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.).

BrazilI didn't see any lockers, but maybe it was my fault for not asking where I could store my valuables. However, nothing of mine was stolen.
Perfect location, although outside the fort, it was within a short distance from it and close to restaurants and local shops. I arrived at 6:00 am after a long train journey, and there was someone at the reception who promptly allowed me to check into my room, which was great since I was very tired. The place is calm and quiet, and the daily rate is really affordable. Breakfast is not included, but there is a rooftop restaurant with a wide variety of options at very reasonable prices, as well as an incredible view of the fort, both during the day and at night.

I really enjoyed my stay at Explore Hostel. Location is elite, walk distance to everything. Room had everything. The hospitality of Amit and his staff were excellent and very welcoming. They provided free pickup from the bus stand and Amit helped me to organise/translate the details of my next destination. Due to health issues i wasn’t able to enjoy theirs safaris, but will come back for sure Would 100% recommend

GermanyI booked 3 nights in the hostel and was very satisfied. It is a beautiful building with a roof terrace from which you have a great view. The food is very delicious. I slept in the dorm which was very clean (however,don't forget to tell the host to turn on the AC from outside.) The staff is very friendly. The host even took me to the railway station in the middle of the night. All in all,I would definitely recommend this place.

IndiaThe common areas could be more clean. And the rooftop wifi doesn't work too well.
The dorms were comfortable and the space was great - the rooftop cafe is a nice place to chill and eat. The location was great, 10 min walk from the fort and market. The staff were very polite and helpful. I was traveling jaisalmer for the first time, so it was a pretty good choice and the hostel came highly rated. 10/10 recommend. They even have great options for desert safari tours.
