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...).

IndiaThe bathroom was not up to the mark — it was dirty, and used consumables were left scattered around, which was quite unhygienic.
The property is located in a prime spot with easy access to nearby places. Being on the 14th floor gives it a nice open feel, and standing on the balcony was refreshing with great airflow — it truly added to the comfort of the stay.

United KingdomShower is useless - like a sprinkler that goes everywhere so you need to use the bucket to wash. No hooks (female dorm) to hang your things. There could be more info freely available (e.g. on walls/reception area about local attractions. Staff could be more welcoming on initial arrival (friendly and helpful when spoken TO rather than instigating) - please smile and introduce yourself & make some conversation, not just jump straight into asking us to fill in our details.
Excellent location, within walking distance to everything and close to good places to eat (recommend Fire & Ice and Little Roti - both delicious food!) Quiet room (apart from people playing fuseball and shouting about it at 2am!). Comfy bed and nice room with lockers available (bring padlock). Hot shower. Breakfast available but can't comment as didn't have it.

FranceThere are too many beds per room so that have little privacy. Requires more regular cleaning (underneath the beds, bathroom). Lockers can be opened with a screwdriver from the outside.
Location, close to park street. Good neighborhood if you want to go out at night. Friendly hosts. There are not many options in Kolkata.

BangladeshI had the upper bunk of female dorm room and the climbing ladder was not safe. It was a movable ladder and didn't have a firm enough grip to the end points which made it unsafe and difficult to climb.
The Staff was very cooperative and helpful. The property room had interesting setup. It was cleaner than I expected and had both air-conditioning and water heater which is great.

IndonesiaI booked female dorm and somehow they put me in mixed dorm without informing me when I checked in. I only found out because later there was a guy in our bathroom. The lady manager gave explanation but still didn't make sense to me. I didn't want to move room because my luggage was already there. Anyway the place is not like in the pictures. Good location. The worst hostel.

United KingdomThe non-A/C dorm is very, very hot
Excellent location and value for money, super close to all the central attractions & the metro. Up on the 14th floor (there is a lift!) the views are incredible. Free filtered water & a well-stocked kitchen. Got a free upgrade to an air conditioned room as well because a group wanted to book the non-A/C dorm!

IndiaThe food was incredible. The kitchenette provided helped make food efficiently otherwise. The common area with a view of the city from the 14th floor was beautiful. It was relaxing to read there. The rooms were well air-conditioned. The washrooms were equipped and maintained well. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodated all my requests. The location on Park Street is central to Kolkata. It was easy to travel to all major spots, while key locations like the Indian Museum were walkable. I'm a frequent solo-traveler and this is easily one of the best spots I've stayed in.
