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...).

It was like being with a family. I got home-made food to suit my requirement, which is rather demanding, no chilli, little fat, lots of cold coffee. Really enjoyed my one-week stay..

IndiaChamba kitni dur.. yes it is but Proto Hostel made the journey worth it..The hospitality..good human nature the kindness.. the love and affection is something that just stood out and differentiates you guys from the rest.. there was no match to it and I'm saying this coz I've travelled across so many regions met so many amazing good people but it was way too different this time..and I'm happy that Chamba is so unexplored and untouched.. It's the people who will make your stay worthwhile.. So to begin with it's a perfect stay if you are looking to work from a peaceful place.. with an amazing view right from your dorm bed.. trust me you'll feel so blessed when you wake up to that view of river and mountains.. Mann hi nahi bharta usse dekh k n neither I got bored seeing it everyday.. it's perfectly located I'll say not too far or too near from the market.. just where it needs to be away from the crowd at the same time.. it's easily accessible from the main market you get buses which will drop you right outside the hostel.. stayed there for a week and still felt that's not enough.. for people who look forward to work from mountains I think it's one of the best places to work from out of all the places I've visited so far.. the internet is good they have wi-fi too which is good.. they do have power backup just in case.. they have good workcation packages too which will not burn a hole in your pocket.. the food is quite pocket friendly and is served fresh.. Ajith will never say no to any of your requests if you want to have something any time of the day and that too with a warm smile.. he puts in so much effort and love in everything that he cooks.. the hostel is just impeccably clean.. the washrooms too even though there are shared washrooms it's just super clean.. the dorm beds are very comfortable.. also every little detail is taken care of right from the switches to the security of the hostel..

Proto hostel is the first and for now the only hostel in chamba town and what an amazing job rudraksh had done in providing this kind of option for travelers and backpackers. the hostel is quite new so it looks beautiful and is well-maintained. the 6-beds dorm was cozy and had a nice view of the ravi river and the surrounding mountains. the beds are comfortable, there are lockers and even an air-conditioner. there's also a really pretty rooftop restaurant and another workspace for digital nomads and others who want to work remotely while enjoying nature. rudraksh the owner is a very special guy, kind and wise, and i had really interesting conversations with him about chamba, life and everything in between, plus he can help you with all the information you need regarding traveling in chamba valley. although the hostel is not located at the heart of the city but on its outskirts, you can easily catch a bus, take a taxi or just walk to the center so it's not a big issue. overall an amazing experience, and for me even a surprising one considering the fact you generally don't find these kind of high-end hostels in remote places like chamba

NorwayAmazing host and hostel all together. Proto Hostel genuinely care about you, and want you to have the best experience. They helped to organise my motorcycle trip, as Sache pass was closed. They were well informed and had lots of knowledge about motorcycle trip in India. Great hostel, clean, well maintained, good food. This is the place to stay if you are a biker of traveller going to Chamba.
