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...).

IndiaIn all fairness, we were in Varanasi when it was amazingly crowded (during Kumbh), but still the value proposition and hotel location are not worth it. The hotel itself is located at least half an hour away from anything worthwhile. On top of that the hotel is under staffed and a lot of facilities just seem incomplete. Hope things pick up from here.
This is a new hotel and that becomes apparent very quickly. However the staff (at least one of them) was very helpful and co-operative. Special mention of Madhav who seemed to be the only person running around and doing everything from odd jobs and maintenance to room service and manning the reception at night.

IndiaDistance. Attention to details: not have toilet paper, one hanger. Unusual for the kind of property and pricing.
Clean and quiet. Outside is excellent to sit and relax. Given the unusual circumstances I think it is a good place. I would have liked to get a chair in the room.

NorwayFood menu was limited and service was a bit slow at the restaurant. This could be because it was quite late.
The main reason for rating this resort quite high is because of the staff. They embody the true principles of hospitality and service by going above and beyond their responsibilities to help a foreign traveler like me during the busiest period in Varanasi (Kumbh Mela festival ongoing). Everything from finding a local guide to fixing a local transport (Tuk-Tuk or motorbike) to making food late in the evening to translating for me, they did it with sincerity. This goes the same for the staff at Art Varanasi (the sister hotel). For the couple of dishes I ordered, it was really tasty and authentic. And this is my evaluation after having stayed at several fancy 5-star hotels in India during my trip.

IndiaBreakfast was below average very limited choice of food. .There were only three dishes to choose from .Food quality was terrible and below average. Short staffed , service was very poor and tool a long time for order to come on to our tables.No cutlery and crockery. A cup of tea took 20 minutes to arrive on the table .This was the case when there were no other guests in the coffee shop besides three of us.
One staff boy Madhav and the lady at the reception were exceptionally good and helpful with the limited resources available to them. Location is good as its away form the main hustle bustle of the city so it is quite and peaceful. Lunch served to us on the day we arrived was good.

IndiaThey can’t even give you the bill. They write on paper manually and give it to you for which they take hours. Food service is pathetic. You will need to wait for at least two hours if you order something. Breakfast is being prepared after 9 am. Room service is pathetic. The manager here is very irresponsible, even after telling him that the trip is extended, he forgets and will call you to check out. He has no sense of hospitality business at all and is not courteous
