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.).

I had a spectacular stay at Joe’s Hostel as a solo traveler in the dormitory. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a perfect choice for backpackers and solo adventurers. What truly stood out was the hospitality of the staff—they went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. I was especially impressed by their honesty and care when they returned a trouser I had misplaced. Such gestures reflect the warmth and trustworthiness of the place. Additionally, the view from the terrace is breathtaking as well.

I recently stayed at Joey’s Hostel and I must say it was one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I felt a positive and friendly vibe all around the place. The atmosphere is so lively yet relaxed, making it really easy to meet new people and feel at home. The staff here are truly amazing – they’re not just helpful, but genuinely warm and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. Whether it’s giving local tips, arranging activities, or just having a friendly chat, they really make you feel like part of the Joey’s family. The common areas are great for chilling, working, or socialising with other travellers. Everything is kept clean and the vibe is perfect for backpackers and solo travellers alike. Overall, I would highly recommend Joey’s Hostel to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and friendly place to stay. It’s the people and the vibe that make this place special – I can’t wait to come back again! And a special Thanks to David :)

United StatesJoey's is one of the cleanest and well-maintained hostels where I stayed. The dormitory rooms are Air-Conditioned and each bed has curtains for privacy. What sets this hostel apart from the rest is its mind-blowing Rooftop View. The terrace offers some magical views of mountain , Clouds and the green mountains that circumscribe Rishikesh. Charges are extremely nominal and they accept bookings both online & offline. Recommended.💚 Thank you joeys Team and David

Had an amazing stay at Joey’s Hostel! The vibe is super chill, the staff is friendly, and everything is well maintained. The highlight of the trip was the evening walking tour led by Vasu, the community manager. His energy, stories, and local insights made the experience unforgettable. A perfect mix of fun and culture. Highly recommended!❤️
