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.).

United KingdomBathroom was a bit small, but had plenty of hot water. We would advise too that you negotiate the train station transfer cost before confirming with the hotel.
Great size room, easy walking distance to several temples, and access to Assi Ghat. Great value for money. Bed was very large and comfortable, liked the large table - good for using the laptop. Staff very helpful, owner's wife helped us to book a sunrise trip on the Ganges and arranged a car to take us to Sarnath as well. Both were great excursions.

GermanyHousekeeping improvement necessary, too loud.
The choice of Hotel Rajyashtree Palace was based on the very good reviews on Booking and Tripadvisor. We can confirm these reviews for the hotel manager himself. Before the stay he was very helpful in organizing boat tours on the Ganges river. During our stay he showed us two temples as part of a city walk and helped us in any question we had, really pleasnat approach. The room photos posted online show a nicer picture compared to reality. Our room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable to sleep on. However, the housekeeping could be even better, you shouldn't look into the so-called "corners", for example greasy light switches. The room requires a refurbishment. The Hotel Rajyashtree Palace is located at a busy intersection, even late at night it is very noisy. Ear plugs don't help either. Sleep is out of the question before midnight.

United KingdomThe area is so noisy (trafic and honking) that they give rooms without windows to their foreign guest so that they can sleep. It is better indeeed than being on the street, that make sense, but the impression of being in a room without windows is not very pleasant. So, I understand it but I would not say that I like it. Apart from Anand, the staff does not speak English. There is a relatively long way to walk in very busy streets to the most interesting ghats.
The staff is great. Very helpful Nepalese guy in the staff, always tried to help, as well as Anand, the manager. The room is large and clean. The food provided by the hotel is good, even though it is only vegeterian, not even chicken. The boat trip was nice.

The way Anand welcomed us, the tour he did around the city and the pick up he managed from the airport to the hotel and the way back. The staff that took our luggages when we arrived and at the end of our stay.

EstoniaThe staff was really friendly, asking every time if there is something we need. We were a bit shocked with Varanasi traffic on the first day and the host was really with calm manner and offered us water. Room is really okay according to Varanasi standards. Our room was a bit noisy but it is quite noisy everywhere in Varanasi. If you need to work then you should look for quieter places. But if you are just coming for a sleepover then just bring your earplugs. Otherwise clean and the bed was comfortable. There was also an extra thick blanket for cooler weather. When we needed something we just asked and got what we needed - new towels etc.

GermanyThe photos look way more promising than the actual place. Unfortunately it's located right by the main road and the traffic noise is insane until past midnight. I could be cleaner. Standards are obviously different then in the west but for India, this place isn't cheap.

PolandThe room had a window from the street side so it was really noisy until around 10 PM. Also the pressure of hot water was not good and the toilet flush was dripping onto the floor.
It was a really nice place close to the city centre and all the important monuments. The staff, including the owner, was very kind and helpful, tried to organize anything for us and helped whenever we needed it. Also small gestures like tea together when we were leaving or letting us stay a bit longer were really great. The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean. Good price for a good accommodation
