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...).

United KingdomThe basic rooms are rather disappointing and somewhat remote from the main facilities although are spacious. I think a suite would be much better.
The hotel is very impressive, lovely facilities for example the dining room, pool area and being able to walk through the City Palace at night returning to the hotel is amazing. The Jagmandir Island restaurant on Pichola Lake (part of the hotel) is well worth a trip to.

AustraliaIt's a little bit of a trek getting in and out of the hotel as it's on a hill and within the high-security palace grounds. The hotel provides a complimentary buggy service to the palace gates until 11 pm, which is thoughtful. The rooms are dated, and the whole property has an old-world charm, so don’t expect many modern amenities, but everything worked as it should. The restaurant offers a great dining experience, though it is quite expensive. If you’re on a budget, you’re not missing out on much—especially since you can still take stunning photos when visiting the publicly accessible areas of the palace. Additionally, there are no lake views, only city views, and the rooms aren’t particularly spacious.
If you want to experience staying in a palace, this is the place to be—it’s actually part of the City Palace and owned by the Royal Family. You can wander through beautiful grounds, enjoy exclusive access to certain areas only open to hotel guests, and relax by a stunning marble pool. We also had a great time playing squash and snooker.

IndiaThe information and rules can be better explained. The staff at the main city palace gate could be more courteous and better spoken when asking for identity or passes for entry. There should also be a fitness club which surprisingly wasn’t there.
The location and the rooms were very good. The staff at the hotel premises were very good and helpful.

Divali made our stay extra magic because of all the festivities, flowers and lights. We stayed in room 4 which is one of the most magic suites of the hotel. It was a bit of an investment but definitely worth it. We felt like royals
