Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere is nothing at all that I did not like about this property or my stay here
My granddaughter and I stayed at Buddah Abode in April 2025. My granddaughter is used to 5* hotels when she is with her parents and this hotel did not disappoint her. It is very clean, our balcony had the best views of all Dharmsala. You can order food to your room, the owner is helpful and arranged our taxi. The staff here are courteous, very respectful and go above and beyond. This hotel is within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and I would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again in the future. I was surprised to find this gem in Mc Leod ganj. We stayed for 5 nights but wish it was longer.

Great location - the best to experience McLeod Ganj. Our room was well appointed, very spacious and had the most beautiful views up to the mountains. Great position with easy access to everything we wanted. The manager Rakesh Kumar went out of his way to help us enjoy our stay in McLeod Ganj. He organised taxis for our excursions around McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala and for our trip to Shimla. The owner, Lucky Bhat, was very friendly and always made sure we were enjoying our stay.

AustraliaLocation: The hotel is perfectly situation in the heart of McLeod Ganj (Main Square) and within 10 minutes walking distance of Dalai Lama's Temple. Shops and restaurants are just below the hotel and it's very convenient to walk around. Service: The owner, Lucky Ji was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He went out of his way to ensure every details of our stay was perfect even before we checked in. When he found out that we needed help to move from our previous hotel to here, he kindly offered us a complementary taxi to pick us up. You could tell Lucky Ji genuinely care about his guests. Room and amenities: Our room was clean, comfortable, spacious and has a balcony with beautiful mountain view. The room also came with a nice smart TV, slippers, toiletries (including toothbrush), and a spare blanket. These amenities were thoughtful and included everything one could need for a comfortable stay. We felt relaxed and happy to stay here. Overall Experience: This hotel exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It's prime location, comfortable room and bed with a big bathroom and hot shower, thoughtful touches, and great customer services all make it a standout choice. This was our first stay at this hotel and it won't be our last. We look forwards to staying here again on our next trip in 2025!
