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...).

IsraelHad a wonderful stay! The people were warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. The location is perfect—right inside the fort, peaceful, and close to all the main attractions. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the on-site café was amazing. Plus, the food can be customized to your preferred spice level. Highly recommended!

IndiaThe washrooms are faulty, they are too tiny, looks unhygienic, and even have lizards. Even after complaining about it too the staff there were pretty casual about it which ruined our experience. You can only come half way in the fort, so the remaining distance to the zostel property has to be covered on foot as the lanes are too narrow that even an auto / rickshaw can’t enter, and we travelled the distance from fort entry point till the property on foot while we dragged 3 suitcases, so quite challenging.
The property is located at the top of the fort so you get a very nice view of the entire Jaisalmer city from there and the staff was nice and polite, they have an in house kitchen and the food is tasty as well as very well priced with decent quantity. Cleanliness is well maintained and people are welcoming.

IndiaThe food in the cafe can do with some improvement. we tried the manchurian and chowmein - latter was great; the street kind that’s tasty; however the manchurian was a little burnt.
It’s a beautiful property inside the Jaisalmer fort, it feels like you’re living a different era altogether. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. The views from the many common sitting areas is mind blowing - it’s the views from the fort itself so it’s the best view in the city. Our private room was very beautiful, with stone walls and a heritage-y traditional look.

AustraliaYOU MUST BOOK. This place is epic!!!! Best location ever, right inside the fort. Every afternoon we had chai from the Zostel cafe on the terrace overlooking the city at sunset. It was such a privilege to stay in a grand monument. Narendra and all the other staff were so attentive and exceptionally helpful. They booked everything for us, including our desert safari, and carried all our luggage. The food in the cafe was AMAZING!!!!! This place is epic value for money with delightful service. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you :)
