Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IndiaExceptional ambience... A very clean and well maintained property! Great staff ... The group activities planned at the hostel are the best.. Devang is an amazing host! Strongly recommended. Each dorm has two restrooms! And the rooftop cafe is a great place to hangout at. Met some really amazing people, the hosts made my stay unforgettable!

IndiaWhen you are in mood to travel and all set to land in a happening place, Joey's hostel is one such destination. My stay was short, but worthy of the journey. Joey's hostel has a well managed staff taking care of all your need during your stay. All praise to Devang for being such a caring host and Simran for being around, who made the stay look special. Got the chance to enjoy a lovely & tasty dinner prepared by Shyam & Deepak at the hostel's own kitchen which is on rooftop, and was organised for all guests. Loved the masala bhindi & palak paneer preparations 😋👌🏻. The hostel has a 24*7 service which makes it easier for travellers to check-in & check-out during late hours of night. The property is well located, with some good restaurants, eateries and coffee house all around the neighborhood. So if you are looking to explore Tapovan in Rishikesh, Joey's hostel is where you can start with 🍹🛵🪕🏞️

IndiaIn its price range it's the best so small minor inconvenience can be overlooked. Enjoy the peace ,fun and adventure
A small appreciation💕 for the family of Joey's 🫂thanks for making my trip unforgettable and very comfortable . This would be a memory i would cherish for my life✌️🫂 . Initially came accross to Joey's because of budget restrictions so I chose 8 bed dorm was little bit hesitant like how could they provide a stay at very nominal price but when I saw the room it was clean and every bed had proper clean curtains and bedsheets . The air conditioner was keeping the room chilled and very comfortable with it good air flow and bathrooms had proper flow of hot ♨️n cold water ❄️in showers. so facilities were good but what made it really special was Joey's staff aka the family and guest every one here made me feel "HOME" they all were having fun together noticing minute details guests need and even helping us by going out of their way ! i loved the secret water fall trek , Triveni ghat , the movies night with other fellow Voyagers . i know the review is quiet long but they deserve it . My special thanks to Ankit bhaiya very understanding. , Captain Adventurer Devang bro⛰️🌄🏞️ 🦍🫂, 🃏♣️♦️Sourav the magician♦️, Simran you were very polite and thanks helping with my injury and rest of the staff was really helpful and my suggestion to other visitors never keep your request to your self be expressive Joey's will find a best way to host u .

IndiaWell there was nothing which cannot be liked .
I booked a dorm and comparing my stay with other hostels in Rishikesh , Joey's was the best. The rooms were clean . The hosts were absolutely amazing . The overall environment was amazing . Looking at the high temperatures , the dorms and the common areas were absolutely worth staying . Will recommend all solo or group travellers to stay here and enjoy their trips.

IndiaThe stay was very comfortable. The entire staff is friendly and do not miss out on the sunrise from the terrace. Devang and Ankit were very supportive, the location is really good, the live music session was amazing and the dorm was very clean. I would recommend everyone to check out Joey's hostel at Tapovan. You guys could do something about the terrace though, maybe a little makeover. The rain could be a problem but something creative?

Great location and value for money BUT the best thing about it is the staff ❤️ they made me feel welcome and included from the moment I walked in and when I got really sick during my stay they went above and beyond to help me out as much as possible.
