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...).

IndiaApart from its proximity to the East Gate of Taj Mahal, rooftop cafe view of Taj and economical living, the property is just fine to stay for a night or two. The geyser, AC, water dispenser, taps work fine, but there was smell of mould in the room. Also the ceiling fan made a lot of noise throughout the night. The staff was very cooperative and helpful.

PolandAbsolutely! Here's an English review you can use for Joeys Hostel on Booking.com: Title: Fantastic Hostel with Exceptional Staff! My stay at Joeys Hostel was absolutely wonderful, and a large part of that was thanks to the incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. I especially want to mention Yash, who was an outstanding employee. His greeting was so warm and genuine, making us feel instantly comfortable. What truly set Yash apart was his willingness to share his knowledge of Indian culture, history, and customs. We had many fascinating conversations with him, and we learned so much. He was always happy to answer our questions and provide insights, enriching our travel experience immensely. Yash is a truly wonderful person, and I wish all establishments had employees as dedicated and engaging as him! Beyond the excellent service from Yash and the rest of the team, the hostel itself was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Joeys Hostel to anyone visiting the area, and I hope you have the pleasure of meeting Yash!

ItalyUnfortunately there were a lot of noises from the street at any time and I couldn't sleep very well. The restaurant is good, but breakfast was very poor in quantity. They brought me the tost butter, and jam already made it with not so much jam.
The facility was super close to the Taj Mahal and it was very convenient. Room small,but very cute with everything you need even the electric kettle. At the reception they were very nice and willing to help me anytime. The view of the Taj Mahal from the rooftop is ok no so crazy

TaiwanThere are many guests checking in and out, so the wait can be quite long.
Very close to the Taj Mahal, making it easy to enter the site early in the morning. The room is overall clean and tidy, and the rooftop restaurant offers a great view of the Taj Mahal. The communal spaces are spacious and comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and helpful — a stay that gives peace of mind.

BrazilThe overall stay was a little underwhelming because first we were given a room without hot water and when we complaint they gave a new room with some construction noise the whole afternoon.
The location is the best thing about the hostel, you can see the Taj Mahal from the rooftop which is something epic when we come from so far only to see this place.

United KingdomThe room was okay. I booked two private rooms and wouldnt describe either as deluxe or luxury, but certainly passable. With the positives I mentioned though if the Taj is your main reason for visiting, then this is the place to stay!
An incredible uninterrupted view of the Taj Mahal from the rooftop. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Just a 10 minute walk from the Taj Mahal.
