Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

LuxembourgThere are a few small insects in the room, but an anti-mosquito device is always provided, ensuring a more comfortable stay.
When it comes to location, this hotel is unbeatable! The first thing that stands out is the excellent security: CCTV cameras are in operation, there is always someone at reception, and the windows are secured with protective grilles. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always ready to assist, making you feel right at home. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the Ganga River and the main Ghats. To reach it, you’ll need to navigate a bustling upper street, but once past it, you can immerse yourself in the charming atmosphere of the old town.

United KingdomUnfortunately the kitchen was closed but there are so many places to eat close by it didn't matter
Clean, quiet place in the middle of Varanasi old town The staff were super helpful and kind, they allowed us to check in very early which was such a relief after a long train journey. They can organise morning boat rides for very reasonable prices and advise re places to eat etc

ItalyAs I said the location is very central, so no cars can reach there, meaning you'll probably have to walk through narrow and crowded streets with your luggage. (but I imagine it'd be the same for all other hotels in the area). Also, the hotel restaurant was always closed.
The room was very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The staff was helpful. The location is very central, which in Varanasi is both good and bad (as it can be hard to reach).

ItalyHot water was not always provided, we had a cold shower. The kitchen was closed, we expected it open.
Simple and clean homestay. Excellent services, Anand Kanan's staff helped us quickly and efficiently for any request we had. Quite during the night (not easy at all in Varanasi!) and very close to the main attractions of the city. I would suggest it.

AustraliaWish I could stay loanger.
The guesthouse is centrally located, just 5 minutes walk to where the nightly riverside ceremony is. Shyam, Sanju and their team are really nice people, organising everything for me efficiently. They arranged return airport transfer for me. As car can only access the main road near the guesthouse, they have staff member waiting there to take me to the guesthouse, and walking with me to the pickup point on departure. The room is spacious and comfortable. I won't hesitate at all to recommend this place for the people, location and exexceptional value for money.

New ZealandThe shower could have done with a shower curtain, but this is being very picky. One note of caution, a wheeled suitcase would be difficult in this location, as you need to walk 10 minutes through narrow alleyways to get to the hotel. Travel backpack highly recommended.
The location was excellent, close to the main Ghatt and there was a great view from the rooftop. Lots of food and shopping options very close by. You will love Varanasi.

New ZealandWonderful guest house in fabulous location 5min walk from main ghat, to enjoy the experience of being in the midst of old Varanasi. Clean, modern room, with comfortable bed. We enjoyed discussions with Dr Singh on the history of Varanasi and Hindu religion. Dr Singh was also most helpful arranging transportation and guided tour. Highly recommend.

BrazilGreat location and the owner is very kind. He helped to arrange a boat tour and a early morning transfer to the train station. The wi-fi worked well in the room. It's a 5-min. walk to the main ghat. It's simple, but has everything to offer a confortable stay while you're in Varanasi.

The location of Anand Kanan is perfect, right on the Ghats - so perfect for exploring Varanasi. Dr Singh assisted us in organising a guide which really helped us better understand the history and rituals. If you want to really experience all Varanasi has to offer this is most definitely the place to stay. We also really enjoyed our conversations with Dr Singh.
