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.).

NepalFantastic location right on the riverbanks. The guy who runs the restaurant is super nice. On my last day, I was the only one in the restaurant around 9 am. He said, "Come quick!" We went out a back door from the hotel and there was a rhino right there just a few meters away! He comes to town regularly to eat grass and other stuff because he doesn't get chased away by other rhinos who are territorial. All the staff was really nice. I had a big problem with my booking through Agoda, yet the manager was really calm and cool through the whole ordeal. I was on the phone with Agoda customer service for over an hour, and he was really nice about it, trying to find my reservation in the Agoda system over and over again. It turned out that the agent in China who sold the room made a mistake, so it was no fault of this hotel. The hotel manager called a tuk-tuk to rush me to my plane as all this time on the phone with Agoda made me nearly miss my plane. I can't say enough good things about the staff and location of this hotel. Oh, and the breakfast is really nice too. Lots of great service with a smile.

CanadaThe breakfast was disappointing. More fresh fruit would have been great. The quality of the internet was shotty...sometimes it worked fine, other times not.
The staff were outstanding. Very helpful for organizing activites for us. The location, right by the river, is exceptionnal as the rhinos, come very close. The room was comfortable as well.

The location directly at the river was amazing, for a welcome we saw a rhino and a crocodile. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We also booked a safari tour there and they are very knowledgable. Would do this again.

IrelandVery good value for money. The resort has an amazing location in front of the river and at same time is just few minutes walking to the town of Sauraha, with all shops,restaurants and bars for going out evening time. The whole staff has been very welcoming and helpful, was taking care of me constantly during and also before my stay. They organised for me perfectly the free pickups to and from the Sauraha bus station and also my daily trips for good price, such jeep safari and walking tour, with tours guides very well prepared. Breakfast and restaurant service are also very good. The rooms are spacious and clean,with all conforts and a great river view.

United KingdomIt’s a nitpick, but the internet didn’t work in our room. This was a minor inconvenience at best - the hotel is amazing and we spent almost all our time outdoors anyway.
The location is absolutely amazing. Half an hour after we arrived we saw a rhino wandering along the river about 50 metres away. The staff were so friendly and helpful - not only pointing out and naming all the wildlife, but in arranging everything we needed to make the most of our stay.

Right on the river. You can see animals across the water if you are lucky. Easy 10 minute walk into town both via the river walkway of the main street. Wifi worked well, included breakfast was yummy. They also picked us up from the bus station and dropped us off - a service I really appreciated. You can book tours from them.

PolandWater was lukewarm at best under shower. I was served raw chicken in restaurant - imporant to mention staff acted very quickly and returned order without issue. Breakfast was included, unfortunatelly options were really limited and toasts were gummy.
Great location, I was able to see rhino and elephant from restaurant balcony. Amazing guides, comfy bed and spacious room.

GermanyShower was difficult to handle to get warm warm water but we found a strategy not to waste that much water.
Resort in the middle of nature. It was so amazing and relaxing after experiencing the city of Kathmandu. Staff very friendly and supporting. Hotel organised all the trips into the wildlife and bus services. Free shuttle from the bus station. We would recommend it if you need a simple resort in the national park.

IndiaWhatever I am going to write is not really a con for this property, however travellers need to know for properly enjoying their time in Chitwan. In winter season the whole area is covered with dense fog which gets clear only around 10-11 am. So people planning for morning safari will not enjoy mostly however Evening safari specially on elephant ride should provide better animal viewing opportunity.
Location is right on river bank. On a good day travellers can see wild animals drinking water. Rooms were good. Breakfast was sumptuous (toast, omlet, sausage, pancake etc) Staff are helpful and they organize jungle safari

United StatesHot water and TV were slightly hard to toggle but the staff helped out. The prices they quoted us for the activities were also more expensive than other vendors. The power plugs in the room were also in inconvenient locations
Very good service and staff were exceptional help. Very good location overlooking the river but it was misty in the winter so could not see the animals. Comfortable and resolved all our problems
