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.).

IndiaThe cleanness of the hostel room and linen was not upto to the mark. The pillow was provided without cover and with so many stain on that. Even after asking for the pillow cover they were not attentive to the request. Need to improve in cleanliness and service.
The roof top sitting space and common room to sit and relax.

ChileI had a good experience in this place. The shared rooms are well equipped. They have two bathrooms; you have a space to leave your things in a safe place; each bed has a possibility to charge a mobile phone, a light and its own fan. Also, the air conditioning works very well. The place is very well located and you can reach the main points of Varanasi on foot in 20-25 minutes. There is also a large common area for sharing and playing. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. Thank you, Gypsy!

IndiaI recently stayed at this property and booked a dorm, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The dorm was neat, clean, and surprisingly spacious, which made my stay very comfortable. A special shout-out to Mr. Nitin, the property manager, who went above and beyond to assist me with everything I needed. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and made sure my stay was hassle-free. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed stay. Thank you, Mr. Nitin, and the entire team for such a pleasant experience!

IndiaThere was some construction work happening, but that was not too bothersome. Inside my room things were relatively peaceful.
The hostel is located in the Aurangabad area of Varanasi. It connects easily to the busy commercial area of Luxa road, and therefore it is not too far away for food. It is tucked into a small lane off the Luxa-Aurangabad road, and hence is relatively peaceful and quiet. Staff were friendly, and asked me if I would like to see my room first before making the payment, just to be sure that we are happy with the room. Staff were helpful in helping with directions.
