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 KingdomMusic on the roof terrace was quite loud at night
Stunning view of the Taj from the rooftop! Walking distance to the Taj, in a quieter part of Agra (very relaxing). Staff were great, helped me get henna for a very cheap price and organised a sunset walk for all traveler’s.

FranceService rather slow on the terrace. We had dinner but skipped the breakfast the next day for fear of loosing our visit time in Fatehpur Sikri.
Individual rooms like a hotel but general atmosphere like a hostel. Rather big hostel with a lot of staff, but well organized among themselves. Very close to Taj mahal and nice view from terrace. Comfortable and clean.

NetherlandsThe hostel is split in 2 buildings, with the front desk and rooms in one, and the common areas in the other. It's only 20 m between the two but it's a bit sketchy in a narrow and a bit dark and smelly alley.
We were really pleased with the large family room with a king size and bunk beds and private bathroom. It is simple but everything was clean, with functioning air co. We also loved the roof terrace for breakfast and to hang around in the evening.

IndiaThe disregard for playing loud music at any time of the day. The staff seemed active only when prompted to act and not proactive. Hostels will only run when the team is proactive.
the view from the property stood out for me. The travelers i met at the hostel, were really generous and kind.

IndiaThe entrance to the stay was unclean. The latch to our room wouldn't open or close that easily due to the humidity; we constantly needed assistance with the same. The washroom had a strong, unpleasant odour. The closet could use deep cleaning and the shower was leaking.
The hospitality & the vibe of the place was amazing. The staff was very friendly & helpful. We requested a ceiling tile to paint on and the staff was very enthusiastic in helping us out. The view of the Taj from the rooftop cafe and the music were amazing. The food and chai there was great too. :)

United StatesThe hot water didn't work well in one of our two rooms, but not really a necessity in India during summer.
Amazing view of Taj Mahal from our room! It was nice to have a 24/7 view and see its impressive silouette at night. The photos shown on the website reflect the view you see from the hostel. The breakfast was nice. It is quite common to see monkeys. The rooms were as expected, basic cleam and comfortable. The location is excellent to visit the Taj. Lanundry service was good and affordable.

MalaysiaThe electric cut off but it wasnt their fault
The location is good, walking distance to Taj Mahal. They also organize evening walk to a secret spot to see Taj Mahal during sunset (dont miss it!). The room was spacious and comfortable. However we had to checkout that night bcoz electric was cut off due some roadworks nearby. It was so hot about 46 degrees (June), the owner quickly arranged us to another hotel and make sure we feel comfortable.
