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 KingdomIt was very loud the night of our stay - check ahead to see if live music is on if you want a quiet night! Also seemed to be lots of activity and people coming up and down the stairs and turning on corridor lights throughout the night. The room could have been a bit cleaner too.
Very handy location, safe and well-managed. We were extending our stay in Udaipur for 1 night and had to move accommodation, so was a brief stay only. They let us check in early which was very helpful. Comfy bed.

IndiaStaff at the reception. Some of them were rude and ignorant. They were least concerned about some of the requests. Even after making considerable requests to have a lower bed in a dormitory which was available the entire time, this guy at reception, Shiva, outrightly refused the request and told me that I can have my money back and look someplace else.
The location, rooftop, cleanliness and overall vibe.

New ZealandRules not followed by the people who stay in the dormitories. Outside people coming to room and drinking in the dormitory, not respecting the hostel rools for silence after 10pm. The cost of food and especially the super high cost for drinks.

At first after a fight with Cab driver i was upset as he tried to cheat but he was unsuccessful though :P So as soon as i reached , Punith the first person at the reception greeted and welcomed that changed my entire state of mind. The staff were really polite, understandable and well spoken. The location is really good. I would recommend this property to my frnds too and next time would stay again here Thnx to booking .com :)

United KingdomShalom Backpackers was a great choice as the room was spacious, clean and had warm water! It was my partners birthday and the staff helped to decorate the room to make it extra special! We were also backpacking at the time and the food in the hostel was extremely tasty and excellent value for money! Would definitely recommend. Also Mavi’s cafe across the road does great barista coffee!

IndiaIt's not that I don't like but it's moreover it's a hostel so sitting peacefully in the rooftop at night for couples is not easy people show interest in playing loud music and killing your peace. But overall it was a very good stay would like to stay again...✌️

IndiaThe hot water is connected to solar panels, so it doesn't get hot-hot. At best it is close to lukewarm - so if you're not used to cold water, or you like hot water after a long day of exploring, I'll consider other options. The sheets were clean, but the pillows around the window seating weren't the cleanest ones and had patches on them. The window seating doesn't automatically come w the view. None of the rooms w window seating have a view, and have a wall to open to. As a traveler, I'm used to having electric kettle (for water heating) in my room, but since this was a hostel, there was none. However, I wasn't expecting this, so wasn't a problem for me. But if you're one for the midnight coffees and hot chocolates, this ain't it. They don't refill your water like hotels (and trust me, I've seen fair share of hostel travelers expecting hotel services), but give you bottles which you can refill from ground floor - so not actually something I disliked, but something that can be an inconvenience.
The location is amazing, and so were the interiors of the room I stayed at (superior double room). Most prime locations (gangaur ghat, city palace, jagdish temple) are within a distance of 500m, and all others (sajjangarh fort, fateh sagar lake and others) are within a radius of 5kms. That means if you are a good walker, you'll have everything at a walking distance. The room we stayed in was BIG and comfortable, had a window seating (posted here on my Instagram handle: prachithakurphd) and the staff was friendly, accommodating our late night cravings for the elaichi chai (cardamom tea). The sheets were clean and the towels were changed everyday (on request). Bathroom was HUGE, and sparkling clean with hand wash, body wash and soaps. They also restocked the TPs on request. The view from the cafe/terrace is SPECTACULAR w the pichola in front and if there is one thing you must get this stay for - take it for the view, and you won't regret it.
