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...).

Friendly and helpful staff. No cockroaches is a definite plus in Delhi. Located off the main drag so as quiet as can be expected during Diwali. I'd return.

ItalyActually hotel Fantastic doesn’t exist, the real hotel is Hindustan by backpackers, I didn’t like the mystery until we arrived. The receptionist was a bit rude, accepted our good booking.com price just for one night than he raise 700 rs. The toilet seat was broken, there was a bad smell in the toilet, the grate for the shower drain was not fixed and sometimes the hole was unprotected. Food of restaurant was average.
The room was big, nice, with a little balcony, ac and fan working, small fridge, very comfortable bed, good shower gel, good location for Paharganj.

Sri LankaOnly downside is the street outside. It might not be for everyone. The lane was rather dirty with garbage scattered throughout the street. It's not situated in the cleanliest part of Delhi. But it is walking distance to the street bazars, cafes and bars.
What I like about the place were the accommodative staff. The staff were super helpful and quick to fulfil any requests, from serving food to the room, providing extra towels, sheets or any other cleaning requests. The food at the hostel was good. Had the best biriyani from the whole trip there.

United KingdomFirst it's not called Delhi Fantastic, you won't find it with this name. Instead it's called Hindustan by Backpackers Heaven. We were looking for the hostel for almost an hour arriving at this street and leaving after not finding it. We tried ringing hostel and took multiple attempts to get through to learn of it's diffrent name. Also only wanted cash which wasn't mentioned before booking.
OK value and comfortable bed. There are 2 metro stations near by one in walking distance other little further but worth a rickshaw with bags. I would recommend this for travelling around Delhi and from airport much cheaper and very efficient compared to taxi hostel offers.

ArgentinaI did not like that, first of all, I booked the taxi with them and they chraged me 700 INR when Uber showed that it could be done for 400. Second AND WORSE. They took me to another location, I mean, another hostel DIFFERENT to the one I booked on Booking and told me that their boss have 5 hostels around and they changed me because they got a huge group of europeans coming to the other hostel and so they had to move me WITH NO PREVIOUS NOTICE. They never told me they would change my hostel, SO, imagine myself arriving at Delhi ALONE, AT NIGHT and BEING TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT PLACE. IT SUCKED. SO SO SO DISSAPOINTING, I cannot believe how the reservation was managed through Booking and this happened. I think i will not even use Booking again. Later, a friend told me (who has spent most of summers in India), that this is something that happens in Delhi... they take you to a different place and charge you more for the new location so basically they SCAM you. To me they charged the same, but wahtever, it was a terrible first experience in India.
The space of the rrom was ok. The bathroom was clean and toilet paper and towels were provided for each bed.

IndiaThe fraud that they carry in several property names. Interestingly I booked UNV Hostel, but here I'm writing review for Hostel Delhi Fantastic. Isn't this a fraud? The hostel is in narrow, smelly bylane and quite poorly maintained. I saw dog poop all over the floors. Room linen had hair strands, which means it wasn't replaced after previous guest check-out. No natural light, damp and very uncomfortable atmosphere. Probably hippies on low budget will only like it. And btw, the location on Maps is totally wrong.

IndiaThe communication was horrible. They are simply fraudulent mucks. They tried to scam me. Asked me to come to a different location instead of the hostel location given on on the app. Upon refusal to go at their provided location on WhatsApp and refused to contact further, they told the number registered on booking.com is a wrong number
