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.).

IndiaWe are a group of four girls on a trip and we booked a stay here.The property was very peaceful and has a great vibe.It was in a safe location and close to all the hotspots of the city. We had an amazing experience here and it is highly recommended for a group of friends. హాస్టల్ చాలా బాగుంది. నగరానికి దగ్గర్లో చాలా సౌకర్యంగా ఉంది.ఆడపిల్లలకి కూడా భయం లేకుండా తిరిగే లాగ ఉంది.తక్కువ ధరలో మంచి చోట ఉండాలంటే ఇది తప్పనిసరిగా ప్రయత్నించండి.

IndiaI recently had the pleasure of spending a month at Julley Commune Rishikesh, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome and at home. Everyone at the commune were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The rooms at Julley Commune are well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. I loved the cozy atmosphere and the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The communal areas, including the cafe and outdoor spaces, are perfect for relaxing and socializing with fellow travelers. One of the highlights of my stay was the food at the on-site cafe, Gossip. The menu offers a delicious range of Indian and international dishes, all made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. During my stay, I also appreciated the various amenities and activities available, including the bonfire nights, workstation, and outdoor games. The commune is also perfectly located, with easy access to the city and local transport. Overall, I would highly recommend Julley Commune Rishikesh to anyone looking for a welcoming and relaxing place to stay. Whether you're a solo traveler, couple, or family, this commune has something for everyone

BangladeshGetting to the property was difficult with heavy luggage & without a car. The road to the property is quite inclined from main Tapovan road. I hope I had that information earlier so that we could prepare accordingly. Fine for younger, fit people but would advise people with physical limitations to consider the facts before booking.
We booked the Bhagirathi room (mentioned as Triple Room with mountain view). Super spacious room with great view. Clean with required amenities. Tons of space to walk around the property. Restaurants nearby with good menu selection. Owner is very friendly & helped us with all required info. Staffs are cordial as well. Overall a good stay.
