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.).

CanadaThere is no tuk tuk nor car entrance anywhere close. Lots and lots of walking required, which at night can be a bit off-putting.
Gorgeous rooftop and affordable accomodation, run by a reasonable Non-profit. Very kind staff.

BrazilBreakfast was just ok, little and plain. I would advise people who have walking problems to ask for a room on first floor, since the stairs are steep and narrow.
The place was comfortable and clean, near major attractions. Staff was very professional, suggesting places to go, drawing a make so we could locate ourselves.

CroatiaThis guesthouse is real gem in the centre of Varanasi. Very cosy and comfort and extremely clean with exceptional staff. It is also worth of mention that is managed by NGO so the part of the income goes for education of girls and for protection of Varanasi heritage:)

GermanyRam Bhavan Residency is a beautiful quite place in the old town of Varanasi not too far from the Ganges. Everything is very clean and the rooms are beautiful. Is a place to rest and feel at home. The breakfast and food, that you can order is very good. There is a kitchen you can use, if you would like to. There is a café on the roof. And even higher a look out. If you like there is more to explore inside the house: decorations, plants, art, books and it is part of an educational society as well. Enjoy :)

GermanyThe cleaning of the toilets could be more often and the breakfast is very basic.
The location itself and where the residency is placed are the best point of this accommodation. It is 2 minutes from Munschi Ghat, you can walk to the evening Araati in 3 minutes. In the middle of the most authentic and colourful part of the city. Everything is very easy to reach from there. The food in the restaurant is superb and for a fair price. The staff is totally kind and reliable.

Authentic and beautiful property right in the centre of the ghats. Staff were always helpful and attentive to our needs, and the rooftop cafe gave great views of the city, particularly in the evening. Rooms were comfortable and well decorated.
