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...).

IndiaThe location was untraceable on Google Map. It is deep inside the serpent type of gallies of Varanasi. Need to walk upto 3 Kms to catch Cabs/taxi. Staff members were kind of attitude oriented. Even public toilets are much better than room toilet. No cleanliness inside the room. Can't order tea before 8:30 am and out side in Galli no tea shop available. Overall very bad experience.
Just the price was little ok, rest all was waste of time in their

United StatesThe owner was very helpful. I arrvied in the middle of night; the power was down therefor there was no light on the streets. He came to pick me up on the main street to guide me to the hotel. The locatiion is great with only a minute walking to the Ganga river, restaurants and shops. I would def recommend this place.

IndiaTo find this place from the main road is a big task. But through the ghat it's easy... Can send some one to bring the client to the hotel. Or proper sign bords are needed for finding the ways and guhts
This hotel is near to all Ghats. The caretaker is a nice guy. Very helpful. Pleasant. The Room were small but enough for a decent stay... Neat and clean.. Hot water, WiFi, blankets, pillows all of those were really neat and clean

NorwayBed in my second room was concrete hard.
Nice location and nice manager, they also had a good rooftop but it could need a couple of chairs. The manager/owner? helped me get transport to airport wich was good because on the street I would probably have gotten ripped off, paid 800 to the airport in taxi wich was ok, about an hour ride.

United StatesThis is a hard one. Location is superb, 2 minutes walk to Pandey Ghat and river. Decent rooftop with a view of the river. Lots of shops and restaurants in the old town alleys, including some western options (German bakery, Korean/Japanese food too) Owner was always polite and provided what's needed. The single rooms are bare minimum, and I guess considering the low price it makes sense. Showers need some serious work done though, it's not easy to take shower. Since everything is so small and packed, you can hear noises from other rooms, and if someone is smoking in their room smoke may get thru to your room. If you're planning on going around Varanasi for the whole day and just having a bed and shower in the evening before sleep, it's good enough. Would not recommend for people who plan extensive stays at the guest house.

Location is as good as it gets. Right beside the river ganga. Cafes, food, shopping, markets all nearby. Staff is helpful and friendly. He seems to be around 24 seven to assist us in everything. Pricing wise, it's definitely worth every penny of it. Thumbs up to you Indra Guesthouse

FranceWe stayed in the standard double room with fan: bed and rooms were clean, it was in a calm area, many restaurants nearby, staff was very nice, good wi-fi and you have a good view over Ganga river when you go up to rooftop. Thank you : ) (n.b.: as most of accommodations near the ghats, taxis and rickshaws can't reach there and then drop you on the main road nearby, you'll then have to walk to your stay through the street maze... but it's really worthy ; ) )

IndiaNothing to nitpick. We got what we paid for.
Location was great - near Pandey ghat, with Ma Ganga visible from the window and terrace. The room had all basic amenities including heater in the washroom. There could have been a small fan in the corner along with a plug point, where the single cot was placed. Viswajeet, the host, was quite helpful. Would suggest that he also get an RO unit installed in house. Overall good experience. Don't mind going back there for future visits.
