How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe bed was comfortable. Aside from that it was just a basic family home with other people living on the property.
The room I stayed in was very small. There are no amenities aside from hand soap and a shower cap (🙄) available. The owner arranged breakfast with me for 7:30. At 7:40 the staff ARRIVED to START preparing breakfast. I could not wait for them to finish and had to go to work without eating breakfast.
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your honest feedback. We are deeply sorry that your experience did not meet expectations, and we take full responsibility for the issues you encountered during your stay. We are particularly disheartened to hear about the delay in your breakfast service. After a thorough internal investigation, including a review of video footage, we found that a staff member arrived late, which is completely unacceptable. While they initially denied this, appropriate action has been taken to ensure this never happens again. We understand how frustrating it must have been for you to leave without a proper meal, and we sincerely apologize. Additionally, we acknowledge your concerns regarding amenities and space. We genuinely appreciate this feedback, as it has brought to light areas that need immediate improvement. Your comments are helping us refine our guest experience, and we are already working on enhancing our offerings. As a gesture of our sincere apology, we would love to invite you back for a complimentary night’s stay, including a personally prepared hearty breakfast from the owner. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our establishment and show you the high standards we strive for. We also want to clarify that the person you saw moving around the property is a staff member, not a family member, and we regret any confusion this may have caused. Once again, we appreciate your valuable feedback. Your experience matters to us, and we are committed to ensuring that all future stays reflect the quality and service we aim to provide. Warm regards, Lindi

Dear Nwabisa Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet your expectations. We noticed that your booking was made on a room-only basis, which typically doesn’t include breakfast. On platforms like Booking.com, there’s an option to select breakfast if desired, and this is available at an additional cost. Our intention was to respect your choice by preparing the room as booked, but we understand it may not have been clear. We also appreciate your feedback on the bedroom. If you could share more about what you found unsatisfactory, we’d love to address it directly. Guest feedback is invaluable to us, as it helps us improve and create a welcoming experience for everyone. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back for a stay that better meets your expectations in the future. Thank you & warm regards Team Bhotani

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. The room was in mint condition. We had an extra large bed and sooo comfortable. The bathroom was clean, neat and the shower was spacious. The swimming pool was sparkling clean. Staff was helpful, warm and welcoming. Each room has their own remote to in and out of the premises. Bhotani is in the perfect location near lots of Shops and malls and in a peaceful area. We will definitely visit them again.
