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.).

IndiaHighly disappointed...the front desk person was rude.dont get fooled by the photos. He was not even ready to consider me and thinking about to fill the bed with other customer instead of i hv booked the same in prior. I got the upper site of the bed..while climbing it was too shaky. I asked him for mattress to put on floor...so it will be more easier for me but there was no response. not even a single fan in the room and ac also works in the night only..the whole evening ac was off.there was one small table fan on the bed wall...that means if u want ventilation u have to climb n switch on the same. I asked him for lower site..as he said tomorrow morning it will be available...he wasn't even bother to inform the same. The drawers are without lock n key.that means if u hv to carry the same for ur own belongings. As there wasn't refund policy for cancellation..I paid whole amount...but I didn't even stayed there..n unfortunately I looked for some other hotel nearby.

IndiaThey do not mention that they have non ac hours for their AC dorms. Their in house pantry is unhygienic and too costly. Even the rooms smelled weird, and bedsheets were not changed between guests. I would try some other place on my next visit.

PhilippinesGuess what, I found a mouth piece on my bed the first time I laid on my top bunk bed. There were also some used table napkins so I wonder if my bed was really clean. During my first day, the attached toilet was really dirty. But greatly improved the day after it was cleaned by the staff. Wifi here needs to be improved. Add more routers to the 2nd floor as it does not work well inside the dorm room and the balcony common area.
Bed was comfortable but it was not clean. Location is very good as it is near restaurants and Assi Ghat.

Germanya girl in our dorm got sexually harassed by another guest. this guest was not kicked out until 10 of us guests had to tell the staff again and again. it was horrible to see how normalized sexual harassment is. also the music on the terrace was way too loud, from early in the morning
the roof terrace is very chill, the food is delicious and the hostel staff gave good recommendations for things to do in Varanasi

IndiaThat the person sitting on the desk was a Lil arrogant. Not much but just a little. Also, a few days later someone easily got the access to their register of stay and found out my contact details and also my ID number. isn't this a breach of privacy? Shouldn't the people out there be a little more careful and shouldn't give any XYZ the access of their register?
That the manager made sure i get a room .

IndiaThere was no curtain on the bed, making it uncomfortable to sleep inthe night, cz it was a shared room, and people kept switching on the lights (which is normal, ofc, a cutain would have made it comfortable). We did ask the reception staff to provide a curtain, but they couldn't arrange it. Hoping for a better stay, next time! I have always stayed in moustache, in almost all your properties. I thought sharing an honest review might help to improve the services.
The cleanliness was exceptional! Really loved the room and the crowd.

IndiaIt's expensive for a hostel. Secondly, the receptionist's sleeping arrangement is out in the open cold. Rather jarring! With such a big hostel, surely he can be given a bed indoors.
