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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

GermanyI had a great stay at Shiv Shakti Yogpeeth. It is really nicely located up the hill from Tapovan. Surrounded by green, birds sing, the sounfs of river and waterfall rest and joy come by itself. It is also a very nice spot, if you like hiking. The other day I did the Kunjapuri temple trail and it was strenuous but beautiful. The hosts as well as the people I met were all nice. The food is fresh and tasty and facilities are clean. Enjoy :)

Abkhazia, GeorgiaThe location is a little far from the main road.
The environment around the stay was very amazing, it is very close to a lot of waterfalls. The cafe on the stage is very nice and the food is very good. The staff and the owner are also very nice and helpful. I will recommend everyone to stay there for at least a few days if you are going to Rishikesh.

Location is everything here. High over Rishikesh settled in a lush forest with an amazing rocky stream in front. The cottages are perfectly in harmony with nature and the wonderful owners Ram and Dhiksha with their team make you think twice wether you go out to explore the many amazing things around Rishikesh,..... or maybe just chill in this wonderful oasis!

IndiaThe first impression of the property was great.It's location is in the heart of the mountains and if you are into trekking and have minimum luggage then u can also trek to the place or call the owner to book a taxi for you. On the side of the hostel you can find a gorgeous tributary of river Gange with many waterfalls, there you can also go for canyoning. The property also has a swimming pool facility, yoga hall and space for exercise. During my stay they also hosted a wonderful musician on the weekend who made the evening magical. The place is absolutely superb, the staff were most friendly, helpful, full of local knowledge and Ram bhai (the owner) is very polite, jolly and always ready to go the extra mile for the guests. The facilities were clean, the dorm was spacious, there were lockers for the backpacks and also free wireless internet in the lounge. Food was also great and a real bonus is banana pancake with honey, which I loved very much and also recommend. Some of my orders were a little late and I have to repeat them again but my stay was so comfortable and relaxing that I won't even complain about this. The Indian cuisine that they served was also very delicious. Overall the quality of food I found was organic and as good as home. Overall I had a lovely, relaxing time at this place. I met new people and made some good friends. It was everything I needed and wanted from my vacations, clean and homely environment, close to nature and away from the irritating traffic of Rishikesh. The staff members treated me very well and were very pleasant. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely return.

Ram is such a friendly and helpful host who takes care of everything. As of the food, it is very tasteful and of high hygiene standards. I am only looking forward to return to Shiv Shakti:)

United StatesWe didn't realize how hot Rishikesh could get in mid July. Luckily it rained for a couple of days which cooled it down. The staff provided us with a table fan which helped a lot. I would suggest planning a visit in winter/spring time. Also the road from Tapovan to this place is rocky and low clearance cars like sedans should be avoided. When arranging a pick up, insist to be picked from Tapovan. They asked us to come midway up the road and our taxi driver was almost ready to quit and take us back.
The owners and staff are amazing. They make you feel at home and do their best to address any concerns that you have. The food is delicious and has a home cooked feeling to it. The location is picturesque and the premises are tidy and well kept. I was looking for a quiet retreat with my parents in their 70's and this place provided us that. We got the cottage at the back of the property which was even more secluded. Sitting on the patio, sipping tea, was our favorite pastime. The yoga and meditation classes are for seasoned practitioners, not novices like us. The yoga trainer Bala's chanting has a mesmerizing effect. In all, it was a great experience.
