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.).

Czech RepublicPerfect place to stay. The host is very helpful, we had plenty of questions about not just the city, but transport to Nepal and other stuff.. we always got our answers. We got a free upgrade for a bigger room! you can get tasty breakfast for free on the rooftop. When we were leaving, our bus departed at night, we were able to store our luggage the whole day that we spent in the city and even take a shower befor getting the bus. It was just perfect. thanks for everything!

ItalyMost comfortable dorm beds in my life. This hostel is quiet and clean, run by a group of very kind and chill young guys who make the stay there feel very homely, as if you're staying at your friend's house. They even took us on free sunrise boat ride! The location is perfect, just a short walk away from the Ghats, in a small alley which is great if you don't like the noise of the main roads. Monkeys and squirrels are regular visitors at the rooftop so there's also a lot of free entertainment...

GermanyVery nice place to visit Varanasi. The room was very clean, spacious and the hot water worked as well. The roof top terrace is pretty nice to relax and the breakfast they serve there is tasty! On top of that we were invited to join a sunrise boat tour, which we wanted to do anyways while in Varanasi and now we got to do it for free with the manager and 2 other guests from Ganga Putra. Definitely our highlight during our stay!

They offer a complimentary boat ride at sunrise on the Ganges, free breakfast in the morning, free Chai at 6pm on the rooftop, transportation to the airport and anything else you may need. Location was great as well located just a few minutes from many of the Ghats including Dashashwamedh where you can see the Aarti each night. Would definitely stay here again!

DenmarkI think it’s one of the best budget places I have been staying at in India, basic but very clean. The room didn’t have a window but because it was made so nice, yet simple, it didn’t feel claustrophobic at all. The staff was really nice and helpful too. So I can warmly recommend this place.

IndiaI think the shower could connect to some hot water.
Stayed at Ganga Putra both times I was in Varanasi. Great location in the center of the ghats, and amidst the narrow alleys, but tucked away enough so you have space to reclude to some quiet. Facility is super clean and spacious, can do stretching in your dorm room. The beds were very clean and very comfortable. The top floor gets the best natural light! They were constructing a rooftop café the first time I left, and when I came back they had a sweet spot to chill and drink coffee. Staff are super easy-going. Deepak was chill and tolerant of much shenanigans (lolz). But my favorite part was Kaushal, I hope you get to meet him <3
