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 StatesThere could be a better wifi access system for guests in the lobby. Sometimes guests have checked-in, but do not have wifi access because their room is not yet ready. Sometimes guests have checked-out, but need wifi in the lobby as they wait to depart the hotel. There should be a system in place to provide these guests with wifi. Also, the steam room was not working properly—although it showed it was 'on', there was no steam. Great gym (but wish it could be open longer!)
Rohit at the front desk was exceptionally helpful, and even accommodated us with a free upgrade to a pool-facing room for our one-night stay. Thank you so much, Rohit! You really made our stay at Vivanta special.

United Kingdom-> We had a room facing OMR, hence it is noisy all the time, even though the sound proof glasses are there, but still it is noisy. -> It is TAJ property, so I expect 100% all around maintenance, I do see the broken furniture in swimming pool, room flooring is too old, as the doors which felt like we are in some old building. -> Seating arrangement in restaurant for breakfast is less space, hence missing our privacy in there. They could put two people seating in the middle row, and four people over the corners to get some space around. -> Staff all are more into their tasks, and not spending time with guests in breakfast area, as we travel around alot, we tend to speak with staff as our friends, except here all the places we had a good chat with all the staff, discuss their interests, talk about their hometown etc etc, but here staff tend to cut short and jump to their tasks. This gives us an impression that we are in some tensed area.
People , Very good Staff, Great support all round. Senthil Kumar from front desk, provided a pleasant check in and check out experience. Staff in restaurant for breakfast were hard working with smiley face, people we met Priyashana, Abigail, Santu, Priti, Liya all were exceptionally hardworking. Swimming pool was good, temperature is little cold, but the chlorine level was well maintained.
