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...).

IndiaThey are cheaters… first they confirm the booking I did by mistake for male dormitory and took money too… and when I arrived the venue they said I am not allowed to enter in that room. Then I ask for the refund and they were not ready to give and as a alternative they said they will put the mattress over ground I need to sleep there or at top floor in tent which was too dirty… It was shameful how u can confirm the booking take the money and then behave in such a way

IndiaNot at all clean. Washrooms felt as if you're living in slums. Overall it is an Extremely bad hostel - Staff refused to turn on the dorm ACs even at 40°C despite us being ready to pay extra. Broken games(not even a carrom can you imagine?) extremely-extremely ill maintained washrooms, elder people living in the dorms with you and the worst part - staff frowns upon if you hang out in the common areas or your room after 11 PM. Worst hostel experience ever. Please do not let your otherwise really spectacular experience of Varanasi be attached to bad hospitality at GoStops.
Only the location. That too because a lot of major points are nearby. There are more hostels here with better location and better people too.

IndiaDirty, Outsiders Comes to Drink & Spoil the Gathering, play loud music nd Don't allow you to play yours, Use highly abusive language in front of girls.. nd staff knows about this. Wifi Policy is just Worst... This is the Worst GoStops i have Ever stayed. Very cheap policy by gostops to earn some extra bucks from wifi. Tell me one things, you guyz are now offering long stays? So do you thinks its possible for someone to work in 2gb per day Net restrictions? That too with such a low speed nd only One device allowed.. Whoever is Making this policies, he/she will spoil you Brand name. Cleanliness & Connectivity, you can't save money on this. What makes you think, that someone will comes from another city, spending thousands on travel to use your wifi only ? Commn, This is cheapest policy i have ever seen.. I stayed in Many GoStops in past 7 months. This is my Worst Ever Experience. Nd on top That.. Families were coming to stay in hostel, 10-15 auntie come nd when they see people enjoying in common room with beer nd all.. that scene was out of the world. They were shocked nd started shouting. So that means gostops management is breaking all their policies to earn money. Its has become, more like dharamsala.. I use to love gostops before this.. Don't spoil your image for few bucks🙏

SpainThe staff was rude and extremely unfriendly. The room was waaaay different than in the pic. The option of early check in on availability is a big fat lie. They told us the room is available but check in is at 13:00. And after showing the messages on booking, the guy at the front desk (rishal), was unable to do anything and did not allow us to talk to the boss/supervisor. All of this while being extremely rude. He did not even let us go in the common area while waiting to solve this (and left us outside in the extreme heat). Also they don't give you the wifi password until the official check in time which makes no sense (it's a way to keep customers happy, specially after all, but no, they don't want to keep you happy). Also, the room they gave us had NOTHING to do with the room on the booking photo. I understand they always make the photos look good, but it's not even the same room or similar, it's, at least, half the size, doesn't have the same furniture, a small window and all in all a dark hole... DON'T GO TO THIS HOSTEL.
