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.).

IndiaPocket friendly, Saurabh , the owner is a gem. He really works towards making tourists stay comfortable and best. But the staff is not very friendly, they give more importance and preference to foreigner tourists than Indian tourists. Saurabh needs to work on this sector. Apart from this, everything is excellent.

United StatesIt was really just fine. I guess an elevator would be nice for some guests since it's a 5 floor walkup, but I am in good shape so I didn't mind.
Excellent location (5 min walk or less from Assi Ghat), large and comfortable bed, everything clean, pleasant rooftop breakfast experience, very helpful staff -- the hotel manager in particular, Saurabh, was extremely warm and welcoming. He helped me arrange taxis, know the local events, etc, and was very understanding when I arrived super-late / when my plans changed. I would stay here again next time, definitely.

We chose Gullyghar Homestay based on the price and location. Later we learned that was the best choice we could have made. The guest house is really simple and mimics the feeling of Varanasi. We had few plans but thanks to Saurabh Pandey we could manage our trip much better and meet places we would not to, for example, the boat trip at 5am was amazing. Although it was really hot and humid, our bedroom had A/C which really helped to relax when need to. We really enjoyed the terrace while having breakfast and just chatting with each other. In the end, if you are travelling alone or even with friends, and want to meet nice people and see as much as you can, I highly recommend Gullyghar Homestay. Thanks and happy travels.

HungaryThe bathroom vent practically opened into another bathroom, similarly the room vent was only separated from the other room by a taped sheet of paper. It is unpleasant that you are almost in the same space with strangers, who were also terribly loud at dawn. This is not a properly private solution. We could not pay by card unfortunately.
Very informative and helpful owner, great location, good breatfast.
