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.).

IndiaI had an incredible stay on a houseboat on Dal Lake in Srinagar. The boat was beautifully maintained, with all the modern amenities you could need, yet still captured the charm of traditional Kashmiri decor. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the lake and mountains made it a truly special experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious, featuring authentic Kashmiri dishes. It’s a perfect getaway for anyone seeking comfort, tranquility, and a unique way to experience the beauty of Kashmir. Highly recommended!

IndiaI couldn’t stay more long in that room.
Whenever I travel to Srinagar we often do like to stay in Dal Lake. As we found this property new in the booking.com and viewing I thought to go for it. While arriving at the Property our co host Mr Fayaz greeted us and offered a Fresh Juice in this hot weather. And afterwards we checked in our booked room which was impressive and astonishingly decorated. Linen sheets on the bed were clean and tidy. Bed was comfortable. This resort is located in the heart of Dal Lake called Golden Lake. Sunset was so mesmerising and even the sunrise too. Ordered In House Food was tasty and good in quantity. I would be definitely staying again in this property with my family in my upcoming family trips.

Our stay at this houseboat on Dal Lake was an unforgettable experience. The location is simply unbeatable, offering stunning panoramic views of the lake and the majestic Zabarwan mountain beyond. Waking up to the serene beauty of Dal Lake every morning was a highlight of our trip. The services provided were top-notch. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From arranging local tours to providing detailed information about the area, their hospitality truly stood out. The delicious, home-cooked meals were a delightful bonus, giving us a taste of authentic Kashmiri cuisine right on the boat. The houseboat itself was beautifully decorated, combining traditional charm with modern comforts. It was clean, well-maintained, and provided a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. We loved spending our evenings on the deck, enjoying the tranquil surroundings and watching the sunset over the lake. I highly recommend this houseboat to anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Dal Lake. It's a perfect getaway that offers exceptional service, stunning views, and an unbeatable location.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Favela Headrooms and Group of Houseboats on Dal Lake. The setting is incredibly serene and offers breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The houseboat itself was charming and well-maintained, providing a perfect blend of traditional Kashmiri decor and modern amenities. The staff were incredibly hospitable, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They provided delicious home-cooked meals, which allowed us to experience authentic Kashmiri cuisine. The boat's location also made it easy to explore the local markets and attractions. I highly recommend staying on this houseboat for anyone looking to enjoy a unique and peaceful experience on Dal Lake. It's a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

IndiaBEWARE. These guys are a joke and embarassment to hospitality. The moment i got there, I wanted to leave Kashmir asap. First they will ask u to pay advance even before coming here and settle full amount upon check in! I understood why the hard way. The room i got had the shittiest dirtiest view possible, nothing like in the pictures. It was also attached with their room next door, and the moment u get in, they will tell u the rules: no slippers in the room and no alcohol. The welcome was cold and the vibes were like i was a female student staying in a hostel with a strict overbearing family nxt to my room. Despite me coming from so far away they did nothing to make me feel comfortable but instead tried to push the touristic shikari and taxi services to me. If ur paying for the cheaper room, they will do their best to extort more money from you during your stay - from charging rs50 for a water bottle, Rs100 for bread&tea, and rs300/night for a room heater..to arranging an airport pickup for rs1200. And beware most of the time, they will not tell u the costs upfront but after providing the services. There is no wifi in the cheaper room, although the old man will try to fool you with some excuses about why he can't give u the password right now and to use his hotspot. I only learnt the next day that wifi is in the bigger boathouse thats more expensive, and i had to go there to get Internet access. If u dont have a kashmir SIM yet this will be very inconvenient. They also have a menu with ridiculous prices for basic items like rs280 for a few cucumbers and tomatoes. They offered me food after a long flight, in the most homely nicest way, (convincing me its too late to eat outside across the river from them) and offered to make me egg, but when i sat down for dinner it was just rice and dal and those cucumbers & tomatoes.
Clean but the bathroom clogs.
