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 reviewI recently stayed at Hideout for a short 2–3 day trip, and it truly lived up to its name — a hidden gem in every sense! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The ambiance is peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful, and the entire experience was incredibly refreshing. The stay itself was very comfortable, with cozy rooms that made it feel like a home away from home. But what really stood out was the food — absolutely delicious! Every meal was prepared with so much care and flavor; we looked forward to it every day. The hosts were the heart of the experience. Not only were they warm and welcoming, but also very knowledgeable about the area. They recommended some amazing nearby trails and lesser-known spots that we would’ve otherwise missed. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, peaceful getaway.
Thank you so much to both of you🙋♂️ This means a lot to us. You've been kind and cooperative yourselves. Would love to host you guys again🙌

Verified reviewA gem of a place with really clean dormitory, washroom nd delicious homely food. This location is perfect if u want homely vibes nd peaceful stay. More than anything the host nd the staff are really warm, friendly nd helpful. I'm surely coming back to this place for a slightly longer stay soon ✨
There is a bit of construction going on in this village. But I think that's happening almost everywhere in Manali. Still is place is way more peaceful than what I have experienced at other properties

Verified reviewIf you are an explorer, there are many hiking trails nearby. If you are a slow traveller (like me), its a peaceful place for your 'Get up, eat, sleep, repeat' cycle. Perfect for lazy long stays. Special mention- Gobhi parathe by Lucky ☺️ Warning: The fresh homely food can make you overeat everyday!
Nothing.

Verified reviewI stayed here in November and i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It's an offbeat location and is quite peaceful. The view from the dormitory window is really stunning. The food cooked by the property staff and hygiene is top notch. Highly recommend to all backpackers
It's not that i didn't like it, but just that if you are someone who likes cafe hopping and all, you have to go to Old Manali for it. There are cafes and restaurants nearby the property as well but not many.
Thanks for such kind and encouraging words, Deepti! We too enjoyed hosting you and we hope to see you soon again :)

Verified reviewCertainly! Here's a shorter review: --- I had a fantastic stay at [The Hideout]. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the communal areas were perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The location was ideal, close to major attractions and public transportation. Great kitchen facilities, reliable Wi-Fi, and a delightful breakfast. Highly recommend for a comfortable and enjoyable stay! The people are very friendly, especially Property owner Rohit bhai, great indian chef’s Happy&Lucky, Hacker Prashanth bhai. They made it feel like home and treated me like a brother💚 --- Feel free to customize it as needed!

Verified reviewSo many great things: really clean, great shower, homy vibes, amazing garden, cute dogs
They shouldn't show the menu, because they serve different food (nice home made), beds could be a bit more comfy
Thanks, Lisa. It was nice having you guys over. A la Carte menu means you can order items from that. That's why it's kept there at The Hideout Hiraeth. And we will surely make viable changes to the bunk beds.
