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 helpful and friendly staff, big rooms, convenient location
They didn't tell me that during major festival times that the roads around the hotel are closed. This made it very hard and confusing to find the hotel. Even when leaving, I understood i had booked a car through them that would pick me up from the hotel. But in fact I needed to take a pedal cab to a carpark outside of the closed off zone. They assisted me but they did not explain this when ibooked the car.

Verified reviewCentral location. Very easy to visit the temple and the ghats. Very friendly staff and great service. They even helped organize an incredible Ganga arti experience.
The approach to the hotel is difficult as autos don't go right to the entrance. But the hotel staff was kind enough to send someone to pick us up from around 100m away.

Verified reviewThere is nothing that I liked. Overall stay was very unpleasant and disappointing
1. From the photos it seems that it is a well made hotel amidst the hustle bustle of streets closer to the temple. However, this is not the case. The entrance is very shabby. Moreover there is massive construction work ongoing on the streets right outside the hotel and it is complete mess. 2. The rooms are not clean. The cleanliness of bed sheets, blankets not good. Infact on one of the days my room was not even cleaned till I came back at 9pm. Moreover, there were lizards and insects in my room 3. The staff is very casual and careless. You request them some things and they just do not care 4. To my surprise there is only 1 iron floating around in the whole hotel and there is no iron board 5. I checked out of the hotel on 7th June. Till date I have not received my invoice. Unable to understand what is the problem in having my invoice. Have requested the hotel multiple times but no use. 6. The food is not at all good. Infact the only day I visited the restaurant for the buffet breakfast, there was hardly anything in the buffet. The food was being prepared in the kitchen and then too the quality was not good This hotel is just interested in our money without spending a single dime on upgrading its infrastructure, cleanliness, quality and staff. I would not recommend this hotel

Verified reviewEverything literally everything. Omg the property is so so beautiful and the behaviour of staff is even a step ahead what u’d expect from a seven star hotel. They even presented us with a lil cute Ganesha that was such a heart melting gesture. And the cafe here serves outstanding food.
It was all perfect.

Verified reviewGood location quiet but near the Ghats and not far from bus and train stations. Big room with comfort beds; clean; Breakfast adequate ; menu for dinner is good with reasonable costs; the staff ( Sonu and Bhawesh) are exceptionally helpful and keen on answering any queries or giving good advices on tours or places to visit, helping to book train, bus or tuktuk. Live classical music ( flute& drums) at the hotel restaurant from 8pm-10pm is lovely and relaxing.
Actually nothing about this hotel; due to building operation relating to cable car construction at the moment; cars are not allowed near the hotel; only Tuktuks are allowed. The construction will finish at the end of this year as planned.

Verified reviewI was very pleased with my stay at this hotel in Varanasi. It's very well located, with easy access to the main spots in the city. The staff was incredibly kind. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and above the standard of most hotels in the area — all for a fair price. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort and a great experience in Varanasi!

Verified reviewGood location if you dont wanna be fully in the old centre where you cant reach by car. Still walkable distance. Rooms spacious, ac worked. First room the card slot was broken but got upgraded to a new room so no problem. Booked activities and taxi through the hotel, which was easy though possible a bit overpriced. Breakfast was tasty.
Restocking items at breakfast wasnt very efficient. Staff seemed to be looking for extras/tips and in doing so were a bit intrusive.
