How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery friendly, great place to meat people. The beds are in capsules and you get your privacy. The rooftop is amazing, with partys(that end early) on the weekend. And the location is great. Diksha at the reception is great and helpful!
The toilets sometimes are not that clean, but overall it's great.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at Joey’s by the Ganges Hostel! The staff at the reception were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with any questions or arrangements. The place is kept very clean – the housekeeping team does an excellent job of maintaining the rooms and common areas so everything feels fresh and comfortable. And of course, the highlight is the stunning view of the Ganges – absolutely peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a great stay with warm hospitality and a beautiful setting!

Verified reviewDorms were actually good ac working fine and the cleaning was also good. View was good from the property.
Power backup was pathetically bad i have to roam on road as the power backup was very frequent i was not able to charge my phone even and the rooms was suffocating. The food was such a mess that even property having 5 orders i have ti wait for more than an hour for a simple breakfast and for dinner atleast 1 and half hour and after that the food comes overcook without cutlery and when asked for the cutlery it came after i finished the food in half an hour so not recommended at all to have food at the property. The staff was not even apologetic for the incident.

Verified reviewWriting a review while seated at the banks of the Ganga recently stayed at Joey's by the Ganges during my solo trip, and it was a wonderful experience. The property is right on the banks of the Ganga, offering beautiful views and serene vibes – perfect to soak in the spirit of Rishikesh. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable here. The rooms are cozy, clean, and ensure a restful sleep. The atmosphere is vibrant yet peaceful – you can truly relax and feel at home. A special mention to the team: Medha at the café and Diksha at reception were extremely warm and helpful, always making sure I had everything I needed. Aman deserves appreciation for his ever-smiling presence and for making the place feel like home. They go the extra mile to take care of solo female travellers... The location is excellent – close to all major spots and surrounded by great eateries, so you’re never far from good food or activities. Overall, Joey’s by Ganges is not just a stay but an experience – safe, lively, and soulful. Highly recommended for solo travelers and anyone wanting to enjoy Rishikesh at its best! 🌿✨I stayed Four Nights Here
Everything was to enjoy....nothing to write

Verified reviewThe place is maintained very well. It's clean and hygienic. The view is absolutely beautiful, especially when it rains and the staff is very friendly. There is direct access to the Ganges, in case you want to take a dip or just soak your legs. It's definitely value for money, loved it.

Verified reviewComfortable dorm beds with curtains.
The roof collapsed on me whilst I was reading. Evidently not much maintenance goes into the building.
