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.).

AustraliaBreakfast and dinner was ok not fully professional and took time to be prepared and served, they did best but according to there advertisements things were little different and I feel thats what we can expect. I struggled with hot water, cold weather and having shower in cold water really upsetted me. It didn't even last 15min and turn to cold. That needs to be taken action as I struggle other guest would do same.

United KingdomVery attentive staff. Amazing food. Beautiful views. Clean. Close enough to Shimla centre (the ridge/mall) by taxi. Great value for money. If you can, worth getting a room with a view - loads of natural light and cool balcony.

IndiaNothing to dislike
Location - serene and quiet View - absolutely fantastic Rooms and property- its a great and well maintained homestay with modern amenities Food - brilliant home cooked and fresh What makes it stand out - the hospitality is above anything else. Rohit and other 2 caretakers will not let you miss home. Another thing is the quietness around. It just oozes peace. Make sure you select the suite with balcony option. Thats the one with the view. There is a deluxe room option but that doesn’t have any view. I can’t thank the owner and team here for a really amazing stay we had. Will come back for sure.

United Arab EmiratesNo inter-connected rooms however, we got next to next rooms but they were not connected that's all. Probably a little more powerful room heating system would be a nice thing to have especially in a place like Shimla.
If you're looking for a wonderful stay in Shimla, look no further than this place! The staff took such good care of us that we felt like we were staying in our own private resort. It was truly a haven, a place where we could relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Shimla. Overall, our experience was fantastic. If you're looking for a wonderful getaway, this place is definitely worth considering. The people, the place, the atmosphere - everything was perfect. The food was freshly prepared and served like home. We couldn't have asked for a better stay, and we can't wait to come back again. Highly recommended!

IndiaThe hotel is far from Shimla and with no car service hence better to come with your own car. For site visit, trekking, etc. Plan before coming, there is no information available at the hotel.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a nice view. The home made cooking is really tasty with enough variety for few days

AustraliaDepending on your reason for travel, slight downside might be distance from central Shimla, about 25 minutes by car. Accommodation requested Indian bank money transfer to confirm booking, which we could not do as visiting from overseas but they kindly made an exception for us to pay on arrival.
Very spacious clean modern room. Large comfortable bed. Balcony with fantastic views. Very generous meals and accommodating hosts. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

United Arab EmiratesMy only issue was that I requested for a half board option which i was ready to pay to extend my stay a little longer maybe till 4 or 5 PM as my bus back to Delhi was at 9 PM however i was told to pay the full day charge if I were to avail this option. I maybe wrong but I believe the homestay was empty and I think we were the only occupants and hence I don't know why I was told to pay for one full day when a half day payment could have easily been arranged and hence they could have been more accommodating. Apart from this my stay was comfortable and the place is great.
The room, the staff, the location and the view from the balcony for the suite room is top notch. The food we tried was below average (Mutton curry) as the meat was tough and fatty (Maybe it's made this way in the region. Not sure). The breakfast was okay and nothing to write home about.
