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 only issue was bathroom ventilation which was addressed by staff.
The property is pretty decent for stay, located in residential area where everything is at a walking distance. Interiors are minimal and comfy. The owner Neep and staff Biplob, Kalyan are super kind and friendly which makes your stay worth while. The beds are comfy and rooms are clean. The food they serve is delicious and exactly home cooked meal..as my flight was super delayed on checkout date the owner was so kind to offer and extend my stay just like a family!

IndiaI had a wonderful stay at Hostello backpacker's! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and were always available to help with recommendations and any queries. The check-in process was smooth, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The dorm rooms were clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and personal lockers for security. The shared bathrooms were spotless, with hot water available at all times. I also appreciated the cozy common areas, which were perfect for socializing, working, or just unwinding after a long day. Though the location was a bit far from the railway stations but the vibes were unmatched. Overall, Hostello is a great budget-friendly option for solo travelers and backpackers. The friendly staff, clean facilities, and social atmosphere make it an excellent choice. I would definitely stay here again!

IndiaIt was an experience here. The hostel is very clean and comfortable and it stands out comparing to all the hostels i have been to cause of the hospitality that it serves. They have really nice guest service as shivam bhaiya is available there 24/7 for you. Such a nice person to be with , he arranged a borlnfire for us and gathered all the guest together, we had great conversation sharing our stories and the add on was he offered free drinks to me and others. The service that he provides in a hostel is way better than alot of hotels i have been too. He served me hot food at 2 am in the morning, thank you so much for that as I was really very hungry. It's a must visit place and the best provided till now. Thank you so much. Next time it will be my treat shivam bhaiya.
