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 Arab EmiratesThe location is incredible. Having a balcony right on the river is unbeatable, especially in Varanasi. It’s also useful for finding your bearings. The city behind becomes a maze very quickly. Breakfast was nice. Helpful staff. Easy walking distance to all the main ghats.

GreeceIt was not straightforward to locate from the roadway.
Great view of the Ganges and Ghats from the Kashi Suite balconies (2 separate balconies). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was a good size, bed was comfortable, TV was useful as were tea and coffee making facilities. There was also a good restaurant on the first floor.

PortugalEnjoy discovering how to walk in Varanasi maze and try to found the hotel. Tip: head up to Rana Mahal and climb the nearest stairs.
If you come for the astoinishing views and the possibility to watch from your balcony all the life at the ghats and a beautiful sunrise, this is the place for you. The room was clean and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast was pretty ok too

IndiaThe room (including bathroom) is super small so make sure to book the largest they have. That is only think that we didn't like but if you are solo traveller it is perfect.
We recently stayed at this property. It is just above the ghats and 2 minutes walk to Dashashvamedh ghat. The staff is kind and helpful. They even have a restaurant which serves all types of cuisines and homely food.

CanadaThe room size is very small, super claustrophobic, the balcony is alright, bathroom had such a tiny wash basin, and no facilities to store anything.
The main advantage is the proximity to the Dasaswamedh ghats and other ghats nearby (Harishchandra and assi Is a slightly longer walk), and the view from the room if you’ve a balcony. Apart from that, nothing works for this property for the price you pay..
