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...).

United KingdomNo view of mountains, found it cold during the winter period, although extra blankets were provided.
The family are amazing hosts, the location is right in the middle of loads of facilities and ashrams for classes. Good local choice of amenities. The price is good, accommodated to enable remote working. A whisky partner lol, taken along to local weddings to enjoy festivities with the family x

United KingdomThere is excessive construction happening all over Tapovan, which is extremely noisy, but not their fault or under their control.
The host family are lovely, kind, welcoming and kept us safe. They still provide electricity even when there are power cuts cause they have a generator. The internet is stable and always available, which is unusual in this area, also good 5G reception in this area. Always available to ask them for help or advice. There is a shared fridge and balcony which is useful.

United KingdomNo view from balcony, overlooked by another hotel, which can’t be helped. But balcony is spacious and has a table and chairs.
Good stable internet, very accommodating for work needs. Super friendly made us feel part of the family. Having a small stove in the room is very handy for making hot drinks. Felt totally safe and secure ready to offer information, advice and help. Easy to get hold of at any time of the day or evening. Having a balcony area is nice too, along with a fridge to store milk and to keep water cold. Good location for cafes, shops and groceries. Lots of options of places to eat and the occasional traditional wedding. Taxis and tuk tuks go right to the door of the homestay.

ItalyHow brief my stay was
Jashoda is a slice of heaven - a friendly, peaceful, very clean and spacious homestay with delicious homecooked meals (and original 5 grain chapatis) and a perennial homely atmosphere that permeates amongst the hustle.and bustle of fast developing Tapovan. It is 5mins walk from the main road and surrounded by juice and coffee bars, local and foreign eateries and yoga ashrams in every direction only a couple minutes walk away. In-house laundry and gas stove in the rooms, with fan and A/C. I will return when/if I am so lucky. Anita, Manoj, Riya and Deepak (and family).. dhanyavaad 🙏🙏

Comfy beds and hot showers! Gas stove and good wifi! Great location off the main road, easy to get around. I'd give 7,5 points for the room and 10+ for the great family running the home stay! Thank you Anita & all the family for making me feel At Home! <3

I had a great stay - felt just like home: the very nice family running the home stay were always super helpful, the location is great for cafes (there are several catering both Indian and Western foodstuff within a short stroll). The external space was particularly nice to have, just to sit read a book in the evening, or have a tea in the morning, with a partial mountain view. Good WIFI connection

Wow, I have been staying in indian hotels in various cities (all same price region) and this was the first one to actually think, how can we make our place better for its customers. The kitchen in the room was a fantastic idea, the small table outside was perfect for working. Everything was clean and they were very keen to help in any way they could, but were happy to leave you if you wished. a lovely stay. They could charge much more but they don't.

IndiaNo phone in the room TV not there AC 24*7 not available
Hotel is good. Staff also good but you have to remind them for basic things like drinking water. No phone in the room, you have to contact directly. Mountain view is very limited as tall buildings have been made in front of the balcony. A gas stove is there for cooking. Electricity problem was there, AC does not work on alternate arrangements, Fan and light were working 24×7 on inverter. The secret waterfall is 3-4km from this location. Overall good stay.
