Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

GermanyPerfect place for meeting nice people. The hostel is super comfortable and has everything you need (even the dorm offers very good mattresses!). Management and staff are very friendly. The location is quiet but you can reach everything in a few minutes. Highly recommend this place!

Position: quiet area, surrounded by trees, at a short walk distance from Dharamkot and Bhagsu (if you know the shortcuts!); People: the staff was nice and efficient. Most guests were easy going, well-behaved and nice to be around and talk to. Food: they have a large menu of food (indian and international) available at any time if the day, ideal if you want to chill and eat something without going to Dharamkot or Bhagsu. Food quality, price and and portion size was in line with most cafes and restaurants in the area

United StatesThe steps to get to and from can be a bit treacherous when loaded down with backpacks.
I moved over from another hostel and wish i had moved sooner. I splurged on a private room rather than hostel and loved it. Had a great view, cozy room and amenities and pretty central location. The staff are so friendly and the cafe has really good food. Such peaceful energy but also the clients tend to be quite sociable.I can’t recommend enough!

FranceThat is not the hostel people fault, but we faced issues because of the noise of people hanging out on the terrace for hours. Our first room was just above that place. Then we were shifted to the other side in another room, and that was way more better. I suggest if you look for a restful guesthouse, be aware of asking for a room situated away from the terrace side.
We had a great time in Eevolve hostel. I think the location was perfect for us, who did mostly everything by walk. Close to Bhagsu and Dharamkot villages, Mcloed Ganj is also easily reachable by walk. Plus the forest surroundings were giving a quiet feeling to the place. The common spaces were also a plus. The staff was friendly and attentive to our queries.
