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...).

AustraliaAfter a rocky start and a change of rooms due to cleanliness issues we had a nice stay at Rahuls, electing to stay on extra night. It is in the back streets about 10 mins walk to the start of the main ghats but with a great view of the Ganges and quiet. Some rooms are rather old and others have been renovated. We had a fully renovated bathroom in our 2nd room with fantastic shower and very clean.

United KingdomThere was issues with the WiFi whilst I stayed, it wasn't the guest house's fault but it was annoying.
Staff were lovely and accommodating. The restaurant serves good food for cheap prices. It's a 10 minute walk to the Assi Ghat and there's local shops nearby. There is hot showers. Overall had a lovely time here and would come back.

United KingdomNear to Assi Ghat, the hotel is in a very peaceful location. It is perfect for meditation or just relaxing. I was warmly welcomed by the staff when I arrived. The room was large and ready for my arrival. Check in was very easy. The room had a great view of the Ganges and is great to watch the sun rise. After midday the balcony is in the shade so you can be comfortable sitting without becoming too hot. The rooftop restaurant is half covered so you can sit there without suffering from the sun or the rain. The view from here is amazing. The restaurant has a good sized menu and the quality of the food is very good and good value. There are also many excellent cafes and restaurants around the Assi Ghat area, within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Rahul the manager is very welcoming & helpful. Even before we arrived, he was very responsive and willing to help as I was getting a package delivered to varanassi. When it was delayed, he went out of his way to go to the post office and send it to my new location! The hotel it’s self has well equipped rooms and very good shower. The rooftop with ganga view was peaceful after walking through the streets of varanassi

United KingdomAir conditioning systems were outdated and very noisy or didn’t produce cold air. We had to move rooms because of it, but the second room was unfortunately quite dirty and the water pressure in the shower was very poor. We felt overcharged for facilities that didn’t work. Overall, it’s really in need of some major upgrades and TLC.
Great location with beautiful Ganga views and a sweet garden. Rahul was a kind person and wanted to help us. Quiet spot away from the noise of the city, but also walking distance from restaurants and the ghats.

IndiaThe property is over priced, we stayed in few other properties as well during our stay in Banaras which were much more comfortable with less price, we chose this property for new year thinking it’s going to give us some nice view and services, but the stay was no where close to what they are claiming, rooms where average and dirty, on the new year they didn’t even plan for a bonfire although 3-4 guest along with us requested for that they said this year we do not have many guest so won’t be doing that however we thought we will spend and celebrate on their roof top restaurant which they said would be open till 2 but after reaching there again 11 pm the property owner was drinking with his friends, they said us that you can order whatever you want by directly going to the kitchen and telling the cook, while I was checking the menu the cook came and closed the menu saying “nothing is available” basically he wanted to end his day so was in a hurry then they only gave us what was available we had dinner and went Back to our rooms, we also asked them if they can arrange a decoration inside our room, they said yes and charged us 1000/- after going back to room the decoration was not even worth 200/-, we know that it is some extra services that we requested but we didn’t request this to the property upfront they were already having decoration at their property and we asked if they can do it in our room as well, later the next day they started asking 500 more for the declaration which we were already not satisfied with, on the night of new years when the property owners were drinking at the rooftop I went there to ask for an extra blanket as it was very cold and but they were not even bothered to listen to our request and denied.
Only the location of the property is nice you get a view of the Ganga river at the far but not reachable
