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.).

AustraliaThe shower will take a bit of time to heat up so I would be mindful of that but otherwise worked well once hot!
The location of the property was excellent for our one night stay in Varanasi. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the Dashashwamedh Ghat where you can watch the evening Ganga aarti. The room itself was comfortable, clean and the staff were always able to help us when needed.

The hotel located at Godowlia, walking distance to Dashashwamedh Ghat, although located at small street but very good location. If you go by taxi from the airport, let the driver call the hotel, there will be a staff pick you at the main road. All the staffs are really friendly. The room was clean and nice. Hot water at bathroom working well. There is a safety box in the room. I also ordered some food from the hotel's restaurant, it was okay :) I like it If I go to Varanasi again, I would definitely stay here again ;)

United KingdomThe rooms are lush. The location is great. Staff were nice. Rooms in Varanasi are typically quite small. This was fine for a few days, but if longer term will want something bigger. Great value for money.

IndiaHad an overall good stay at Namaste Banaras Hotel with my family. Hotel is located in a small alley, not difficult to find with google map. The manager and helpers were nice people and helpful. Hot water was always available with a switch in the room itself. Smart TV available in the room. Although we had a good stay, the room located on 2nd floor was not very sound proof as we could hear noise from the corridors and construction work quite loud in the evening, it was a bit disturbing. Closest ghat is Dashashwamedh ghat and Kashi Vishwanath temple is close. Since the hotel is in very close proxity to the ghats and temple, cars are not allowed on that road, a taxi from the airport for example will drop you at a crossing but it's within walking distance. We had an unexpected problem with the payment machine used at the hotel. Payment made with a debit card was declined but amount was actually paid to the hotel. It is only when I received a debit transaction msg on my phone from my bank that I came to know the amount was actually deducted from my account. The manager was quick to respond, checked with the bank and sorted out the matter in few hours. Thank you to the manager and staff :)
