How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Rooms get a bit stuffy in the summer but that’s not surprising!
Great little place to stay in Pushkar - family who run the place are so lovely and genuine helping with any enquiries! Rooms are smallish but comfy and quiet - hot water and wifi!

It is a little bit hidden and I was lucky that someone assisted me to find the guest house when I arrived
The staff are very nice and kind people, super clean, a little bit small but for the price I paid it is fair enough. I'd definitely come back

The staircase is steep and narrow and if you’re on the 4th floor you have to walk all the way up and down with all your luggage which is quite hard
Great value for money stay right by the lake in Pushkar. The room is small but for the price can’t complain. And the hot water actually works for the shower which is very rare!

What a stay! Rooms are very basic but also pretty clean and have everything you need. The view from the terrace is just amazing, you can watch the sunset or relax there during the day. Although it's in the centre, rooms are peaceful and quiet. Also, the place is near many cafes and restaurant, the market and all the temples are just a few minutes by walk, as well as the bus station. But mainly - Rahul and his family are super nice, generous and helpful. He helped me with anything I needed and asked, which was very special. As a female solo traveller, I felt really safe here. I would definitely come back!

A welcoming hotel in the heart of Pushkar. The family run hotel were friendly on our arrival, showing us our clean and tidy room with good air-con. The location is ideal for visiting the lake, markets and nearby restaurants, all within a two minute walk away. The rooftop also has some great views over the local area, would definitely recommend staying here.

Staying with Rahul and his family made me feel completely at home. The hostel had a great price quality ratio! For a small price you got a spacious room with balcony and air conditioning. The hostel is located in a quiet area . Very beautiful mountain view from balcony and lake view from rooftop is amazing.

The entrance to the homestay is a bit awkward with a low height dilapidated arch gate welcoming guests to a narrow alley. Bathroom didn't have any window or an exhaust fan, which they should install.
(a) Location : Closest possible stay from Pushkar Lake (Varaha Gate), Varaha Mandir and the main market chouraha. Can't be any better than this location. (b) Room : Very basic homestay style rooms with and without AC /view. Upper floor rooms are bigger and with a view and AC. Rooms are clean. Bed lines are clean. Bathroom was clean too. AC worked perfectly. Can't complain about anything, given the price point (c) Host : Very cordial. Even of you arrive early, depending upon the availability, you would be given a room without any hassel. Check-in is simple. The whole family acts as a great friendly hosts. (d) Food : didn't try their food , so wont be able to comment.
