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.).

IndiaA home away from a home. Gaurav Bhai is an amazing person, super helpful and a perfect host. It was a delight to speak to him on spiritualism. His father is also an exceptional and caring person and a very learned man. I never ever even feel for a single second that I was staying at a homestay. I felt at home. Tips: Must try The special tea and Maggi made by Gaurav bhai. Highly highly recommended.

IndiaI loved my stay at Ira Homestay. True to its name, it felt as if I was staying at home. I had arrived very early in the morning (at 4am) in Mathura. The owner Gaurav, was kind enough to pick me up from the Bus stand. The food was amazing and having just recovered from food poisoning, this was very much appreciated and needed. Both the breakfast and dinner were simple, delicious and healthy. Regarding the accommodation, I had booked a tent and despite the cold weather, the tent was warm and adequate blankets were provided to keep me warm at night. The location is close to the station and bus stand and it is easy to find a shared e-rickshaw to the station. I was particularly impressed by the owner, Gaurav's hospitality. He made sure I felt at home. It is a very good budget friendly close to public transport. I would highly recommend Ira Homestay.

United KingdomThe place is a bit far from the city centre, but then again - Mathura is not very large, so not much of an issue. The room I stayed in has no window and the power socket is very high up the wall.
The family who manage the property are very welcoming and nice people. Gaurav - the owner, invited me to a morning prayer and shared a bit about Hinduism. He also gave me a ride to nearby Vrindavan and to the train station after my stay. The property is clean, has hot water, they serve breakfast and even did my laundry for me. It is also very close to the train station. The rooftop yard is a very nice place to relax and wind down.

GreeceIf you are planning to stay here only for visiting Vrindavan, multiple days like we did, keep in mind that with traffic it can be 30 minutes to an hour.
We stayed here for four nights during November. Our room was very simple but clean with shower and hot water. There is a menu with few options for meals and drinks if you would like to order something. The real highlight was the host, Gaurav who is the most humble and sweet person we've met so far. He will go above and beyond to help, always with a smile! With a fare charge he was taking us to Vrindavan and back everyday. He is also offering tours to the important places to visit around the area like Govardam and Barsana which im sure that would be great as he knowledgable and deeply spiritual but unfortunately we did not have time to take it.

I have booked Ira homestay for two nights. Its perfect place if you looking for pleasant stay along with homely vibe. Host Gaurav bhaiyya and there family were very good host and always ready to help you with smiling face for all the things you require/ask. We booked king size room which was very nice neat and clean. You get good geyser in bathroom. Front of our room they have dine out area where you can enjoy your food from host which very good in taste or if you want you can do swiggy/zomato also. Host Gaurav bhaiyya provides there own ro water bottle instead mineral water which I liked much bcoz since its ro its good. Two instances I categorically want to mention, I was sick when I am in Mathura so When asked about Hot water Gaurav bhaiyya provided hot water in thermass in entire two days of my stay, I was not having paracetamol for fever when asked he provided that too. Second instance at early morning we wanted to travel to Agra via Train - we hired one rickshaw for that time but he not arrived at designated time, when our host Gaurav bhaiyya saw that he taken our bags and loaded into his Maruti Ciaz car and dropped us all the way to Mathura junction. Such love and hospitality is something you cannot gauge in money. We blessed we found such amazing host and friend in Mathura. I can surely recommend this place to anyone. He is very charming and knowledgeable person, this property is pretty famous in foreigners that has such reason.

This Homestay is the place to be. So close to Vrindavan. They are so adorable and so helpful. You feel immediately at home. Very spiritual. They helped me so much, I don't know how to thank them. They find solutions for me even for complex situations. The dinner is very good quality and price is very cheap. I slept on the tent on the rooftop. It was magic. And very confortable. You should try this option! If I could have stay longer I would have stayed 1 month. Please keep going on. You are doing this with your heart. Om Namah Shivaya

He always smiles, full of energy, has excellent driving and organization skills. We love him so so muchh. We can't imagine how we can survive without him. If you get trouble, he will try his best to help you. Actually, he helped us solve all the obtacles we met on the trip. IRA is a comfortable and lovely homestay where you will not only receive a warm welcome from the host, but also achieve a wealth of knowledge shared by him. Come to Mathura, Stay in IRA and you will have unforgettable memories like us. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
