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...).

NetherlandsThe food at the hotel was delicious, though it occasionally took longer to prepare than expected. We had some trouble figuring out the warm water in the bathroom, and the overall cleanliness of both the bathroom and the room could have been improved. Additionally, there’s another hotel nearby, which made the evenings a bit noisy at times.
The hotel has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in one of the studios, and the bed was super comfortable. We happened to be there during Holi, and the hotel organized a lovely event for the celebration. The staff even kindly lent us clothes so we could take part in the Holi celebrations. We felt very safe and genuinely welcomed the entire time.

IndiaNothing as such.
The place is very nice, nice dorm rooms, nicely done interior, greenery within the complex, newly built sitting and reading space is very nice, newly built cafe and the sitting area with a machan on top with cozy mattresses where you can relax during the daytime is very comfortable. This place is like a home to me. The owner, Sankalp is a great guy. The celebration of Holi and the Lunch was too good. This property hosts a lot of foreign tourists and travelers, making it a great place for multi cultural experience.

United KingdomI can't think of anything I didn't like. The only thing I could mention would be no communal kitchen space - but they do have a boil water tap and constant cold water supply. So it was no issue because the food was so cheap to eat out I wouldn't have been cooking my own food anyway.
I loved everything about this place. The vibe was on point, the staff were helpful and very chill and good fun. This hostel seemed to attract all the right people. It was like one big happy family. I only planned to stay for 3 nights but ended up extending each day and If I hadn't already somewhere to be and other commitments, I would have stayed longer.
