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...).

PolandThey have the laundry service and we were told that if we deliver the clothes in the evening we’ll get them around 4pm the next day as we were leaving. We asked 4 times did they remember and all we got was: okay, okay sir. Turned out they didn’t even know where the bags were and if they were ours. We came to collect and pay and turned out they didn’t even send it to be washed! Very disappointing as we really asked many times to make sure they would make it. The staff seemed to be indifferent to our requests.
Location, terrace, the room, strong ac, mattresses, huge duvets. Haven! Breakfast was decent, the vibe is quite hippie, popular with tourists. The staff is rather nice and helpful. From the reception area you can go further and climb up to another terrace (Taj View cafe) and see the view, although the Hippie Cafe at Joey’s has a roof and fans so it’s more convenient;)

Switzerland-Power cut in the middle of the night for 2.5 hours in a very warm and humid condition and with no ventilation in the room. The hotel must have a plan B and a generator backup at least running the fan/ventilators, if not the AC. -Food was below average, they said pancakes however served Crêpe, also the Indian paratha was cold and not tasty. Omelette was ok. -People with knee problems may avoid, have lots of steep stairs, even inside the room going to the WC/Toilet. Was not a problem for us.
-View of Taj from Rooftop and by foot only 4 minutes. -Room was good size, clean and European influenced

United KingdomThe dorm rooms are on the older end of things, basic as is expected with the price. Could do with a bit more thorough cleaning. AC was a bit temperamental.
Quite simply this hostel is for visiting and enjoying the Taj Mahal. It’s proximity to the site is fabulous, enabling an easy early morning entry to beat the crowds. It’s roof top terrace view is spectacular and is a nice place to unwind and/or socialise. Rajiv was very kind to us.

ItalyNo hot water in the bathroom, the boiler wasn't working. Everything is a little old inside the room and the rooftop is on a parallel building.
The position Is awesome, you can reach East Gate of Taj Mahal in two minutes. The guys are friendly and the rooftop terrace in a great thing to make the breakfast or relax in the evening. Room was big and of course with air conditioning.

United KingdomOne of the rooms smelt of urine which may have just been the plumbing. It also didn’t have a window which may have been an issue for some people but we didn’t mind as it was just a place to sleep.
This was the perfect place to stay in Agra, only a few minutes walk away from the Taj Mahal. The staff were very helpful and the vibe in the hostel was really nice. Rooms were basic but comfortable and good value for money. Food in the cafe was good and the view was to die for!

United KingdomThe room is basic for the price you pay, but it's completely fine. The pillows were paper thin - should have asked for another one!
The location is amazing - not just to the Taj but for eateries. There are always rickshaws outside which is great because they can take you to Agra Fort etc and importantly they know where to take you back to which is handy. The rooftop terrace with a view to the Taj is amazing. We got a walking tour in the evening too.
