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.).

PolandQuite difficult to find when you try to reach there the first time. It is quite a distance to walk, and complex maze to go thru if you go there from a cab from the airport. (Cars are not allowed in the old city area) Room was quite small, way smaller than the one I have booked and saw in the pictures form Booking, but yeah, big enough to sleep :)
A nice place, just as described in many positive comments about the place. Location is pretty good, even though a bit noisy in the evening, but what you can expect, it is Varanasi :)

ItalyWe only stayed 2 nights but I appreciated how Sonu, the owner, cares about keeping the guesthouse clean and well decorated. I regret not going on a boat tour with him :( Our room was clean and confy, we had a good time. I recommend Aadha-Aadha Café, just one minute walking from the guest house, for a very nice breakfast!

AustraliaNot particularly welcoming. Doesn’t matter, but noticeable. Sheets were a bit grotty, but I used my sleeping bag liner. Only one towel for two people. Extra charge of IDR$700 for late check out for night train. Was worth it for the air con!
The air con was excellent. A one minute walk to nearest ghat.

SpainIt is quite overpriced, although other options in Varanasi seemed too dirty to consider. Just a warning; we couldn't find any supermarkets in Varanasi. I am glad I brought some food from Europe!
Sonu was very helpful and quick to respond making our arrival in India smoother: forewarning us about the multitudes of scammers in the city. He has a nice tall house with a roof terrace. We went at the start of July, expecting mosquitos, but there were none. The AC worked well, which was very important as it was extremely hot and humid.

United StatesI didn’t realize there was a curfew, so I was locked out one night and I had to ring the bell, which I felt terrible waking up the house. The manager was pretty upset cause he was concerned. Just be sure and know this is a home and you do need to be in before 11pm.. or just let them know. :)
Marigold is a sweet guest house right off the main ghat. Wonderful location. Cute spot in old town.. my room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The ac was fantastic for the hot weather. Was a good place to rest in the middle of the day.. and quiet at night.

Japanperhaps a restaurant on sight would be good,there are many options nearby. apart from that everything was great
this hotel is right next to the main ghat on the ganga, but hidden away so it does'nt get the noise. the room was small and not to airy , I booked the cheapest one, so I'm sure the other ones were better, the owner is nice and friendly ,hardly seen him , but present when you need him, I had some financial problems , and he came to the rescue which he didnt have to . that was really nice. would recommend it to others.
