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'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...).

ThailandStay only if u need to be on the Ghat with gangs views. It’s a pretty old property. Best for backpackers. For families, there are several options at the same price. The entrance to the property would repel anyone. Should maintain and not allow stress passers. Also, there is construction work going on now. Please be prepared for the music.
Good location the the Assi Ghat. The manager was great. Wonderful views of ganga.

United KingdomThis didn't bother us but it's worth being aware that the morning Aarti ceremony will probably wake you up between 5 and 6AM. That being said, they are a really special experience and everyone in Varanasi generally starts their day very early.
The guest house is in a brilliant location near Assi Ghat (one of the largest and most popular ghats in Varanasi), making it very easy to watch the morning and evening Aarti ceremonies. We were so well looked after by Jitendra and Shikha who amongst other things helped us book a sunrise boat ride, airport travel and prepared delicious home cooked meals throughout our stay. We were so pleased and the food was genuinely some of the best we've had in North India.

This is one of the best budget hotels I've stayed in, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Don't let the scruffy outside fool you, once you get inside it's a charming and peaceful little sanctuary. The staff is super nice and helpful, I felt at home right away. And the location is great too, right by Assi Ghat. I ate at the rooftop restaurant a couple of times and the food was really good. It's basically home-made food that one of the ladies cooks fresh when you order it, nothing is pre-made. I paid a few dollars extra to have a room with a balcony, and I ended up in room 11, which is probably one of their best, with a view onto the river. It's quite spacious, and bright and airy. The only downside to having a front-facing room is that it can get a bit noisy from the street and river-front activities, but it didn't bother me much. Highly recommended!

IndiaThere was no bottled drinking water provided in the room. I asked for refill and I was obliged. Being right at the ghat ,you can hear the loudspeakers and honking from the parking below. Room itself is value for money however there are couple of steps to climb, hence may be a not very ideal if there is an elderly guest and if plan is to stay for longer duration. Other than that hotel is really good , hosts are non intrusive (believe they live at the property) . I will definitely stay again when visiting Varanasi.
Very good location. Right at the Assi Ghat with Ganga view. Hotel is very clean and has a homely feel. They also have kitchen and one can order food in advance. I didn't try though as only stayed for a day and wanted to explore local food.
