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...).

IndiaThough the rooms were spacious with all amenities the bathroom had some issues. The drainage was partially clogged leading to water lodging inside bathroom. Also power disruption happened couple of times during stay and backup did not kick in instantaneously. Be prepared to stay in darkness for a while. Restaurant charges seemed to be not value for money as the rates felt highly overpriced.
Excellent property from Taj in Coonor. An old mansion expanded and upgraded to luxury hotel. We stayed in Deluxe room and was spacious to accomodate a family of 4. The buffet breakfast which was complimentary had wide spread of items. Property is strategically located and away from traffic and noise. The staff from front office, through restaurant to housekeeping always welcome you with a smile are were really welcoming and available at service. Worth mentioning the help and guidance extended by Management trainee Subhakesh. He was very cordial, guided and even walked us to some nearby attractions outside property. He explained the history of mansion and helped us plan our itinerary during our stay at the property.

IndiaThe lawn, the bonfire, the walk at night during misty night (we stayed for 2 nights and it rained both nights - amazing experience). The staff is very polite and helpful. They have a small activity room with a pool table, carrom and a TT table which is OK. My kid was very excited, playing with the ducks and swings. Food was good in quality and taste. Of course not as lavish as a 5 star.

IndiaThe hotel needs more staff to suffice the demand
I stayed in hotel Gateway Coonoor, Tamil Nadu accompanying my elderly parents from 12-14 April 2024. I am happy with staying in this heritage hotel and really felt privileged to be a part of the history. As the campus started in the year 1857 and after several changes of ownerships Taj group owned the property in 1990. I liked the hotel because the Taj group maintained the sprawling old campus splendidly keeping the heritage and historical background keeping old trees, nurturing shrubs and grasses flanked with gardens with blossomed flowers of various hues. Apart from it the view of the surrounding hills from the hotel is splendid and celestial. Interestingly the Guest room allotted to me was in a typical colonial type bangalow which was built in 1929 . I liked the Room as it has a entrance hall with wall to wall French glass windows and rich furnishing. Main bedroom was very spacious separated from the hall by a French glass door. Elegantly furnished with white marble topped furniture. The room decoration was simple but very elegant. Wash room was large and richly finished. Food was good and tasty. Complementary buffet breakfast was good with large no of spread of food items. Staffs were cordial. However Hotel Service requires little bit attention of the management.

IndiaThe Best Taj we've stayed at!! We experienced the Real Taj Hospitality.. Everything and everyone was absolutely fantastic! We travelled with our pet for whom the hotel provided a bed , pillow ,duvet and a bowl..Thankyou.. It was very heart warming to see a true pet friendly place . We also travelled with our parents who were very comfortable and loved the evening Bonfire. The food , Restaurant decor and service was excellent and had a personal touch. We forgot something in the room which was found by housekeeping during cleaning. The hotel mailed it to our home address and didn't let me pay for the courier charges even after insisting on paying.. Thank you for making our trip so memorable and comfortable. We will definitely visit again!

IndiaThe gym can be better. There's only one restaurant, an additional bar or Bistro could be added. No buffet dinner or lunch was available
We got a free upgrade. The room 303 is so spacious, the bathroom alone is like a bedroom. Free use of pool and table tennis, a nice library, and some carrom and chess make good recreational opportunity. An excellent cafeteria and restaurant is within walking distance from the property. Staff are nice and friendly.
