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.).

South AfricaWhen we checked in we were told that we booked an owners apartment therefore we were not eligible for breakfast. When we booked, the reason we were attracted to the apartment was that it was being marketed as an apartment under the Taj, it was not marketed as an owners apartment therefore we did not expect to be treated differently from other guests. Some of the furniture in the apartment was damaged and required repairs, I.e., the armchair was torn and the coffee table glass was moving out of place which took some of the "luxury" out of our experience. The booking link should be clear on the issue of the apartment being an owners apartment and what that entails to avoid guests being misled.
Great environment, clean, attentive staff, good food

My booking included breakfast but the hotel had no knowledge of breakfast inclusion. I had to provide proof that my booking included breakfast. Akhona was able assist me and I was able to enjoy breakfast.

United KingdomOur stay at Taj was excellent. We booked through Booking.com almost a year in advance (travelled February 2023) and all was in order with our booking from start to finish. As it was part of our belated honeymoon I wanted to surprise my wife with Champagne and flowers and this was all arranged with the marvellous help of Kobos ( 'K') who arranged all of the above as well as a private car to collect us from the airport. Nothing was too much trouble for 'K' and the expression of delight on my wife's face when she arrived said it all. I cannot thank 'K' or the hotel for everything they did and how much they all did to make our stay memoroable. MR

JapanA small problem which is not unusual in such an old building that poor drain in a shower room turns out flooding over the bath room in my suit. Disappointing since your customer expects perfect service at Taj.
Friendly staff, clean room, excellent bed and furniture in a heritage building with great safety.

South AfricaSecond stay here. Everything is amazing. Super comfortable 5* Taj hospitality. It’s just like being in the Taj Hotel, but being an apartment, there are more facilities and it’s ideal for 2 couples or, as it was in our case, three sisters. Far better option than booking two hotel rooms. Nice sitting room and kitchen with loads of appliances and the convenience of being able to prepare meals, although we only used the microwave over for heating milk for coffee! Helpful manager (Kobus) and of course, all the Taj staff are amazing. Great location, highly recommended.
