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...).

United KingdomThe area around the hostel itself isn’t the cleanest, lots of burst sewage pipes and animal waste, which was a bit of a shame. Also not loads of places to go for dinner if you don’t want to eat at the hostel. The food here (especially breakfast) was on the expensive side, but then again you do get such a treat with the view! I liked the music that was played in the late afternoons/evenings, but wish it was a little quieter so you can talk :)
Fantastic view of the Taj Mahal from the rooftop! There is free tea and coffee in the mornings and evenings, and as we were staying by or 5 nights (a bit unusual for Agra!) they kindly offered us free lemon water anytime. The food was almost always very tasty. The bed was big and comfortable and there was a kettle in the room which we appreciated.

JordanThe room had no window and extremely dark. Lots of mosquitoes too, despite the lack of a window. The mattress was sunken and extremely uncomfortable.
The view was incredible. Such a thrill to see the Taj Mahal so clearly from the Cafe.

SlovakiaThe AC doesn’t work best and is a little bit noisy, but it is typical for India. Bring earplugs and you will have a good sleep. Could be a bit cleaner.
The hostel is fine for backpackers. The location is perfect, it is only 4min walk from the Taj Mahal, so you can comfortably walk there for the sunrise. The staff was great and the teracce with Taj Mahal view is definitely the main benefit. We also appreciate the locker possible after checkout. The food was great, the prices are a little bit higher to the average but still fine.

United KingdomThere was a bad smell from the bathroom, however there was a similar smell in most of that area outdoors also so not necessarily a reflection on the hostel. For the price we paid, overall the stay exceeded expectations! Would highly recommend for a budget convenient location for an overnight Taj Mahal visit!
Incredibly convenient location, just a few minutes walk from the Taj Mahal! Bed was super comfy and the food at the rooftop cafe was great and very good value! Staff were friendly and helpful, helping us to arrange transfers and providing information when needed!

SpainThe shower pipes had not enough pressure and due to being in the third floor of the building, whenever other people were showering the water did not flow enough. Nevertheless, most of the time the shower worked ok and it had hot water.
Great hostel at 5 minutes walking from the Taj Mahal. It has a great rooftop with views to the Taj Mahal, and restaurant service. Room was good enough. Comfortable, clean, and with a good wifi connection.

SlovakiaThe ventilation in the room and the bathroom was not ideal, so after the shower you needed to open the door to the hallway to get some fresh air.
The view of the Taj Mahal was certainly one of the highlights. They have a very nice roof, where you can have some drink or a food and enjoy the view. The room was small and compact but ok for a night or two. This property definitelly has good hostel vibes. We had a very late check-in and they stil waited for us.
