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 KingdomHonestly it was excellent, maybe the only thing was inconsistent hot water in the dorm rooms.
One of the most peaceful locations I’ve stayed in during my travels through India. The view and location is simply unmatched peace, looking directly into Chokling Monastery with the foothills of the Himalayas to your right. The property itself is exceptionally well maintained, clean, artistically decorated and with more than helpful staff. Silk Road Cafe on true top floor has spotless service ran by Anna is also top notch and a great chill out zone! Clean, spacious dorm room with super comfy mattresses. Cutest dogs around the property too! Will definitely be staying again if I return to Bir.

United StatesThe barking dogs kept me up the first night. After that I got ear plugs and slept quite well. Also, it was an unexpected problem that when we wanted to add a room we could not use credit cards to pay for it. Communication was also difficult at times. We worked it all out in the end, but it did require spending more cash than we had anticipated.
The location could not be better. The room I had was comfortable and spacious. Although originally presented as a room to sleep three, two were all it could have held comfortably. I ended having it to myself, though, and it was perfect. With a sofa and two chairs it became a gathering place for the others of my group staying there. Perfect.

Czech Republicmaybe quieter fireworks in Diwali week!
This is an a lovely location, in the heart of Bir colony but down a quiet lane with wonderful views to the frosted mountains and the monastery with its line of stupas and mani stones. The staff are especially warm, friendly, helpful & the manager was exceptionally understanding, patient & practically helpful regarding a banking error that affected my online payment. I had a room with mountain views for the first week and then a room on the East side which was shaded and quiter and cosy, both had huge comfy beds & nice arty decor. The rooms are very spacious and the outside verandah is too with plenty of seating plus a large sunny rootop cafe area. Guests were mostly paragliders and some pilgrims touring monasteries and courses, & the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed.

IndiaThe cafe could have an elaborate menu.
Chokling Arthouse is one of the best stays in Bir. The mountain, the lush green scenery, and the monastery is breathtaking. The hospitality is amazing. They made my solo trip super easy. To add a cherry on the cake, they arranged for paragliding, and the experience was out of the world. I would definitely come and stay here for sure

United StatesSometimes I could smell smoke in the hallway. But I mentioned it to the manager and he helped change the situation and was respectable in the interaction
The room was great. Very spacious two twin beds. I paid half full room cost for a single bed meaning the other bed could be booked by anyone. I think this is a nice way to accomodate solo travelers. Thanks.
