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.).

IndiaThe flushes in the washroom and shower heads do not work with full efficiency. Basic cleanliness needs to be worked upon (Eg. Changing of sheets, Washroom floors, kitchen counter, refilling the dishwashing soap, replacing a new scrubber)
This has been one of the best backpacker hostels I have stayed in from past 6 years of travelling solo. I had booked the place for 3 nights but had to extend my stay for 3 more. The location is perfect, but what makes Mellow Fellow a happening place is its common area. Sonam gathers everyone and makes sure they have a memorable trip very effortlessly. He is by far the most genuine hosts I have come across. Samit is fun and exchanges a warm smile everytime you run into him. Annie and the entire team of this hostel, run the place with utmost passion and professionalism. Would highly recommend staying here.

IndiaA little bit of repair and renovation of the Common Area, its adjacent Common bathroom and kitchen would be great. Apart from that all 👍🏼.
The atmosphere at Mellow Fellow as always was brilliant. All the staff there make the place feel friendly, warm and cozy. Special Shout-out to Sonam for being such a good host, suggesting us all the right things to do, showing us around, taking us on walking tour and what not to make our stay at Gangtok memorable 😀. So kudos buddy. Also to mention, the rooms are well maitained, clean and so are the bathrooms both the dorms and the private rooms.

IndiaWashroom facilities a big thumbs down. If not toiletries, atleast a toilet roll should be provided (which they said they don't give), considering they had major water supply issues (no water for hours!) And the other bathrooms which we could use in the meanwhile were dirty :/
I loved the ambience and central-ish location. The dorms (not the washrooms) were also clean. Got to meet Karma (owner), had a wonderful interaction with him. Fully support his biking company.

IndiaWater facility is the worst part, sometimes they don't even provide water in the dormitories and they ask us to go to private room for even basic needs in toilet, otherwise staff and owners behavior is really good, I'd give it a 5/5 if they have water facilities on point. But all frequent travellers to this hostel said they always have water issues... So a traveller must keep in mind of that...
Staff and owners are really nice and they make it feel like your home
