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...).

IndiaThe managing guy at the counter spoiled the mood of my trip when he called me at the counter at 5 a.m to fight without talking to his senior & Colleagues, whom i already spoke with. He said my senior is sleeping, i can’t disturb him but he was able to make his guests uncomfortable. - requests were put up at an app called GLU but was not fulfilled, till you actually go to the reception and ask them multiple times.
The balcony view was good.

United KingdomThe staff at the property were unkind. I really felt like everyone that worked there hated me. When I first arrived I asked for help (it turns out the bridge joining this side or Rishikesh to the other is closed meaning if you want to go anywhere with a range of things to do (this area is quiet) it is over 1 hour walk to get to the other side, which is 35 degree heat is tough) when I asked the staff for help they were not empathetic or kind they shut me down and basically told me to get a grip. I understand it is not their fault but I would’ve appreciated some empathy- after this I left the hostel and had a little cry. Another issue I had with the staff was my friend was coming ( I paid for 2 people) she arrived after I had already checked in. She waited for 20 minutes but the staff didn’t acknowledge her so we left, then the next day one of the staff members asked who she was, we explained she was the additional guest. Then about 15 minutes later the door bell to the room rang on repeat, I had been sick and was in my underwear but opened the door as I was concerned. A man was there and told me I had to come to reception now, I asked if I could dress and he kept repeating come to reception now. I put a tshirt on despite his insistence because I wanted to have some dignity. Then I got to reception and a man told me I needed to give him my friends passport and visa - which is fine but he could’ve come up the 7 stairs to ask instead of sending me down almost in my underwear! Then he came up but made it very clear he was NOT happy and we exchanged the information with him. I really had a horrible time coming in and out the hostel I felt like I had to avoid eye contact with all the reception staff - I haven’t had this anywhere else in India. I completely understand working in hostels is hard but being kind can go a long way a even smiling when people arrive can make a difference. I like the building of the hostel so much but I was so upset with the rest :(
The rooftop is gorgeous. It’s a lovely space! The air-con in the room was brilliant and it was lovely to have soap, shampoo and conditioner - which all smelt lovely.

IndiaThe phone number on the site is not working. When we arrived there is no way to get to the hotel using your own vehicle, which was not communicated, the staff at reception were rude, he was acting up as if it was our mistake. They had a restaurant or cafe on the 4th floor, the food was pathetic and they took almost 45 mins to serve. Overall very disappointed, i don't think i will come back to this place
The rooms were clean and good location to explore other cafes/restaurants, ghats etc.

EstoniaPeople walking in and out of our dorm, people who didn't stay there, just to talk to their friends at 3 am, also drank alcohol which is not appropriate in dorms and Rishikesh in general. Could not sleep. Quiet hours didn't exist.

IndiaCallous attitude of management, It was very difficult to reach property. They did not provide telephone number of Reception desk, gave confusing address . . This may be a good choice for a backpacker using public transport but not for a person coming by Taxi and taking full room., Also there was no window in room. , Definitely not recommonded for a full room customer.
Like the location and Friendliness of Staff

Hosteller has recently open right at the Ganga, while the overall services are great the only draw back some guests might face is that there is no transport to reach the hostel because the bridge is still being done, but thats not the hostellers fault, the view they provide is breath taking!

The stay was nothing less than a dream. The room, washroom, common area, everything was clean and equipped with all the basic and necessary amenities. We got to know that this was a newly opened property but even then they were managing it very well. The small issues we faced were all taken by the staff immediately. And above all, the staff always had a smile on their face and were very approachable. And lastly, the food was delicious (except for the sandwich), we had tried everything from snacks to main course to beverages. The taste, the presentation was 5 star.
