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...).

SwitzerlandThe room we got was next to some stairs that have 2 or 3 very small temples, so it could be either someone performing a ceremony or making offerings. Or someone just sitting on the stairs and talking loudly on the phone. Also next to it there is a corral where they keep cows. So it was quite a difficult night. But it's a good option if you are on a budget and passing by for a couple of nights. You'll get the full sense of staying in Varanasi.
The location and the terrace overlooking the the Ganga.

Best location. Authentic Varanasi atmosphere. The guest house is right on the bank of the Ganga river. Little temple inside the property. Clean bed. Hot water. Good WiFi.

FranceNo value for money: the rooms are more than basic, the beds are hard and we had to ask for some (stained) sheets. Nobody told us about the presence of monkeys at night: some were sitting in front of the door of our room and there were more than 12 on our terrace, being very noisy and fighting with each other during the night. A very unpleasant experience which could have been dangerous as monkeys can be aggressive!

IndiaLocation: you can't go out or come in the guest house after 10 pm as the receptionist told us because of the drunk goons that live in the properties next to the guest house and on the way to the guest house and they pick up fights with the guests. Cleanliness: the room was damp which smelled Hot water: no hot water was coming in the shower even though they said that it will come but later when it didn't come even after 2 people had already showered after waiting for an hour, they tell us that this particular room has no hot water. Overall the room really ruined the stay. Blankets were very itchy.
Open sitting area- that too you can only sit in the early mornings or in the evenings
