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...).

United KingdomBasic rooms but all you need for a short stay. Good location, although finding it takes some practice! Fantastic roof top terraces with a great view of the Ganges day and night. Wi-Fi was good. Pleasant staff.

SpainThe place is nice, although we chose the cheapest room and some water leaked in due to the rain. I think if you choose a better room on the second floor, you won't have these issues.
The stay has been very good. We arrived very late, and yet the chef prepared dinner for us. He has been very kind throughout our stay, preparing a delicious breakfast for us every day and engaging in friendly conversation. They were always very kind, and the views from the terrace are incredible.

New ZealandThe fan wasn't very good and there was another huge fan but it was incredibly loud, so couldn't be on at night. My son found the bed very hard and slept poorly
We loved the location. Being able to sit up on the balcony and watch the activity below on the ghats was a highlight for us. It was close to everything we needed.

CambodiaThe rooms were a little hot but nothing that wasn't manageable, we also had an issue with being locked in early in the morning, so make sure you ask someone the night before to leave it open for you.
The view from this place is incredible. It is right on the Ganga and we were so impressed with such an incredible view in the heart of varanasi. The staff were helpful 🙂

AustraliaFoot paths and paths to get to the hotel (OUTSIDE the venue) were not very clean but this is Varanasi. Hopefully in the future the City can be cleaner.
Great location and staff were very nice and helpful. Simple but clean rooms. Amazing view to the Ganga.

United KingdomIt is quite difficult to get to. Small part of the way has to be by foot but people from the hotel come and meet you to help with luggage. Room was quite basic but bed very comfortable. Room I had was next to steps leading to the river which meant there is some noise from passing people and dogs tended to be somewhat noisy at night but this would not deter me from staying here again.
Best location. View of the Ganges excellent. Service was good. Very good WiFi. Lots of little stores and cafes nearby. Food served was quite nice. Would stay again.

IndiaThe rooms are very old, and lack basic facilities (for eg each room had just one charging point), and the time we went it was pretty full of mosquitoes as well.
Located right on the Ghats, its a 5 min walk from Dasashwamedh, and a great place to be at if you're mainly looking to relax around Banaras and walk around the ghats. Staff are super friendly and courteous.

SpainThe food. Overpriced. Small and tiny portions. Always taking extremely long. One example, club sandwich (two tomatoes slice, cheese and cucumber) with french fries, 30 min for the sandwich being alone on the tables and 50 min for the fries.
The location. The staff was friendly and helpful. Good value.

IndiaAt the prices, please offer bottled water and clean bedding. Had to buy my own sheets because I didn't feel comfortable asking to replace them. I didn't mind getting my own but not everyone will. (Just a suggestion :) ))
I stayed for 5days, 1st day was a little adjustment but then it became like a home to me. It is located right on the ghat and offers an amazing sunrise and sunset and loads of peace beside the Ganges. The staff is friendly and cooperative too :) Now that I am back in the city grind, but I feel as though my heart is still in Kashi. Would love to come back for a longer visit.

RussiaLocation is good from one side, but it is forbidden area for cars and rickshas, so if you have a lot of luggage it will be not comfortable. It is better to be prepared for it. There are a lot of monkeys. From one side it is interesting, but they can steal food from your table or stuff from your room. You should keep the room closed and be attractive eating food.
I love the staff here and the location. There is really an amazing view. The room was clean and equipped with whole necessary stuff. There is a tasty food in the caffe. The most value thing is a hospitality of the woman on reception, i didnt ask her name, thank you a lot.
