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...).

IndiaI've been delaying this review because I do not want to think about my stay here - it was an extreme basic stay, the female dorm shown to me was through a few rooms, no natural ventilation, very sparse bedding. the toilet was large but very old - I didn't even feel like using it. I literally only slept here for 3 hours, before taking the early morning train to the next town. Goa is a safe place and while I did not worry about my safety here, it was not a nice stay since it is a poorly maintained hostel.
The girl sharing the dorm room was nice, chatted with her for a bit. The staff were okay. Railway Station was walking distance from here - only reason I stayed here

United KingdomStaff able to manipulate situations, and putting their own belief system before the customer. Some people may find loud music and the inability to hold down a conversation quite upsetting, especially for tourists looking for something specific. (i.e how to get to a beach(. I was told what beach, and to get a bus. We need far more information than that, what's the bus number? Heading east or west? What time is the last bus? How much does it cost? Is the beach busy or not? Does it close at a particular time? Do they do sports such as volleyball? Do I need to take a form of ID with me in case of security related issues? Coming from a service industry and country this is what should be mentioned, promoting local businesses with leaflets and pamphlets, the best modes of transportation etc. Travel and tourism is clearly not the staffs main ambition here.
The staff are always on hand to cater to your needs and requirements. They go above and beyond to make sure they have everything ready, if not they will prepare on demand. All you need to do is ask. Language barriers maybe a slight issue and could also be used to cover their mistakes, be careful in that respect.

Indiathere is absolutely nothing to like about this place except location. stayed in several hostels all over India and this hostel is absolutely the worst ever. Do yourself a favour by not booking this hostel to experience the worst stay. There are many nearby accommodations nearby at almost same price with far better facilities, cleanliness, etc

IndiaThere was no breakfast available. The wi-fi is non-existent. The washrooms are terrible. The staff tries to keep the place clean but they can only do so much considering that the washrooms are built so poorly and unfinished to begin with. The bathrooms need to be reconstructed and re-equipped with basic facilities. There is only one mirror/washbasin for 16 beds. The bathrooms are extremely old, run-down, and dirty despite the housekeeping person regularly checking and trying to ensure that the guests do not face any problems. Guests/residents keep smoking at the reception and inside the toilets. The flushe of the only usable toilet does not work.
Good location, very friendly and helpful staff.

New ZealandWifi doesn’t work anywhere bar reception. Beds are the worst we’ve slept in over our four months travelling, not even sure the linens are changed because they don’t smell clean. Facilities are horrendous, so dirty, didn’t even shower because it looked so filthy, it looks as though it’s never been cleaned..
Location was handy for the train station, only a ten to fifteen minute walk. Staff were friendly although the guy who checked us in was very slow.
