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.).

IndiaThere is no view, and if your travelling with aged people, 2nd floor can be quite a climb.
4 of us stayed at the family suite , which is large and spacious but very basic. there is no lift, and tea/ coffee maker or kettle unlike a hotel. what lacks in amenities has been compensated by the ever smiling and helpful staff, with especial mention to Vicky. Other staff Rajender, were extremely helpful too, and went out of the way to ensure a comfortable stay. i would give more than 10 to the staff. Other great things going for the place is the proximity to the temple and shopping bazaars. If your not keen on ambience and amenities, and looking at a budgeted stay, this place is highly recommended.

IndiaHere's a sample good review for Hotel Backpackers Nest: *5/5 Stars* "I had an amazing stay at Hotel Backpackers Nest! The hostel is perfectly located, with easy access to public transportation and all the major attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to lend a hand or offer recommendations. The atmosphere was lively and social, with a great communal area for meeting fellow travelers. My dorm room was clean and comfortable, with sturdy beds and secure lockers. The bathrooms were also spotless and well-maintained. But what really made my stay stand out was the excellent service and attention to detail. From the free breakfast to the organized events and activities, the team at Hotel Backpackers Nest truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this hostel to any backpacker or traveler looking for a fun, social, and comfortable place to stay. *Highlights:* - Perfect location - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean and comfortable rooms - Great communal area and social atmosphere - Excellent service and attention to detail *Will I return?* Absolutely!"

IndiaI had an amazing experience during my stay at Backpackers Nest Hotel. The staff, especially Manav and Prince, were outstanding. Manav went above and beyond to ensure our safe arrival, even guiding the auto driver over the phone and sending another staff member outside the hotel to assist us. The hotel is incredibly safe, especially for women, which was very reassuring. The cleanliness and hygiene were impeccable—I’d give it a solid 5 out of 5. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure stay!

IsraelMainly what is reflected in the booking reviews as if it is a place that gives value for money, it is not. I took a room for two days and left after the first night. I took their best room hoping it would be ok. A feeling of suffocation in the room, a smell of urine in the bathroom (I did not try the shower...) a window that does not face the view of the city as it should be for an abandoned building 1.5 meters from the window. I've already given up on breakfast.

The Backpacker's Nest is really a comfortable stay. It's so close to all the main sites of the city. The main Market also surrounds the place. You can go shopping, if you feel you have a lot of shopping bags, come back to the hotel keep your bags in your room, have a breath and start it again 😃. And the staff is very helpful. Thank you guys.

IndiaThe place was in a Hotspot. Just a stone's throw away from Partition Museum this place is a hidden gem. I went in mid January, and it was very cold and foggy the entire day. Although non veg food around this street is less, it has a lot of vegetarrifood options within 100m. The road is aesthetically beautiful. The staff and the manager were extremely sweet and nice and dealt with any issues I Had very promptly. The staff were well behaved and it was a safe place to stay which is quite important as a solo female traveller.
