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.).

IndiaFood is all frozen even the tea was horrible. The staff was not at all friendly to me . Not so great crowd either as occupancy was low, if you are going as a solo traveler and looking to find community in a hostel this is not the place. Though great for groups Also the shower had no pressure for which I complained but wasn't fixed.
It's a huge property with clean common areas and good dorm rooms. Very near parmath niketan and freedom ghat.

ChileThe only bad thing was the bedroom door, it was blocked when entering every day, the last night I woke up at 3 AM scared when they tried to force it, I opened it and asked them to check it, it can't be possible that it happens every day, the next morning They apologized to me but I didn't sleep that night after the incident
Very friendly staff came to pick us up when we called for help, we reserved a private room and bed in the dorm, everything clean and hot water in the shower

United KingdomThe price is quite high for what you get. Our room was described as deluxe double. It had a good view and was clean but very basic. The bridge closest to the hostel, across the river, is currently closed so you have to get a speed boat across or walk to the lower bridge. This wasn’t too much trouble for us but it’s something to be aware of if you need access to Tapovan because the boat stops running at 4.30 / 5pm.
The hostel is in a good location on the quieter side of the river. It has great views of the Ganges. It has great communal spaces with a cafe, chill out area, yoga hall and roof terrace. Staff were friendly. There were a lot of bad reviews about the steep climb to the hotel, this is an exaggeration and really nothing to worry about unless you have accessibility needs. It is only a few stairs!

FranceWe decided to leave earlier than expected due to the "Saturday Night Fever" we had to endure. The rules are very clearly written everywhere (no more hanging out or rooftop gathering after 10 PM) but not followed at all and the feeling has been to try to sleep in a night club. We were in between corridor music with screaming and the rooftop where guests were obviously unable to move the chairs without dragging it on the floor. I would recommend to stay there week days and get ready for the party on week end evenings but that was not the purpose of our time there
This is the first GoStops we were staying in and the concept is very good! Lots of staff (probably because low season and week day we arrived), they could have been more friendly. The one who checked us in has been interactive all our stay long but others were more like "away" in their own world. The room is clean and big, good bathroom, nice view and balcony, would recommend it!
