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.).

IndiaI couldn’t imagine myself not staying at this place on my next visit to udaipur. The location, the core team, the views were the best you can get it on lake pichola. The sunrise tour was just exceptional. Cheers to Ashish sir Vineet and the team for providing a memorable trip.

FranceIt's been my second time and I cannot imagine staying somewhere else. The hostel is perfectly located, on Lal Ghat, and extremely comfortable: you will feel like home. The people, unparalleled kindness and the amazing vibes from the staff truly set this place apart. (Sunset on the rooftop in the evening and the moto tour at sunrise in the hills surrounding the city are game changers of a visit in Udaipur)

United KingdomNice rooftop bar, but a shame you can't see the lake.
Arrived here for Holi. Very helpful staff at reception explaining the day and also the hostel events too. Food was reasonable, and drinks too. Very good Holi organisations, which made a big difference. It is a hostel so quite basic, but it was fine for our purposes.

IndiaUndoubtedly the best hostel to stay in Udaipur. The place is only 200m from city palace. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean. they have a lot of games in the common room which is very cozy and has a lake view too. Rooftop cafe serves amazing food and nothing beats the sunset from the rooftop. From sunrise tours, to karaoke nights, to movie nights, this place has it all. Also extended my stay to celebrate Holi here and had a great deal of fun. 100 % recommended.

United Kingdom- The room we booked offered a lake view and although this was technically true, to enjoy it you did have to stand in the corner of the room. - The bathroom was generally a lower quality than the rest of the room/hostel. It was quite small, awkward and strangely set up. - The bed and pillows were quite hard.
- Staff were excellent and very friendly. Particular shout outs for Dwisha at front desk who was always lovely, warm, chatty, and quick with recommendations and Aman who was a super laid back, friendly, great activity host and able to sort out a restaurant booking for us where we had failed! - Amazing rooftop for a beautiful sunset view. Happy hour (3 for 2 on beers, 6.30-8pm) and free chai at sunset. -Sunrise scooter tour arranged by the hostel was also excellent (they take you to a secluded hilltop for great sunrise views then an amazing view of Lake Badi, and breakfast!) and great value for money. Highlight of our Udaipur stay.

United KingdomNothing not to like, just a suggestion would be to create a WhatsApp group for anyone who stays to make it a little simpler to organise day trips out to kumbalgarh etc. they have information boards but easier to connect with other through a group they can join and leave if they like

IndiaWe had booked a room which was reasonably sized except it did not have any view, but the rooftop seating more than make up for that.
Location. Location. Location. You cannot find a better deal at this price-point for this location. The hostel is most centrally located, just the lane behind City Palace and Jagdish Temple. Other major attractions like Gangur Ghat, Bagaur ki Haveli etc. are also 5 minutes walk from here. The hostel has restaurant seating at two levels on its terrace which offers most amazing view of lake pichhola, the city and the Lake Palace. The food and drinks served was good. The vibe of the hostel is young, casual, friendly and guests freely interact with each other. The staff is friendly and warm. I wish to particularly mention the very chirpy, talkative and young lady at the reception - Dwisha who brought such wonderful vibe to the whole place. Always ready to chit-chat and offer friendly guidance. All in all, we were more than happy with the stay.

IndiaThis is a great place to stay at Udaipur ! Amazing location right next to the lake…. Fallen in love with the sunsets from Mantra Roof top with complimentary chai… Reasonable tariff & great Hospitality from the entire Mantra team Ashish, Bhushan, Vinit, Dwisha & Aman. The rooms are spacious and super clean. All basic facilities are taken care off. Huge common area, good for workation. The wifi works best there. Lots of activities they organise. Don’t miss the Karaoke thursdays with them and movie nights on Sunday were my favourite. The sunrise tour was the highlight of the trip. A must do with Mantra. Met so many travellers and made lifelong friends over here. All and all it was a memorable trip, I literally kicked myself out from here. Lol. Thanks for all the lovely memories Mantra. You rock. Will be back soon. ❤️

The hostel's cleanliness and amazing vibe added to the overall charm, contributing to a memorable experience. Thanks to Aman, Vineet, and Dwisha's hospitality, Hostel Mantra became more than just accommodation; it became a place where lasting memories were forged. Highly recommended for those seeking a welcoming atmosphere and a host of friendly faces on their journey.

The hostel is very well located for tourism in Udaipur. The staff was super nice and offered great activities to the guests for a good price. My 6-beds room was bigger than expected, with comfortable private beds and good bathroom. They allowed me to use the common areas (nice lounge and good sized bathroom) when I arrived very early in the morning. They have a good rooftop restaurant.
