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.).

Czech RepublicFew things could be, however, improved. The WiFi was very bad, basically hardly working. The water pressure in the shower was weak, especially when turning on the hot water. In the room there were not enough plugs, in the sense that they were all occupied by bed sidelights, TV, kettle or other appliances, so for recharging my phone or computer I had to unplug something, because in the whole room there was not a free one.
It is in a very quiet location, but just 10 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the busy streets of Candolim. The garden is beautiful and very well kept. The swimming pool is clean and of a good size. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are just few rooms, and they are very nicely furbished and clean. Breakfast was ok, there was always a choice between English, Continental or Indian, all were freshly made, but I would have appreciated fresh fruit in the offer. I highly recommend this hotel and would like to go back!

United KingdomThe roads leading to property are narrow but cabs are able to reach inside the property.
Situated between the main market and the beach, this property is a breath of fresh air- renovated monastery and excellent spacious rooms, very personal touch from the owner Ritu. I will definitely be going there again. Swimming pool is nice.

United KingdomMattress a bit to firm for my liking. The mothballs in the bathroom meant the smell was throughout the whole room. we had to wash clean clothes back home . No bar at the pool.
This is a B&B not a hotel. staff were friendly. The pool was lovely. Location was super quiet yet just a 10min walk to the beach. 5 mins from main drag for food/drink not beachfront.

IndiaNothing really
Amrit is an Oasis ,in the otherwise busy Candolim.The best part of the Boutique Homestay is that it is very close to the beach and the street ,with lots of shacks,cafés ,bars n resturuants. The location is brilliant. The rooms are clean,comfortable n spacious . Detailed interest is taken by the staff n owners to maintain it well. The swimming pool is one of the cleanest we’ve had. Breakfast is fresh n delicious,it’s a welcome change when you are eating most meals in resturuants,one does crave for a homemade breakfast to start the day.

United KingdomNo dislikes, only a suggestion Bed slightly firm and fresh orange juice or fruit would be nice at breakfast, but we were always offered extra toast.
Efficient check-in friendly staff Cat and AJ. Welcomed us. Cat sent me restruant suggestions, which was much appreciated. Staff organised my taxi to and from the airport. Owners lovely, too. Ritu and her husband checked in daily with us, too. They had been to Scotland too, so we chatted about this.! Beautiful place to stay in Goa. Lovely quiet location, just what was needed afteŕ tour of india and being in delhi. The owners explained that the property was constructed from a refurbished 300 year old Jesuit Monastery. Very well done with lovely gardens and a pool Lovely quiet location and close to the beach. (Approx 5 min walk).I would say a nicer part of the beach quieter. Rooms large and comfortable high ceilings and beams cleaned daily had good Ac and a fan .TV and fridge also. Shops and restaurants nearby. Breakfast included.

BelgiumFor Indian standards this stay is overpriced, breakfast was disappointing (again, for the price you pay), the bed was too hard for me personally. There is probably a good reason for it, but they put urinal blocks in the sink, shower drain, ... Consequently the room smelled like this.
Friendly staff - helps you a lot with planning things, taxi, etc. They do everything to make you feel comfortable, again a big thanks! Nice swimming pool, the room was very comfortable. The property is very clean and very beautiful!

United KingdomWe missed a comfortable place to sit and chill. As is typical in Goan houses soft furnishings are not a thing. Most people visiting are usually a two or three night stay so won’t be affected but as we were there for a long period it would have been nice.
The whole team at the Amrit are lovely and very accommodating. We have been here for four weeks and nothing is too much trouble. Our room is large and airy and is in keeping with the property which has been converted from a Monastery. It is set in nice gardens with a lovely pool and is a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the main Candolim road. An easy flat walk to bars and restaurants of which there are too many to count. The breakfast menu is a limited one, it changes a few times a week but there is always an Indian and Egg selection as well as pancakes and yoghurt and muesli on other days. It’s served hot to order and always with a smile from RJ. The beach is a short walk away and is a quieter part of the beach which suited us much more. Our only criticism was that our bed was really too hard and uncomfortable but when we mentioned this Ritu ordered us a mattress topper which helped a lot. What gives the Amrit its high rating on this site is without doubt the owners and staff, special mention to Catherine who is amazing, always offering suggestions for restaurants and giving tips and advice on places to go and things to do and the location being peaceful and away from it all.

Such a lovely peaceful place to stay! The Amrit Goa is only a 5 minute walk from the main street with all of the noise and traffic but it is totally quiet at the Amrit( well except for the rooster next door but we liked him!!) Maybe 10 minutes to the beautiful Candolim beach with many places to eat and lounge. Breakfast was always delicious and the staff were so kind and helpful. Thank you Catherine for all of your help and suggestions for dining and for a tour guide.

IndiaWifi could have been better.
The place is a historical building and it has been done up tastefully to provide a sense of comfortable living close to nature. The hosts were very accommodating, checking in on us every day and providing local recommendations, and, even finding a cab to the airport for us at the last minute when we were pressed for time. It is very close to Candolim beach.
