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...).

NetherlandsCleaniness was okayish and our room had no room. Good to know; lots of (tuktuk) drivers can not find the location so tell them that you stay near the South Gate exit
Location and rooftop were the best! Really nice. Shower was good, strong and hot. Drinkwater provided and unlimited chai tea. Easy to socialise, so we met a lot of fun people

GermanyHostel is very close to the Taj Mahal (less than 5 minutes walking). The rooftop cafe offers food throughout the day and has a nice view on the Taj Mahal. For a small extra fee (100 INR) the staff helped me to book a train for my onward journey.

NepalMy stay here was fantastic, the hostel organised a walking tour of the Tibetan area within Delhi with Sohail which was well planned and an enjoyable experience. The hostel had a great variety of traveller guests, and the room did the job. No complaints at all.

United KingdomOnly thing I’d fault is the pillows being a bit uncomfortable!
Location is absolutely fantastic. Right by the Taj Mahal and view from the roof top is potentially the best you’ll get. Food was pretty good at the cafe too. Hot water in the showers is a welcome luxury in India.

Germany- rooms and bathroom aren't really clean, the walls and cabinets - when you shower the bathroom stinks. I dont know if it is the drain or the water itself - board with things to do (apart from the Taj) would be nice
- the view of course is amazing, you cannot beat that - free drinking water - hot water for the shower - curtains on the bed - there is a breakfast Buffet that is really, really great - walking distance to the East Gate of the Taj - owner gives out free soup im the evening to bring people together which is nice

SwitzerlandThe amazing view of Taj makes this hostel an absolute must-stay for backpackers and travels. Good mix of national and international, which I often missed in India. Honestly, the hostel is somewhere between ok and good. The staff is fun, does their job well, no extraordinary. The rooms are clean, maintained, mine was pretty dark. The rooftop is amazing, outstanding beautiful, just because Taj is so close, otherwise again nothing out of the ordinary. Try to catch the campfire vibes on the rooftop during late evenings.

CroatiaRoom was not very nice. No windows, bad lighting, uncomfortable. Photos on booking and the rooftop are from a different building than the rooms you actually sleep in. But it's not far. In the night strangers were very loud in front of the room and people tried to get into our room at night. But we locked the door so they could not enter.
Staff was really helpful and friendly Rooftop has a nice view Location is very good. Near taj mahal and near good restaurants
