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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

IndiaIt was a lovely experience in Srinagar with my wife. Did not regret booking here. Restroom was as clean as a new one. Sameer, the landlord was polite, friendly and really helpful in every possible way. He referred a person for shikara ride who offered me a reasonable price and he was interactive and patient throughout the ride. Highly recommend this place.

United KingdomThere was nothing.
Hotel Crescent is an exceptional family run hotel. From the first communications with Sameer - the manager, I knew I had chosen the right place to stay. He arranged pick up from the airport and was waiting for me on the main road to carry my bag to the hotel! The hotel is situated on the banks of the lake, but on a quieter road. There are many local families that live here, and it’s lovely seeing the children playing games on the street. The nearby busier area of the lake - ghat number 1 - is only a 5 minute walk, but it’s super busy and only hotels and Shikara (boat) ride sellers are there. This location is perfect as it’s away from traffic (no cars near the hotel) and therefore away from noise too. All you hear are the peaceful birds and calls to prayer. The rooms are beautiful - big, spacious and clean which is the most important thing for me. Although no AC, the fan is more than enough for the hot august weather, so don’t let that put you off. Bathrooms are great, hot water 24/7 and towels, toiletries etc all provided. Even slippers! I got a free room upgrade too, but both rooms have fabulous views overlooking the river. You can see the Shikaras and local fishermen rowing past throughout the day. The menu for the hotel is amazing, available whenever you want anything, and freshly cooked to order by his family who live behind the hotel. There are lots of things to do here in Srinagar and it can be quite overwhelming, but Sameer was amazing at helping me plan some activities etc. He is very knowledgeable about the best things to do and has a lot of contacts. You can just sit back and relax and let him sort everything out. He even drove me to a few places himself which was very kind. I did 2 shikara rides through him with Altaf, who is a wonderful man. It was more like a tour - we had great conversation and I learned a lot from him about local life and culture. Stay here - you won’t regret it! I will definitely be returning for my next trip!

It was our 2nd time that we rebooked this property to stay in Srinagar. Smooth Check In while picking us from Ghat No 1 till Hotel Crescent. A free Shutter service Shikara was provided especially for our Check In & Check Out which was really helpful as we were travelling with huge luggages in Kashmir. As usual rooms were quite clean, spacious and presentable. It’s a best property located on the bank of Dal Lake. We had the best experience here. The staff is really helpful. I highly recommend this place for it's Impeccable Service & Hospitality. So, overall it's a great stay not only because of the location, service and view but also because of the personal care and attention provided by the staff at the hotel. It was really commendable and will definitely make me visit there third time.

Our stay at the Hotel Crescent on Dal Lake was nothing short of magical. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning location and the serene beauty of the lake surrounded by majestic mountains. The hotel had a beautifully decorated rooms with spacious tidy washrooms. Room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered breathtaking views of the lake and mountain. The service we received was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always attentive, friendly, and ready to assist with any request. The cooked meals served In Room Dinning were delicious and gave us a true taste of local Kashmiri cuisine. What truly set this experience apart were the little touches and the attention to detail. From the cozy decor to the thoughtful amenities provided, everything was designed to make us feel good. The hotel’s surroundings were equally impressive. We enjoyed leisurely shikara rides, exploring the local markets, and simply relaxing in the room, taking in the peaceful ambiance and stunning sunrise over Dal Lake. In summary, this hotel offers a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic local experience. The beautiful rooms, excellent location, outstanding service, and wonderful staff made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and serene getaway on Dal Lake.

IndiaHousekeeping staff needs training. Power cuts are frequent but reliable back up makes up for it. It’d be great if one regular power outlet had power back up too, preferably close to the bed, thanks!
Good location, facing the lake, close to Boulevard Road. Big windows, lots of light and air, you will see Shikaras floating by regularly. Regular water supply including hot water, big geyser. Tons of complimentary welcome kit items. Power back up for fan, lights, and USB charging. Small shops nearby including a fresh Kashmiri bread shop.

IndiaOnly thing was we have to walk a little through the dal gate walk way , if you like to walk a little, its too good to watch scenic beauty of dal lake and life of local kasmiris
First is the exceptional view from the hotel room on winters. We came for a 5N 4D kashmir trip and we just planned to try Hotel Cresent for the first 1N stay. Started with shikara ride to hotel, while reached Dal gate ghat No 1, After experiencing the exceptional service from hotel staff and the cleaniness, we fixed to go ahead with the hotel cresent for whole stay in kashmir. Our First time in Indian hotel visits, we experienced the hotel staff was one or two seconds away from replying to our needs while staying there. (Exceptional) Worth for the money in kashmir : No doubt Room Heater facilities were so comfortable and they provided Electric blankets which were very essential if you are coming in winters. Thankyou Hotel cresent and their staffs for always reachable to support us while staying in your property
