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.).

United KingdomThe bed is super hard, almost like sleeping on a table.
It is a very atmospheric place with a traditional decor. The shower is perfect! The best thing about this hotel is the location, very close to all the places of interest. We thought it might be a chaotic place being so close to the ghats, but actually it is very calm and quiet inside. Overall we found it clean and comfortable.

IndiaMr Ajay Singh in Reservations had a curt and indifferent manner that made us apprehensive initially but fortunately all the Front Desk and Housekeeping staff were warm and helpful. Breakfast ticks many boxes but is average in taste and ambiance. Do keep in mind that Assi Ghat is at one end of the riverfront
Well located near one of the main Ghats so commuting to/fro by autos or boats is easy. Room was clean with all basic conveniences and adequately sized (about 170 sft plus en suite bathroom of about 30 sft) for travellers who are going to be out and about most of the time

AustraliaCommunication could be improved if staff had better basic English. Stayed here 8 years ago and the hotel has definitely declined in standard since then. Hotel also forgot to arrange the pre organised airport pick up. So we had to arrange taxi at airport.
Right on Assi Ghat and perfect for walking along the Ganges and ghats. Food was good with very willing restaurant staff.

IndiaThe second room we were allotted was on the top most roof for viewing hole ganges. It was costliest but most disappointing. It was very dirty and maintained casually. It was like barsati.
Break fast was denied to us despite it was in the package. After much discussion and showing the mail to us, it was allowed. It was insulting. Break fast was ok.

IndiaThere are no elevators in the hotel and the trudge up to the rooms or rooftop restaurant may not be friendly for the elderly. The food is average and the menu has no theme. The breakfast buffet is passable at best. Many rooms have no windows or view. The amenities in the bathrooms need improvement.
The hotel is well-located and has a unique old-world charm. The staff are friendly and try to cater with a smile.
