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.).

United KingdomNothing specific to highlight.
Breakfast was awesome, my family loved it. I was on fast and the chef made custom khichadi for me. The masala tea and filter coffee was awesome. The highlight whilst having breakfast was live flute music. The in-dining experience was also good. Delicious food. Quantity was good. Our room was spacious we asked for an extra bed, still there was enough room to move more around. Our balcony opened directly onto the beach and pool. This experience was extraordinary. My kids enjoyed the club area (played foosball, airhockey, carom, UNO). We went to Horizon where there were rabbits too, kids got to play with them and feed them.

The place has ethical Indian vibe which I absolutely loved. The food is amazing and they have multiple options for all kinds of cuisine. The beach side swimming pool is a big hit with the kids. The best thing about Taj is their hospitality which is unmatched. I felt taken care of at all times, all thanks to their wonderful staff! The hotel is beautiful and everyone must choose it if you are in Panji!

IndiaThe TAJ hospitality has a reputation which preceeds it and my experience with Cidade de goa is testament to the same. Every staff in the property is an assest and they left no stone unturned to make sure our stay was truly exceptional. Ms Muskan, Mr Veebhav, Mr Ujwal , Ms Ritika from the reception made sure our stay was remarkably comfortable. The gentlemen from the welcome desk Mr Dinesh And Mr James were very amicable and welcoming. The breakfast buffet is extremely delectable with an exhaustive spread and the attention to detail by the restaurant staff deserves a mention. The housekeeping staff are always on beck and call to make sure the rooms are kept impeccably clean with change of linens on demand. The musicians at the reception give us a taste of Goa the moment we enter. The freedom to use the facilities of both Cidade de Goa Heritage and Cidade de goa Horizon is an added advantage. I couldn't think of a better place for a leisurely holiday in GOA. Cidade de Goa is most definitely a highly recommended experience and they ensure their guests are pampered and well taken care off. Looking forward to another memorable vacay with Cidade. Keep it up

IndiaOur experience started with Muskan and ended with Muskan, ya the lovely lady who was managing the show was there to welcome us when we reached the hotel and the moment we checked out. Nikita, the Guest Relations officer was very warm, courteous and made sure we had a smooth experience throughout...starting with the checkin process to suggesting places to visit, briefing about the hotel facilities , meeting us during checkout etc. Roshan, the person serving us food at breakfast at the buffet was a such a lovely boy with a smiling face and calm demeanour even during rush hours. The chefs prepare customised love buffet items which is great! Shrinivas Ji , the flute artist took the morning breakfast buffet experience to the next level. His rendition of melodious songs , few on our request too was truly great...such soothing music anchors anyone distracted with their phones back to the holiday mode to enjoy the moment fully. One great thing about staying at Taj Cidade de Goa is that one can experience the facililties of both the Heritage and the new Horizons wing, we enjoyed buffet meals at Horizons too and Parth and Gerard in the Taj Horizons made sure we had a lovely time there. Served us well with their generous smiles even during rush buffet times. There are many others who made our stay memorable but not able to recollect their names. To mention a few, the person who helped in housekeeping and the turndown service in our room everytime we stepped out, the person who served us snacks and tea at the Taj club in Horizon, and the bartenders making amazing virgin drinks near the poolside. Overall the rooms are great, cleanliness and facilities are top notch, staff very customer friendly, pool facilities are very good. We enjoyed the pool at both the Heritage and the Infinity pool at the Horizons wing. Just wowww! Thanks to the entire Taj Cidade De Goa team, we got what we had gone for. Kudos and big claps ! We will visit again for yet another fulfilling trip.
