Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IndiaService could be better Mandatory things like towel, dental kit, coffee powder, everything is only served (very late) only on our request. No response to housekeeping, Only communication is through reception. Coffee/tea is served cold all the time. Drinking Water is chargeable. No play area for kids to entertain.
The distance & food is good(but too expensive for the quality)

IndiaDidn't have compliment Breakfast for the same tariff. That's due to i have gone through Booking.com which is worst. Next time will prefer to book directly through the hotel . And also Hotel Mahabs should not allow or encourage such tariff without complimentary ,which will spoil the reputation
I like the hotel Mahabs .my stay was pleasant and enjoyable

IndiaThe hotel person having particularly white hair is too rude. He doesn't know how to behave with Indian Customers. Hotel welcomes only the foreigners, we Indians are treated like they are living free of cost. Hotel is interested that swimming pool is to be used exclusively by the Foreigners. Indians pay the rent for accommodation but are treated like they are of before 1945. Very bitter experience, always think about self-respect before going to this property. We are still in the era of before Independence here.

United KingdomAlways use booking (or any other booking platform). Booked 1 night through booking and once my plans changed booked another night with them. They said it would be the same price as the one through booking. On the checkout they charged more for the second night and said they have included breakfast - which I didn't want neither take. There's no internet connection in the room, you have to get outside to have internet connection. No toiletries provided so bring your own soap, shampoo and shower gel

IndiaThe room was very good. Property looks similar as shown in picture. No food was made available. Only available thing was fried rice. Also they just provide 1Ltr water everyday per room otherwise you have to pay 25 RS per ltr. The food is very bad. At the breakfast it is compulsory to get buffet. You can not order individual food. At the buffet if you reach by 9 so many things will be finished or unavailable.

GermanyRoom was moist and moldy and it smelled very bad. Facilities in the bathrooms were broken. The water in the pool was green and murky. Definitely not safe to use. The older men at reception were quite saucy.
The property is centrally located close to the main sights and many restaurants.
