Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

India10/10 !!! I had the pleasure of staying at the wonderful Kapoor's home stay, and it exceeded all my expectations! The place was serene, calm, and incredibly spacious - perfect for relaxation. The host Mr Amit Kapoor is an absolute polite, courteous, and always available to ensure my comfort. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The amenities are good, and the location is ideal for exploring the BHU surrounding area. (100 meters from Sankat Mochan). I highly recommend this home stay to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. Thank you to the amazing host Mr. Amit Kapoor for creating such a wonderful experience!

IndiaBest property of varanasi in this budget! Full airbnb waali feeling..Honestly 10 times better than any hotel..(also in varanasi Most of the good hotels are bit expensive than any other tourist place) its location is good enough in city to reach anywhere fast. Very close to sankat mochan temple.Interior was so aesthetic with such a homely feeling..all clean and cozy place..So well maintained.Our stay was safe and comfortable..full of positivity.The host-Mr Amit kapoor's Hospitality is 10/10 that anyone will remember for long time.Clean, spacious and well furnished rooms with nice bathrooms and private balcony. Even semi-functional kitchen (with basic utensils,fridge.. Filter water and oven) and drawing room are also like cherry on cake! Even provide extra bedding in case for extra persons with nominal charges.Book it without any doubt..suitable for family, couple, group of friends.. Later i got to know even pets are allowed here! Wow..🐈 All pictures on site are real..i will always choose to stay here only whenever in varanasi and will recommend all my friends and relatives too!

GermanyAs the caption mentions: home away from home. In a chaotic city as Varanasi it was amazing to stay in a place like Amits. From beginning to end he treated us like family and he's doing everything to make his guests feel comfortable. He's the one making the this homestay something special and gave us all advices or Tours we needed. Everything was as described: room with balcony, ac and fan, and on top Netflix. Best place to stay in Varanasi! Thanks a lot for our wonderful stay!

Kapoor's Homestay has a nice ambience with pleasant Aesthetics that gave us the feeling of a home away from home. Beautifully decked up with all modern amenities. Last but not the least to mention the caring attitude of Mr. Amit Kapoor on behalf of the owner. Of course there always remains scope of further expansion and improvement which I desire to see on my subsequent visit. Thanks to Amit ji and Booking.com.

United States of AmericaThe bed was exceptionally hard The bathroom is outside the room so you have to go into the common area to use the toilet. It wasn't really a problem for us - was just a minor thing. If you are ok with an Indian toilet, the other bedroom has an ensuite. He gave us this room because the bathroom has a western toilet.
Beautiful interior with well appointed furnishings. Amit Kapoor is an absolutely wonderful person. He gave us all kinds of suggestions what to do in the area and was there to get and see us off on the morning that we left. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook for yourselves and is impeccably clean. There is an RO for water. The balcony is beautiful as well.

We were in this property in this week. Our stayi g here was really enjoyable and excellent. Host Amit Kapoor is an awesome person. While entering the property I was suffering from food poisoning as I took food in Gaya that caused all sorts of problem . But while we enter the property and our room is alloted, at that time Amit arranged a good physician to look after me. Doctor treated me well and I was recovered very soon. Really this type of help is unforgotable. Location of the property is excellent, just a stone throw distance from Sankatmochon temple. Three restaurants are nearby, you can get good food. From here you can go any where in Benaras, you will get Auto , toto. Now about the property. There are two rooms, one hall and one shared kitchen. Our room was very specious, neet and clean. We have an attached bathroom. There are two specious wordrobes and we have kept our belongings there. Rooms are really well cleaned and well maintained. Hospitality of Amit is 24/7. We have not felt anytime that we are away from home. Decoration of the rooms are really awesome. We have cooked our own food in shared kitchen. All sets of utensils and gasoven have been provided by Amit. It is chargeable but you need not worry about cleaning of utensils after cook, Amit will take care of that. Both rooms have TV, you can watch. Bathrooms are specious and contain geyser. If any sort of help and service is required Amit will always be at your service. We have met Amit's parents and they are really awesome persons. As I was suffering from food poison, Auntyji cooked food for my wife. It is really unbelievable. We have stayed here for five days and enjoyed a lot. I am highly recommending this property for staying instead of staying in hotel on Benaras, you will really find a feel of home away from home. Thank you Amit for the hospitality.

IndiaOne of the rooms has an attached toilet which is Indian, though Mr Amit Kapoor has a plan to convert that to a western one.
The property is in a prime location and all kinds of transport facilities are available. You can cook your own food as all the accessories for cooking are available including a gas connection. Mr Amit Kapoor is always available himself to help the guest 24/7, always a call away. A very sweet person indeed.
