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.).

SpainEverything has been great! The staff is very attentive at reception and in the restaurant. They provide you safaris excursions with Raj who is an expert in the jungle. The facilities are very good and they are making improvements in the swiming pool area. The room is spacious ,comfortable bed, AC and hot water work well. We decided to stay one more night because we felt relaxed.

GermanyFelt or cork under the chair legs would make your stay in the restaurant even quieter and more pleasant.
Friendly and competent. The staff knew what guests needed and were very attentive without being intrusive. Very environmentally conscious, for example water in glass bottles, paper bags instead of plastic... Above all, the cleanliness is impressive. Five places, five hotels in Nepal – Aikawa was definitely the best.

IndiaUpon examining this property from top to bottom, nothing stands out that is not being dealt with and deserves to be mentioned as a dislike.
From start to finish, they were absolute professionals. Nothing was too much trouble, and they paid close attention to detail during our stay. Complimentary transportation on arrival and departure to the bus station was also provided, in addition to a cultural event we attended in town. On all occasions, the offer made was not requested. They organised all the tickets, a Chitwan National Park jeep, and walking safaris at competitive prices. We received two room upgrades during our seven-day stay. The quality of the buffet breakfast and the luxury of sitting outside with the rice fields as your vista is quite delightful. They have created a lovely ambience for a new build within its setting. They are still working on finishing the external garden area and gym, and this work in progress did not create any excessive noise. The location is very authentically charming. For example, an elephant is parked just down the road, and local children are playing in the rice fields. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the bedding is well set up with entertainment, TV and internet, both fast and numerous powerpoints. Bathrooms smell and look clean, and hot water is plentiful. A spa bath in the suite is excellent kindness therapy for your body after a long walk in the jungle. Entrance to rooms via keycards can have multiple if required. If you have any concerns, please engage with the staff. They will do their best to remedy any quickly and to your satisfaction.

SwedenThe yard was under construction but there were no disturbing sounds or anything so it didn't affect our stay and I am sure it will look very pretty when finished.
We had a beautiful stay at Hotel Aikawa. The facilities are new and clean. The restaurant overlooked the pretty rice fields and it was very close to the restaurants in Sauraha. We were impressed by the staff who were all very helpful and professional. When we where there they were celebrating that they had aquired another star for their rating and we were invited to the celebrations where we had really good Nepali food. Overall we had an excellent stay and it was well worth the price.

United StatesThere was nothing I did not like about the hotel. The only thing I can say that’s negative in the least is the restaurant is good, but not great. Their dishes were all cooked with too much salt. Not enough salt to ruin them, but enough that you were conscious of the fact that there was too much salt.
The property is exceptionally clean and the staff is very attentive (almost too attentive for my tastes, but hey, that’s just me). They left absolutely no stone unturned when catering to me. It was a little too chilly to swim, but the pool is very nice.

AustraliaThe staffs were very friendly and specially, Mr Milan in the front office. They arranged our safari itinerary and the nature guide was amazing. The food was so good with an open kitchen that I’m currently feeling like going back. The room is well equipped and super comfortable. They have a spa called Ai Spa and the spa session was amazing. The sauna in the end helped me relax and relieve all my stress. They have a coffee shop names Ai Cafe. The coffee was so good that the entire lobby was aromatic. They have a garden in the making which sounds like an unique plan. The communication of staffs, the hospitality and service are over the top. Definitely will recommend.

It’s a new build with contemporary decor. Our room was super clean and comfortable - fast WIFI, on-demand hot showers, soft towels, comfortable firm bed with nice linens, great food. Overall the hotel was very nice, and the service from the staff was exceptional. Everyone from the cleaners, to security, to restaurant staff was polite and always ready to help.

United StatesThere seemed to be a few quirks with electricity, which meant brief periods of no electricity, but I'm not sure this was due to external problems or internal. In any case, generators kicked in when there were issues.
I had an amazing stay at Hotel Aikawa which is a new hotel in an area where there are dozens of options for tourist lodging. Since I was the only guest at the time due to being new, I had the full attention of the large staff. They were amazingly helpful and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. I cannot say enough good things about these people. The hotel itself is modern, with superb design and everything I needed.

As a solo female traveller, safety and avoiding harassment are always my primary concern. I felt very safe staying hotel and the staffs were super respectful.

Thank you and I will be back for sure.
