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...).

IndiaI have no words to describe my stay. Everything was perfect. The vibes, cleanliness, facilities etc. The food was super delicious and affordable. Special shoutout to the property owner and host Mr Atit. His calm and super helpful demeanor was a cherry on top. Will highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dharamshala.

My stay at Hobo Hostel was excellent. The rooms/ bathrooms were clean and hygenic (to Western standards) and, in my opinion, very good value for money. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The food served was wholesome, organic, and homemade (also locally sourced and seasonal). There was fresh drinking water available 24/7 in the communal area, which was great and also meant I could fill up my steel flask, which saved plastic pollution. The location was great as it was close enough to travel into Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj for day trips but far enough away to relax and unwind at the end of the day. The local village was also very welcoming, I was a solo traveller walking around at night alone, and not once did I feel unsafe. The scenery was beautiful, and there were various trekking options available from Hobos' own qualified mountain guide. There is also a river running within walking distance of the property, which I used for meditation and cold water immersion in the mornings. Overall, I had a perfect stay and would definitely come back. Id recommended Hobo Hostel to any traveller wanting a peaceful stay in a beautiful village setting.

It is at a place which is away from the hustle of daily city life. Pretty calm and soothing. The owner and other members were very polite and helpful all the time. They went ahead and made us extra arrangements than they needed to. It was a memorable stay.

NetherlandsOnly the guy of the first night spoke English (we haven't seen him afterwards anymore). The others didn't speak anything and even in Hindi it was hard the communicate. What made it a bit annoying for the Europeans. The bathroom didn't get cleaned during the 4 nights we stayed there. Location is far out and hard/impossible to get a cap. The food was great but it took really long to come. The water in our bathroom didn't work two days in a row and shower was impossible the entire time. I still give it a 7 because the potential of the hostel is great
The room and beds were great. We got our own bathroom, comfy beds and the view was beautiful. The food (especially in the evening) was great. Staff was friendly and the first night the guy who received us was so nice. It's close to the mountains.
