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.).

the room booked was spacious and clean. Owner was very polite and helpful. The location is close to the vishwanath temple and the ghats. The path to reach hostel can be a bit confusing but it is not a deal breaker. Definitely will visit again.

I’m so happy I’ve chosen this guesthouse for my travel. The first advantage is location of course. This part of city can go by walk or by bike only so it was so important to stay in convenient area. Room wan cleaned good and everything was neat. Owner and his sons were so kind and helpful. They do all requests so good. One son of owner even helped me to go one very ancient temple very early because I couldn’t get there alone. Very good restaurant Dolphin just on the side of hotel. My first travel to Varanasi was amazing and mostly of this hotel. Probably next time I’ll stay here also. I recommend to chose this hotel

IsraelOut of the three rooms, two are extremely small. In my mind they are simply too small for a couple. The big room is very nice. Regarding the noise mentioned in other reviews: it should be very clear, from 5AM it is almost impossible to sleep unless you have really good earplugs.
The room and bathroom were clean. There’s a window facing outside, which is quite rare in Varanasi’s old city. The bathroom was clean and comfortable, with reliable hot water. The Wi-Fi worked great, and the bed was large and very comfortable, with clean bedsheets. The owner was friendly, helpful, and always available, making sure that guests were satisfied and everything was in order. The location is fantastic — very close to the river and situated in an extremely authentic alleyway. There are great restaurants within walking distance, and just outside the guesthouse, there are small, charming temples that add to the authentic vibe of the place.

IndiaNothing that I can think about.
The hotel is situated at the ghat side with very close proximity to Kashi Vishwanath temple and the nearby market. You can just walk for 2 mins to watch the ganga arati as well. The hospitality by the owner and his two sons were exceptional. This property is highly recommended if you are planning a trip to Varanasi.

IndiaStayed for two days. Divyanshu came to the streets to receive us at 11.45pm when we were struggling in the crowd to find the place. He also arranged a place for a foreign lady who accompanied us from the airport as her booking had got cancelled and she was unable to find another accommodation at that late hour. He is the perfect host willing to help in all situations. The location is perfect for visit to the Ghats and Temples which are all nearby.

IndiaPlace little congested, but I think entire Varanasi ghat has similar thing, so no complaint
Location of the property, it's just couple of steps away from the ghat. You can spend hours and hours there. Everything is just next to you right from Baba Kashi Vishwanath temple to all ghats. The owners, both brothers and their father are true humans, very humble, polite, helpful and smiling. They will ensure that you are their extended family and not customer, though they are running commercial property.
