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 are 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 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.).

Place is spacious compare to similar priced rooms in varanasi. The staff is extremely helpful. One day it was raining and i could borrow their umbrella. The space has lots of areas to hang out if you are bored in your room.

IndiaSome things could be improved such as the washroom on the terrace and the common area gets too hot in summer so you can either play games or keep the cooler on as it makes the ball fly. And the tv space in the common room is a little far from the cooler to be effective there.
Amazing, friendly staff. Great artworks on the walls, Clean rooms, AC in dorms were working, the city looks beautiful from the terrace, lovely people, made some friends for life there. A lot of things are easily accessible from there.

United KingdomThe staff were really friendly and helpful; when we weren’t sure what to do they even went out to buy a game for us to play! They clean the dorms thoroughly several times a day so it was the most hygienic stay in India so far! It’s the best value for money and if I ever visit Varanasi again this is the only place I’d stay.

Everything ! Location of the hostel was close to Ganga River and all the main street market. The staff of the hostel was very nice and helpful. The rooms was clean and bed comfortable. Rooms with AC + individual fan per bed. You can stay on the common area and use common washroom in case of early check-in/ late check-out. I was quite sick 2-3 days due to the heat, and the owner of hostel helped me a lot to get medicine and rest. I felt like home in my own family. Thank you. A Big THANK YOU for all. I really enjoyed my stay at Gypsy Diaries Varanasi. Vibes of hostel is very nice, friendly and like family. Special mention for SONU and his brother. No other words than just veryyy thank you. I'll be back for sure ! See you soon

IndiaOne of the nicest hostels I have stayed in india. The staff were so helpful and most special Sonu jee and they gave us some wonderful memory and insightful tours of the city so kind. They also arranged our bus to agra for us and tuktuk drives ect.. The place was so quite at night had a really good sleep there. The rooms were clean and spacious and they had some lovey areas of the hostel to hang out in! A rooftop terrace, a room with a pool table and lovely couches to sit on. We planned to stay for one night but ended up staying for three. Free water refill and laundry is also provided! It is also very close to the main ghats and some very nice restaurants, ATMs, etc... Would 100 percent stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi. 😁😁

GreeceThe location of the property within walking distance from the ghats is a big advantage for anyone visiting Varanasi and it's also located in a neighbourhood where one can experience the city's everyday life. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they were happy to arrange my transfer to the airport and were always available. My room was big enough and so was the bathroom. Appreciated a lot the fact that my room was quiet even though the property is centrally located. Definitely would stay again!
