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...).

FranceI did not feel completely safe when entering the facilities and room.. but for a short night it was ok. Reception as per hostel standards
Good location and does the job for a night before visiting Taj Mahal. Was noisy when we arrived but really appreciate that all roof top animations stop at 10pm, it’s respectful for guests who wakes up early the day after, rooms are comfy for the price

PortugalLockers were super rusty and screws loose, anyone could forcefully open one with just his hands, so not very safe to store the luggage during the night
Amazing location (Taj and some restaurants super close). Room decently clean for India standards. Terrace with amazing view of the Taj.

GermanyThe staff was amazing. The were so eager to help is any time and to make our stay as good as possible. They helped us with organising trips and told us what a good price for a tuktuk is. The food was amazing and the view from the rooftop Bar is great as well and the entrance to the Taj Mahal is only 5 Minute walking distance. Moreover they arranged a cab for us to get to agra from Delhi which worked very well.

AustriaCan't think of anything.
Maybe three minutes away from the Taj entrance gate. Stunning view of the Taj from the rooftoop bar. They also serve free chai from around 4pm. Cool staff. Every day they'll take guests to a nice sunset spot right next to the Taj.

CanadaThe air conditioned in the first room didn't work. They were kind enough to give us a second room after check-in, but AC was barely better (it was 37 degrees outside). TV didn't work. This was one of the most expensive room we paid in over 2 months traveling: average value for money paid. Internet was fast, but only when it was working!!
Super friendly and helpful staff. Amazing views of Taj Mahal from rooftop restaurant. Great breakfast buffet (not included on our room price). Nice chilled atmosphere with mostly backpackers.

ItalyI think the offer of food was more western- oriented than Indian only. I would have preferred more Indian options in the menu to choose from. And the waiting time for orders was waaay too long for what we ordered!
I like the atmosphere and the common areas such as the terrace where we could stay for masala chai and enjoy some time and chat with the other guests.

SerbiaWe stayed at a double room facing the street. Dirty windows that can’t be opened. Fan seemed dangerous like it’s gonna kill us any second 🤣 Breakfast disappointing. Instead of the mattresses were some old thick yellow sponges.
Nearby Taj Mahal. Rooftop with nice view to Taj Mahal. They offered me Sari to wear to Taj Mahal for free.
