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.).

AustraliaPerfect location right next to the museum. The manager was very helpful, however the night guy wasn't very easy to communicate with. We got a free upgrade to the bigger room when our hot water wasn't working, which was nice. The rooms were comfy and clean.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Good location and walking distance to Golden Temple and major places of interest in Amritsar. AC and decent size clean room with private bathroom with a comfortable King size double bed. Will stay here if we visit Amritsar again in near future. Will recommend this accommodation to other visitors.

Great place for family and solo travellers. They have all the amenities including a functional kitchen for general use, wifi, geyser, bedding etc that too at a very nominal cost. Also, the manager and the night receptionist both are very helpful and always smiling. Make it feels like home

IndiaSignage needs to be improved. Though I was standing very near to the property I had to call the property to get the directions. The staff was helpful as they sent a help to pick up our luggage
The Property is very well located walking distance from the Golden temple which I was visiting. The property did not have its own parking but is located very near to the MCD parking which is in walking distance.

Backpacker’s Nest is very conveniently located. A leisurely 10-15 minute walk will take you past there Partition Museum, Heritage Street and the Golden Temple. We booked the family room. It was clean, spacious and comfortable for our family of 3. The biggest plus was the property manager Manju and her team who were approachable and really helpful!

GermanyRoom only in house windows (though it said garden views). In general did not completely fulfill description. Felt kind of closed in. Sheets had stains (though seemed washed). No towel, at this price I always got towels at other places. No social vibe at all.
Great location. Size of the room. I could have breakfast on arrival date as I was leaving during the night and couldn't have it on check out date. Also staff seemed eager to get the room ready for me before check in time as I was sick. Could use the kitchen for tea water as well.

United States-We stayed two different times here and I one of the room really needed renovation because the walls were messy and the restroom could use some maintenance as well. Our second room was smaller but much cleaner and nicer looking. -The first time we stayed., there was no hot water, which seems to be the norm in india if you're staying at a budget place. Second time, the water was warmer but didn't get hot. -There was one night one of the staff was blasting music or movie/show? Not sure why he needs to have it on such a high volume when the place is quiet... lol
-Location was perfect. It really is closest you can get to the center for the low price. Right next to the Partition museum/plaza where you can access starbucks, nice restuarants, and cafes. Also, right next to the restaurant, Bharawan Da Dhaba Amritsar. I'm not joking, go and try the dali deals there. One of the best food I've had in my three weeks in india. -The owner and staff were very nice. They really make an effort to help you in your travels and sightseeing. She also has numbers of different tourist agencies and has number for the bus driver that takes tourists to the wagah border ceremony for a very very cheap price. -The rooms were very spacious and clean overall, the A/C was crucial for us because it was boiling hot when we went. It was working perfectly
