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...).

IndiaCentrally located, staff very good
The staff were very nice and helpful.. though the infrastructure needs major improvements. The bathroom doors did not lock, faucets were not working as they should, tiles in the bedroom majorly faulty. Had to order out. Kitchen is not at all dependable. Breakfast is less than ordinary even though one has to order and pay for it

NepalI hated the location. It is situated in a gated area that is used as a parking lot during the day. There are some dogs that live they that are harmless but bark a lot. From outside it is hard to tell it is actually a decent guest house.
I liked the staff, the rooms were nice for the price. The hot water worked and I did have the freedom to come and go as I please. The gate was locked after 11pm but I could always call the night staff member to open it up for me.

IndiaThe approach to the guesthouse is not so welcoming and is rather obscured. The building surroundings (lift/stairways) are not cleanly maintained. Housekeeping can improve a lot. They only provide breakfast. Though one can preorder meals from them, the choices are limited. .
The location is ideal if one has to come to Kolkata for US visa interviews or related work. The staff are kind and helpful

IndiaVery dirty approach road. Shabby premises. Lift making cranking sound. Facilities weren't up to expectations. Photos displayed on web are excellent. When you locate the property you are in dilemma what to do, whether to occupy or skip.
Only favourable was that it's near to US consulate.

IndiaThe corridors are very narrow. It looked like a very old building. The lift was of some British era, haha! Nevertheless it's good for a one or two day stay, esp for visa.
The location was very close to the US Consulate, just a 10 min walk. My visa got approved! They provided an iron box for ironing my clothes before the interview.

IndiaThe building in which this is located is quite dingy and smelly. The guest house is on the 2nd floor, and the lift wasn't working when I was there. While entering the place, one would be excused for thinking that this is a seedy place in a seedy old building. Thankfully, that's just the appearance, and not the substance. The bathroom could use repairs - the basin wasn't properly connected, water was leaking (though the staff fixed it), and I saw cockroaches in the bathroom. Importantly, they want to get the money from the guests through UPI, even though they mention credit cards. I tried paying by credit card on check in, and was told that the machine wasn't working. I requested them to get it sorted since I was there for 2 nights, and I could pay by CC on check out. This was still not done, and eventually I had to pay through UPI. I did not appreciate this attitude at all, and took away from what was otherwise a decent, functional stay.
The location and staff are the best parts of this guest house. Everyone has a ready smile, and is happy to help. They make a simple fresh breakfast and serve it in the room, and are happy to take care of problems. Room was spacious, clean, and had windows with direct sunlight, which was good. The bed was big, and WiFi worked well enough.
