite good. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

United StatesAlthough it was not Hotel's fault, the traffic in Varanasi was suffocating. Choking traffic diluted the divine feeling of Viswanath temple and serenity of Taj hotel.
Typical Taj hospitality with excellence. Pleasant surprise of Republic Day celebration with Flag hoisting! staff were fantastic. Food is a little bland for South Indian tongue. Live music was invigorating and appropriate for elegant dining. Taj is never disappointing
