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...).

AustraliaAbsolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful spot hidden in the valley amongst the trees. Nice location between Dharamkot and Bhagsu, 25 mins walk down to McLeod Ganj, 10 mins to Tushita Meditation Centre. The staff are amazing, the food is amazing, the upstairs sun room is amazing. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean. People and vibes are amazing!!

United KingdomA lovely retreat in the mountains outside the local towns. All walking distance. Cosy rooms, although cold we were given a heater and extra blankets. Such great staff too. Food was good and they lit fires in the evening for everyone to chill. Would recommend to everyone !! And hopefully will be back ourselves.

United KingdomStaff could be a bit more informative at check in, eg telling me about where the filter water was, that I could rent a heater, etc. These things I had to ask about and figure out for myself.
A superb stay - I stayed in the Queen room and it was clean, attractive, a very good shower with hot water, kettle, 2x bottles of filter water. The restaurant/cafe here is great with good quality food. You can have dinner/breakfast there everyday and always try something different. Soya chai, poha, and thai curry were menu highlights.

United KingdomI went during the winter, and it was pretty cold. This is to be expected and there is an extra blanket available in the room which was needed. There is an option to pay extra for a plug in heater - which I did have and helped a bit - but it still was quite cold. It would be good if there were better heaters available for the room. In general the people working at the hostel were nice - but I thought some could have been a bit friendlier to be honest
Comfortable hostel which is located in a peaceful woodland setting. They light a fire in the evening which is a nice place to sit around and socialise. I stayed in a private room which was a nice space. Staff were helpful with things like organising taxis and for giving walking directions into town. There is a cafe at the hostel and it is convenient to be able to have food there as most cafes are a walk away and during the winter some are closed. The food at the cafe is quite good - some dishes better than others :) overall it is a nice place to stay and it is nice to be walking distance to Dharamkot (5 mins) and McLeod Ganj (30 mins), but at the same time to have the peace and tranquility of staying in a quit place
