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 reviewZostel Pushkar is hands down one of the best travel stays I’ve experienced in India. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a laid-back vibe that made me feel right at home. The property is absolutely stunning – a perfect blend of Rajasthani charm and chill backpacker energy. The rooms and dorms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Whether you're a solo traveler or with friends, the spaces are designed to be both social and private when needed. The common areas – especially the rooftop and poolside – are ideal for meeting fellow travelers or just soaking in the serene views of the Aravalli hills. The staff here truly go above and beyond. Super friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat – they’re a huge part of what makes Zostel Pushkar special. They also organize fun activities like local tours, game nights, and bonfires that create a great community atmosphere. Also worth mentioning – the in-house café serves some delicious food like lemonana (must try). If you're heading to Pushkar, don’t even think twice. Zostel Pushkar is the perfect base to explore the town, relax, and make unforgettable memories.

Verified reviewThis was my second time staying at Zostel, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The photos online are very misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. I had booked a 2-bed female dormitory, but the room had a strange odor, the AC did not work properly, and the bathroom was neither clean nor functional, door wouldn’t even shut properly. On top of that, basic amenities like a mirror in the dormitory were missing, and the food was overpriced for the quality. The environment was also uncomfortable, with the place being filled with marijuana smokers, which made the stay unpleasant. Overall, I expected much better from Zostel, especially since this was my second visit, but I left very dissatisfied.

Verified review"Zostel Pushkar, you stole my heart! As a solo traveler, I was a bit apprehensive, but from the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The vibes were chill, thanks to the awesome team led by Chikoo(curly wonder), who made sure everything was perfect. Chirag and Arun, were super friendly and made me feel right at home. And then, there was the live music performance by Andy that got singing our hearts out. ! I even met some amazing fellow travelers. We wove a tapestry of memories, where our paths crossed and our hearts connected, and in the quiet moments, we shared our 'whispers of the soul' . The dorm were clean and cozy, the food was delicious, and the location was perfect for exploring Pushkar 🌟. If you're looking for a place to meet new people and have an amazing time, Zostel Pushkar is the place to be!

Verified reviewHonestly, this place has a good vibe to chill, especially on weekends. I found the co-guests quite friendly and accommodating. The staff was accurate to our needs and the food also good.
Toilets were smelly and less maintained. Beds did not have a dedicated shelfs to put your small belongings only lockers were present in the dorm.
