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...).

FranceRestaurant is a bit expensive. Situation is great but just next to the Taj Mahal which means you are approached by 5 Tuc tuc drivers as soon as you step outside of the place, same for shop owners, restaurant, change ...
Great situation and view from the rooftop. Dorms are comfortable and clean. Bathroom is of top quality. Owner is very nice, rest of the staf is ok.

Great hostel with amazing views of the Taj Mahal on the rooftop terrace. It is still a hostel so don’t expect swanky towel vibes, it’s quite plain, but still rather clean and the private room was spacious enough for us for the night with a private bathroom. Value for money when considering how much you’d pay for a hotel with a view.

United KingdomStaff were not that interactive when I was there, and unfortunately there was no tours or events when I was there only an evening sunset walk outside the Taj. Luckily I made a couple friends but some more tours or ways of getting people together would have been good.
The location is fantastic, walking distance to the Taj and the rooftop was beautiful to be able to chill and look at the Taj Mahal and a beautiful view. The dorm was clean and had a lovely warm shower, with curtains around the beds. Rooftop was handy as was an opportunity for me to meet a couple of others. Breakfast was lovely.

United KingdomRoom was a little warm and stuffy at night but not overly so. I slept well.
The view of the Taj from the cafe rooftop was amazing. Still can't quite believe how good a view it is. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm and it was fine. Beds are a good size and the curtains did a good job of blocking out the light lockers were available to store my stuff. Staff are really nice and welcoming. We had a free sunset tour in the evening and they helped me sort a train ticket to my next destination for a minimal fee. The breakfast buffet was good value with pancakes, omlette, boiled eggs, toast, parata etc

India1) The Taj-view rooms do not have the clear view of the Taj Mahal due to Metal grill hence it is not value for money. 2) The rooftop restaurant was charging more than MRP (Marked retail price) for packaged goods such as cold drinks and bottled juice cans. 3) The rooftop restaurant was not operational hence people were ordering food from Zomato and other cloud kitchen
Nice location. The Taj Mahal is at walking distance Rooftop view is amazing.
