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.).

Indiaeverything about the place was perfect. It is just a 10 minute walk to the mall road. the property is so well kept and offers such beautiful view of the city that you hardly want to leave the place. Warm and welcoming nature of the host makes the stay even better. didn't have to worry about the meals, as fresh home cooked healthy food was available at all hours on request. A care taker is also there to run errands. The place had all the amenities, well equipped kitchen, room heater, slippers, geyser. And if needed anything just had to ask the host and it was made available.

IndiaThe pros are it's cons. Rather than cons these points are just for setting up the expectations. It's a homestay, so plan accordingly as food might not be to eveyone's liking. Parking

We were fortunate to experience exceptional hospitality at Aarambhag villa in Shimla, despite the cold weather. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and warmth, adding a beautiful touch to our trip. Their homemade food was simply irresistible, and the well-maintained property boasted an amazing garden with a picturesque view. We also had the pleasure of meeting their well-trained and friendly pet dog, "Saayo." Our stay was truly memorable, and even after moving on to a 4-star hotel, we found that nothing compared to the wonderful experience we had at Aarambhag. We're grateful for the thoughtful gifts and are eagerly anticipating our next visit..

Loved the hospitality, interior, garden. The host even made a sweet gesture of hanging balloons and all for us as it was our anniversary. They made it more special. The view from the beautiful lawn was so beautiful. Having breakfast in the lawn with the panoramic view of shimla was amazing. I would recommend everyone to try this property once. You will love the hosts.

We were made to feel welcome and at home from the moment we arrived. Ritu and her family were the perfect hosts, always on hand if we needed anything, whilst also giving us our space. The self contained apartment is spotless and has such a homely feel. Plenty of space across a bedroom, living area, kitchen, bathroom and private balcony (with the perfect view to catch the sunset). In terms of location, the Mall is a short walk up the hill, while also being fair enough away from all the hustle of Shimla that the accommodation is wonderfully peaceful. We enjoyed the homemade breakfasts made by Ritu which were delicious and very reasonable, just let her know the day before. We were very sad to leave and will certainly be back.
