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 KingdomWhile the hotel and the amenities are excellent, the hotel is starting to show signs of aging, and a proper deep clean in bathrooms and carpets could go a long way. The rooms can be noisy if you are on the side of the mosque, which has its first call to prayer at 5.30 in the morning.
This is without a doubt one of the top 3 hotels within the Pondicherry city limits. Especially if you don't want to stay in a heritage property using old furniture etc. The hotel is modern and has lovely amenities, the gym and pool stand out to be in excellent condition and very clean. The spa is good, albeit somewhat costly for the local prices. The thing that really sets this hotel apart, is the staff, we were extremely impressed with their helpfulness and ability to make things happen for us. Highly recommended for a pondy stay!

SwitzerlandRooms especially bathrooms could be cleaner. Bathroom fittings are on 3 star level and looked a bit old already. For light sleepers the hotel is not ideal as you hear the street noise despite soundproofing.
Spacious modern rooms. Excellent dinner and breakfast buffet with tasty food and large choice. Wonderful staff at reception. Lobby and Restaurant looked still new and fresh with pleasant cool air and nice fragrance. Rooms comfortable with lovely light options.

Staff is very courteous and helpful. Location is perfect. Literally within 10-20 minutes, it is from all the tourist attractions. Though it's on a busy main street, the rooms were quite cozy and quiet. It is exactly same as depicted in pictures.

IndiaA bit expensive compared to other hotels. Only wallet parking option. Saw the attender driving my car very fast and rough to the back. It's a carefully maintained car and it felt bad. Also as per the notee don't take accountability for damages. So it's better not come come here if u are on car.

IndiaWe had booked 2 rooms for the 3 days, and they didn’t let us check in till we made an upfront payment and the staff could have dealt it with better.
If you are looking at a property for a family stay, it is recommended to stay here. Facilities are nice, and the food is pretty good. Service of the staff is also worth mentioning, however they need to be mentored more to deal with customers to make it same as other five star properties. Rajni at help desk is quite helpful.

Australia1) Unless requested, room was not cleaned and towels not replaced. 2) Wifi was dreadful. It kept erroring out. Had to get the staff to fix it several times. Had to hotspot my laptop to my phone SIM, in sheer frustration. 3) I had nominated my Citibank AUD debit Mastercard when I did the booking. This was as I understood it, meant to be an assurance for the hotel. When I checked in, the card was quietly debited for the total cost for 4 nights, without me being warned or informed. When I checked out I got to know about this. This was unethical and discourteous. The client should always be informed before his card is debited. I was particularly upset because, I had transferred enough money into my SBI INR account so I could make the payment out of that account. It turned out that I was not given a choice, the hotel quietly debited my debit Mastercard in AUD, which has given me a worse exchange rate. This left a bitter taste when we checked out.
Breakfast was superb.
