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 KingdomThe host at Caravan Sarai was incredibly helpful. Khiva was my first destination on my trip through Uzbekistan and he sorted me out with a SIM card, train tickets for onward journey and a wonderful guide in Khiva. The property was very centrally located and comfortable, perfect stay in Khiva.

SwedenBecause its an converted old building you have to accept that the door frames are very low .... Watch your head!
Much bigger room than I expcted in a prime location near the West Gate of Khiva Old Town. Really wonderful place in a historic building, very polite and helpful staff and owners, very comfortable bed, good WiFi, lovely courtyard, very good breakfast buffet, restaurants and shops nearby. Very good value for money and I can definitely recommend to stay here when visiting Khiva. I arrived at 8am and they offerd an extra breakfast for 50 000 Som and an early check for 10$ , I declined and they let me check in free at 12am ....

The hotel is in an old female madrasah, sleeping in the old madrasah classroom is so unique an experience. The owners are velp polite and helpful, helped us find a very good car driver for our trip to Nukus. Breakfast is good enough for the price. It's the best experience during our trip in Uzbekistan.

Czech RepublicIf you look for an accomodation with an old spirit close to the old town of Khiva, close to the shops where beer is sold, and close to a good restaurant, this will be your choice. Staying in the cell of an old Medressa is amazing, as well as the breakfast under the dome. Personnel was friendly, helpful and nice, location superb, and the atmosphere and feeling impeccable.

United KingdomWhen you come to a country like Uzbekistan, this is the type of accommodation for an authentically local hospitality experience in a historically significant building. Originally a girl’s madrasa, the feel of the place is reminiscent of the better Portuguese pousadas, but quintessentially Central Asian in character. We picked this hotel because my cousin had stayed here a few years ago and recommended it highly. Our room was basic, clean and quite spacious, with the changing area and bathroom set apart in a separate section. Stepping out into that rustic courtyard is a pleasure for the soul and amazing place to wake up to! The breakfast spread was good. The manager Babur was friendly and helpful and always smiling. When my wife became ill from something she had eaten, he personally organised a bowl of freshly cooked rice for her and recommended we focus on a green tea regime until she was better. This is a must-try choice if you are looking for an authentic, no-frills hotel which is memorable in all the best ways and only a stone’s throw from the West Gate of the city.

MauritiusRoom entrance as well as bathroom door have low ceilings and thus slightly inconvenient for tall people who have to be careful but this seems typical of old madrassah rooms. One of the staff appeared unfriendly
Very well located just outside the old town, almost facing the Western gate which seems to be the main entrance to the old town. Ticket office located between hotel and gate. There are two supermarkets nearby, towards the Nurullaboy Palace, where you can stock up on groceries at normal prices. The rooms in this former madrassah have been nicely renovated and decorated. Buffet breakfast with lots of fruits. One of the staff was very helpful and organised all my transport for sightseeing and airport.

IndiaThere was nothing to complain about the place.
Excellent location -- just opposite to the main gate of the old city. As it's an old caravan sarai -- turned into a guesthouse, it has the charm. The staff -- two brothers Timur and Babar -- both spoke English and were always there to help. They took care of my own specific needs to visiting a certain area a few kilometres outside the city too for a reasonable rate.
