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...).

IndiaThe service of the staff is on the weaker side. It took 2 hours for us to get fresh towels and generally to get anything here you need to call at least twice.
The location of this property is the highlight, and that is what makes me keep wanting to come back here. This was my third stay at this property in the last five months.

United Statesnot allota foreigners to balance the intense Delhi vibe . (as was the case at Joeys in Delhi which had a mix of foreigners ) .. some staff coped disrespectful attitude... which is uncool.. imo.. Young staff under pressure and learning to manage.. okay.. can forgive.. but being disrespectful .. hmmm..- hard to forget.. still recommend..
Good scene.. central. and on the Ganga!! . kind of a youthful buzz place on the budget circuit.. good peeps... good staff support overall..

IndiaI had the pleasure of staying at a wonderful property joeys by the Ganges with a breathtaking view of the Ganga. The location was perfect, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Waking up to the sight of the river flowing calmly in the morning was truly magical. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and the staff was incredibly attentive, always ready to help with anything we needed. The highlight of the stay was definitely the view – it’s hard to describe the beauty of the Ganga at sunrise and sunset. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat with a stunning river view, this place is highly recommended!

The hotel staff (David, Diksha, Aman) are exceptionally kind, treating guests with the utmost respect and hospitality. If you’re staying here, you won’t have to worry about anything—just ask, and they’ll be happy to assist. I stayed in the dorms, which were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. One of the best things about this hotel is its location right beside the River Ganga. There is a direct path to the ghat just below the hotel. I spent an hour there alone at night, surrounded by tranquility and peace. It was wonderful. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend it.

United KingdomNot their fault but nearby footbridge closed so need to access by boat ferry or walk from other bridge .. scooter handy. The registration is online which my phone struggled with but guy at reception did it for me .
We had one of the new double rooms with a fab balcony and view of the Ganges . Nice decor and design in room with new bathroom etc. good to have kettle and re in room with water provided . The cafe on roof is a real bonus. They have occasional music nights and sound stops by 10.30 .

IndiaThere is shortage of Baggage loading/unloading staff since we had checked out of the room by 11.00 AM on 12/02/2025, however, we had to wait till 1.30 PM at the reception because our room had been allotted to the next booking person. The existing staff was busy doing up the rooms and loading the baggage of the arrived group of tourists. Despite our repeated requests to the staff they did not load our baggage in my Car. As a result of the unnecessary delay i had to miss an appointment in ROORKEE which was on the way to DELHI where I stay. My suggestion is to recruit at least TWO more persons who should be assigned only the work of UNLOADING/LOADING of the BAGGAGE'S. The management of the hotel recognize the value of time for themselves and others. Kindly take corrective action on this issue i have highlighted. Besides this drawback me and my wife had a very memorable stay. I also appreciate the excellent service given by all the staff members especially Mr David and Ms Diksha. I would love to stay in your property again with my Family including my two grown up Son's soon. We loved your property and the location by the GANGES. Thank you all for giving both of us a very memorable stay.
Breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect.

IndiaA great property in Rishikesh. Well maintained dorms, clean bedding and blankets, daily cleaned washrooms and equipped with all toiletries, essentially a fully furnished stay. Helpful and friendly staff, a great rooftop cafe and chill people to hang out with. Definitely recommend this property, and my go-to location the next time I’m in Rishikesh. 10/10
