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...).

ItalyNot so much for the property, but if you are coming here after visiting the Taj Mahal, just walk to Joey’s, it’s much easier than taking a Tuk Tuk which has to go the long way around.
The property has an amazing location, the staff is helpful and the rooms are clean and spacious. What can I say… highly recommend!

GermanyGreat value for money. We stayed in their 4-bedroom and it was totally fine for one night. The Taj entrance can be reached in just a few minutes by walking. The rooftop terrace offers amazing views of the Taj Mahal! Incredible for a hostel! The staff is super friendly and helpful, always making sure you feel at home.

AustraliaThe only thing I enjoyed in this hostel was the rooftop. Late at night, two Indians entered the room to sleep without luggage and started to speak very loudly, not caring that people were asleep. In the morning they left early too, sleep with the same clothes. For sure wasn't guest I not feel comfortable... My bus departed late to Varanasi and the locket I were I put my staff for the they is impossible to lock... Is a hostel for one night for the proximity to the taj Mahal and views

United KingdomCheck in was painfully slow. I arrived after midnight after a very long and challenging day's travel, and also feeling unwell. That it took almost half an hour to check me in was not appreciated at all.
Great location, and loved the views across the rooftops to the Taj Mahal. Hippie Cafe serves excellent food in a cool location. Room was a good size, and the bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomBreakfast was 45 minutes after the time advertised which was disappointing as we were waiting awhile. Sometimes loud outside the room in common area but only in the day.
Nice view from rooftop. Nice breakfast for only 200. Nice room with bottled water included. Easy check in & check out. Nice lockers to leave luggage after check out. Amazing location, can’t get much closer to Taj Mahal, less than 5 minute walk to entrance. Nice to stay with our tourists and it felt safe

ItalyIt's a bit noisy in the rooms because windows to the main hall are very thin. But it's India so it's always noisy...
Amazing location just a few minutes by walk away from Taj Mahal. The views from the rooftop are amazing, and it's nice to have the option to eat there at any time of the day. Food may not be stellar but the view and quiet atmosphere compensates for it. Staff is very nice.

United StatesTwo suggestions for improvement 1. have better light blocking drapes. The bunk beds in our bedroom were along the window facing a street and the kinds barely slept the first night because of the street lightning. 2. improve the drainage system. On our second day there we had a very bad sewage smell in our bathroom. even if the team came to do something about it it came back.
The location was perfect - only a few steps from the entrance to the Taj Mahal, the staff great, and the view from the rooftop terrace amazing! The team was very easy to communicate with and they were very welcoming. We appreciated a lot them taking time with people around a bonfire on the rooftop terrace. The offering from the rooftop cafe was good too!

NetherlandsBut unfortunately, they seems shut down the electricity in the early morning when I try to get up early for sunrise to Taj Mahal. They send a person to me and said it will be back in 10 mins, but eventually, 40 mins later there's still no electricity. I can only do my saree and make up rely on my phone flash light.
Location is awesome, staff are friendly. Room is not the best of course, but you can live with it for one night to see Taj Mahal.
