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.).

ArgentinaThe shower wasn't working from the shower head just from the tub spout. They try pushing you to pay with cash (They should understand using an ATM also is more expensive for the guest)
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The have a good location near the ghats and a good view from the terrace. The room was okay for indian standars with a/c. They allowed us to check in earlier for free and extended some hours in the check out for 1500 INR.

AustriaBeware of the mischievous monkeys - but no worries they don‘t come in ;)
It is a fairly simple but clean little hotel. It‘s location is simply fantastic, just steps from the Ghats. The roof terrace has a panoramic view of the river, the food is also tasty. If you think that guests at the 5 star palace hotel next door pay 1000 usd for the same view staying at Bhadra Kali is a steal ;) The friendly and welcoming staff also deserves a special mention.

AustraliaThere is no vehicle access to the hotel because of its location in the old city. You have to walk through the busy streets with your luggage from the taxi. The hotel arranged to meet us and we travel light so it was not a problem for us but be aware.
Great location on the Ghat. It is a budget hotel so the rooms are old but it is comfy enough, the breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff was great! Super friendly, attentive and very responsive. On my last day, they walked me to the street where you can get a taxi and helped me sort it out, as it was mayhem during Holy and very hard to get around. Top-notch service. The location is ideal : super close to some of the main ghats. Breakfast was good, served on the nice rooftop, which is caged-off from the monkeys : a must in Varanasi if you wanna relax. 👍 I highly recommend!

ThailandThere's no lift facility but Akashji was kind enough to organize my parents on first floor.
Akashji is very proactive, helps with all tour packages in and around Varanasi. Helped us with boat trip as well. The hotel is in a narrow laneway, cars do not go there but we hired a rickshaw to reach out you have to walk 10 mins as mentioned in the site. Balcony view is mesmerizing.
