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 care taker guy was deceitful to some extent. Initially on the day of check in, I asked for some water and he straight away denied saying we don't have water. Secondly he did not believe I paid the half amount as advance. He made multiple calls to some guy conforming that I actually paid while I already showed him the online receipt. On the day of the check out, he asked me when I would leave. I said at around 11 am. He said we do check outs by 10 am. I showed him the policy of booking.com that clearly states the check out time is 11-11:30 am, to which he said we are private property and do not follow rules of booking.com We have our own rules. Irony is inside the room there was a board of rules, even in that the check out time is 11 am. I stayed till 11 am when my can arrived, and I left. But the lie n hassle was not worth it. What was the guy thinking? I heard so many good things about Mitra Hostel but such behaviour is not understood. If you can't abide by booking.com rules, take your property off of that website then. Stop fooling people n lying to them buddy. Your aim should be to take care of customer's needs, not cause unnecessary problems.
Location is good. Nice market nearby. Beach is 5-6 min walk. Bed provided was comfortable. No noise

India1. It was no where mentioned while booking whether it was AC or non AC. But they told it is non AC. and the mistake lies that booking.com side also. I don't how you guys not even mentioned that. 2. It was mentioned that lockers were provided. And the rule is we should bring our own lock. I think it a new rule from. 3. Colourful water 😂😂

The hostel is walkable distance from beach. One of the most beautiful beach i have seen. The host was really cooperative and helpful. One who wants to come for workation or for more days, it is a good place. And they have kept it clean.

IndiaThis is the worst hostel experience I ever had … Not recommend to anybody, rooms are small, untidy, dirty, ants everywhere, spider nets under the bed, no water in washroom, after reaching there figured why they have no room pictures online , only common area pictures are shown. We booked for two days but any how spent one night there.

GermanyI found the bathrooms in bad conditions, sometimes the light or the toilets didn't work. There were a lot of spider webs and it wasn't very clean. There's also pretty loud music during most of the day in the communal space which was a bit too much sometimes for me. I also found overpriced but I was there during Christmas so I guess that's normal. The dorm I stayed at was also pretty cramped. The room was made for two bunk beds but they put three. Sometimes the ac stopped working for days and it got crazy hot in the room
It was super easy to meet people so the vibe was good and they had food service during the day. The manager is also a nice guy and tries to help everyone

OmanReally not sure how the place had such a high rating. Dirty rooms and broken things in the bathroom. Zero safety with our things. No locks for the doors, no lockers. Anyone can come and go as they please. The staff were all so stoned and slow. Wasn’t sure of our check out dates. The girl in my room kept yelling and switching off the AC in the middle of the night. Will never go near that place again.
Happy to leave the place :)
