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.).

IndiaThe hotel is on the ghats. The car drops you off on the main road which is around 500 metres away. The elderly and the not so abled will find it difficult to reach thru the small lanes. Though they have staff help you with the luggage, pl make sure you call them before going to the hotel. If you are taking an uber do not put the destination as the hotel instead put the J&K Bank which is on the main road. We had a nightmarish time locating the hotel after we put the location as the hotel.
The view was exceptional . We could see the Ganga from our room

IndiaBehaviour of all stuffs except the one in the kitchen, which I believe is a separate one from the main hotel is very cordial towards us. Me and my sister were travelling alone and stuff made our stay very comfortable. Would like to mention Atul Jaiswal and the owner Saurav Sharma.

IndiaWhat can be done is iron grills can be added to the doors and windows. We had a visit by a monkey who ran off with some eatables. Imagine staying by the river with your doors and windows bolted.
The best thing about Sita was the location.

AustraliaThe rooms are in need of a good clean and a maintenance program is needed. Some of the rooms have been gutted are are being fitted out but maintenance will be needed to keep on top of issues.
The Hotel is in a prime location overlooking the Ganges River; the staff were very helpful and welcoming; the bed was clean, firm and comfortable; there was plenty of hot water and the internet worked well.

IndiaOh !! Many.. it definitely is not valuable for money. 1) The room is cramped, 2)no dressing table, 3) rooms are not cleaned very day. One day I need not ask for room cleaning and they didn't do. So you need to ask for room cleaning every day. 4) Door lock is not good, one needs to spend few minutes to lock the door. 5) The day we arrived, there were hairs in bathtub 6) one fine morning there was no water in the room..had to go to reception to ask for starting the pump as none was picking the phone 7) covers of small side square pillows are untidy, black and colour faded. 8) The staircase just outside the hotel entrance is very untidy full of trash. I asked why they don't clean .. they said it is the duty of the town corporation. They may be right but they can clean that if they want to maintain the name of the property 9) food was tasty but there were very few options We stayed in the Maharaja suite. There is nothing "Raja" forget about "Maha".. and let's not talk about "suites" This is an honest and unbiased review
The location is really good. One just needs to go down the stairs and ganga is near to you and all the prominent ghats within the 5 min of walk staffs are good and helpful. They always try to help. They helped in booking the site seeing cabs, guiding in finding saree stores etc.

United KingdomThe hotel is currently undergoing some work. It really needs renovation and maintainance and maybe this is what is happening. I changed rooms and the second room was MUCH better than the first. Varanasi is what it is and don't go there expecting 5 star luxury because you won't get it anywhere. But that's part of what helps you understand it and immerse into it. Breakfast was 1 star I'm afraid, but I only ate there the once so can't really comment on the food otherwise.
The location of Sita is PERFECT - right on the ghats close to all the activity. The rooftop area is also great for viewing. Pantachey was very helpful in ALL aspects and I would like to say thank yiu! WiFi excellent.

United Arab EmiratesHotel Sita Palace On Heritage Ghats Of Benaras is definitely not a three-star hotel for the kind of service and facilities it has. The rooms and beds were clean but the bathroom was passable with a dirty bathtub. Breakfast is served hot and fresh but only after 8:30am. So if plan to go out before 8:30am, do not expect to get your breakfast. For that amount of money, I would definitely like to stay in a better hotel.
Hotel Sita Palace On Heritage Ghats Of Benaras has an excellent location, i.e., right on the ghats. It was around 500m from Dashvamedha Ghat which was convenient for evening arti, visiting the Kashi temple and the market and restaurants. It was around 1.5km from Assi Ghat and we were able to walk there for Subah-E-Banars (morning arti). The staff, including manager Pandey ji and the boys, were all helpful and gave us all the useful information about the nearby places to see and eat.

SloveniaWater sometimes runs out and it is a bit inconvenient, otherwise the room is ok. Reception manager will sell you boat rides and other tours, but it will come at a premium. He said 1800rupees for a morning boat ride for two persons and in reality it costs 500rupees with a 100rupee tip. He will also overcharge for any taxi rides and airport pickup and dropoff and make up excuses.
Fantastic location and fantastic view. We met the owner and he is also very nice, polite and forecoming. Room is ok, a little bit outdated but the view makes up for that
