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...).

AustraliaThe room was tidy, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable! Easy to use aircon and hot water system. The room has all you need, just the basics, but nothing fancy. If you've ever stayed in a hostel, you'll be more than comfortable here. There is a reataurant on the top floor that makes really tasty food. Everything is made fresh to order. There are also light blocking blinds in the room that block out any light for a good night sleep. The location is second to none. It's right next to the Dashashwamedh Ghat where the Gunga Aarti is performed every evening. You can watch it from the restaurant or the roof top and avoid the crowds. During the monsoon when the river levels are high, this is one of the only places you can see the Aarti from. It's within easy walking distance of the main temple atteactions, the funerary Ghat, and boat rides along the Ganga operate right outside from the Ghat.The hotel owner is really lovely and helpful. He's easy to talk to and will help organise a taxi from the airport if you need it. A car can't go the whole way, so be aware of this, but it's a short walk. The stairs inside are a little steep. Consider this if you struggle with mobility. Honestly, I am so happy I chose to stay here. It made it possible to see and do everything I wanted to with little effort or stress. You can't go wrong. I felt safe as a solo female traveller here. The value for money is incredible. Would recommend it to anyone! **I'd recommend bringing earplugs. Sound can come in from outside, and other guests can be noisy. It's not the hotels fault, but it'll make your stay most comfortable.

GermanyGreat location right at the Dasaswamedh Ghat. The rooftop restaurant serves good food and provides a nice view on the stairs and the ceremonies. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My room was rather basically equipped with only bed and chair and without window, but okay for the price. Cleanliness is okay as well.

United KingdomThere were no WiFi in the room only on the top floor. I would say it is a bit overpriced for what you get here. It is nowhere near to the picture... Also staff will charge you extra to watch Pooja from the roof even if you are a guest and they will forget to mention this at the beginning. They are collecting money when there is no time change spot or just decide without missing Pooja. You won't get towels if won't ask for them. I would not recommend this place to friends.
Location is perfect.

The location on Dashashwamedh Ghat is unbeatable, and the photos on Booking are genuine. You can watch the Aarti ceremony from the rooftop and rent a boat in front of the hotel. Everything is within walking distance. The rooms are basic but clean, and the staff is helpful and friendly. My room had a view of the river and ghat which was great. It`s an old building so be prepared to climb many stairs. Excellent value, but don't expect 5-star accommodation.

GermanyYes, it was also the smallest and most expensive room I’ve been in but I noticed that in Varanasi in general the price level is higher than in other cities.
My experience is an overall excellent one! Already before coming the owner was very responsive to my questions and the pick-up from airport and even the escorting for the last meters worked perfectly. The room was the cleanest I have seen so far (even with soap and toilet paper) and it also had some decorative items like beautiful lamp and wall painting. Also, I was asked proactively after the 2nd day of I wanted my sheets to be changed. All staff was at all times very friendly and helpful. And the location ist just PERFECT! You’re in the middle of everything - and yes: the view from the roof top is wonderful! I’d definitely recommend this place to my friends and would come again. Thank you for your lovely hospitality!
