Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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...).

AustraliaPillows were awful
Location,location,location. We are a couple in our 60’s from Australia. We loved the location of the room. The room is spacious however the bathroom is tiny. The toilet and shower combination are in a confined space. You will need to walk about 1klm from the drop off point to the hotel. The road is busy but blocked off from cars. So easy to navigate. We were in a room on the 3rd floor, there is a staircase for 2 floors and then a tight spiral staircase up p to the 3rd floor. We were ok with that as the staff took our luggage up and down the spiral. The owner took us to a good cafe for our meals. Cheap and yummy. I would stay here again as the location is what counts. Just bring your earplugs as the ceremony in the morning starts at 5am

IndiaRooms are very basic. Very small bathroom, though all neat & clean. Only main highlight is its one of the best location, that's why we stayed there. Just a minute walk to see Ganga Aarti, could see from their top floor. Just 10 Minutes walk to the Kashi Temple. Mr. Satish, one of the best persons, I have ever met, was very helpful in guiding us and arranging taxi etc at good price.

Amazing location with views from rooftop and even rooms ( through windows) to the Ganges and main Ghat with nightly Arti. It was great to stay in a family run home stay where they were so hospitable 10/10 helping with any and all questions and making suggestions. Even woke me up at 1130pm so I did not miss the first burnings prior to holy day
