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...).

IndiaShould have mentioned about that part " you need to put on your shoes/ carry them" because there's 10-15 mins uphill trek to reach the hostel.
Loved the experience. Have been to Darjeeling quite number of times but this place gave me a completely new experience and perspective. The food here is too good. I would stay in and eat food from the hostel. They mini parties and celebration . Everything is so warm. Will recommend this stay to everyone. And will come back to this stay everytime I go Darjeeling!

United KingdomA few areas that could be improved but not an issue if you know about them before going: - would be nice to have a proper shower with wall mount for head and screen to stop the floor getting wet rather than a bath tub with a loose shower on a hose. - hostel is in slightly remote area so be prepared to walk approx 1H into Darjeeling town. Most guests came with motor scooters which is perfect for the area and would solve this issue entirely. -would be good to have under bunk lockers to allow guests to lock things away with own lock; the place felt very safe so was not worried about theft but an amenity that is expected for most hostels.
Beautiful location in the nature set aside from any busy areas. Very friendly staff and nice vibe from other guests, evenings spent together watching movies and socialising. Food was excellent and good variety. The rooms were kept clean, beds comfortable.

IndiaGood experience in this hostel. Just one thing negative for this property is that it's far from the centre. You can rent two wheeler or taxi to reach there and explore the city. Rest all things in this property was excellent.

IndiaBeautiful location, great homely food, cozy dorms and spacious washrooms, friendly hosts. This place truly defines what slow travel should look like. Soak the sun, breathe in the fresh air, wake up to the sounds of toy train, can’t get better than this. Definitely going back to spend a longer time.

IndiaNothing as of now.
The property is at offbeat location, lush green all around with an inspiring view of kunchenjunga. The staff is also really good. I booked for 2 days but later extended my stay due to excellent hospitality and offcourse the hostel environment. I highly recommend this if you are looking to stay in darjeeling.
