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.).

IndiaThe bathroom requires more thorough cleaning, The toilet flush isn't functioning properly in my room number 215 and there's a persistent musty odor in the room. If you booked through Booking.com, they keep messaging you for advance confirmation; otherwise, your booking confirmation won't be done. I don’t know why my credit card details were there to block the amount.
The location is excellent, and the on-site café and bar were wonderful additions to the experience. My room was spacious and comfortable, with beautiful large windows offering lovely garden views.

IndiaBed mattress needs to be changed. The springs are old and the mattress sinks way too much making it uncomfortable. Power plug points need to be changed to accommodate mobile and laptop chargers. Washroom has water logging on the floor. The incline is not proper towards the outlet.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food and service is great. The attached balcony is a great place to relax.

IndiaRooms require proper renovation, the furniture was too antique. Bathroom also require proper renovation. There was no bathing stool or stand, there was either spout or head shower, which made it difficult to bath as they didn't provide shower cap or bucket. Towels were not so good ass one cannot wipe their wet body as it did not soak water.
Breakfast was good spread but muffins and croissants though eggless were too hard. We are pure vegetarians and we have eggless confectionery around so in that comparison it was not too good. they can have more fresh fruits and fresh juices.

IndiaThe breakfast buffet was below my expectation, poor maintenance of washroom in my room was a turn off, room was not maintained same as illustrated in the images and the cost of luxury room was bit on higher side compared to what I received.
The hotel is a former palace that gives a nice overall vibe to the place, there is a boutique available inside the hotel with reasonably priced handcrafted products and the hotel staff is very courteous.

IndiaNothing to dislike. Everything was in order. One of the rooms had an issue with the hair dryer and we spoke to housekeeping about it and it was replaced soon.
Very good rooms with all basic amenities provided. Breakfast was also nice with a lot of options to choose from and every day one or 2 new options were added. Pool and Spa were equally good and refreshing. Very close to Varanasi railway station platform 9.
