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 property has exceptional views of Ganga, they have private ghat access as well. Also, they have a rooftop cafe with amazing sunset views and great food options. The dorms are very hygienic and spacious. The property has a very warm and safe vibe as a female solo traveler I felt very safe there because the staff is so friendly and helpful. It is a very happening property as every weekend they have events like techno party, live music and open mic. I would recommend this property to everyone who is planning to visit Rishikesh.

If you’re planning a trip to Rishikesh, staying at Joey’s by the Ganges is something you should definitely consider. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the rooftop café has amazing views of the Ganga. I loved the private ghat access and the fun events like live music nights—they made my stay really enjoyable. As they say, "Sometimes it’s about the people you meet." I was lucky to meet Amar, Shyam, Vishu, and Medha, who made my time there even better. Joey’s isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience you’ll remember for a long time.

BrazilThe building with stairs may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility, but it wasn't a problem for me. Apparently the establishment doesn't have a storage room, so they end up leaving a lot of things in the hallways. The cleanliness of the common areas wasn't exactly exemplary, but it wasn't a problem for me either. I would stay here again, but I think these aspects could be improved.
I really enjoyed staying here. As soon as I arrived, I had a personal problem, and the entire staff mobilized to help me resolve it. I spent very happy days here. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to be close to Ganga in a very friendly neighborhood.
