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.).

GermanyAnkit was an amazingly welcoming host! My partner and I enjoyed our time at Soul‘Stay a lot. We slept well in our room with a comfortable bed, airy with a ventilator and an AC, a good bathroom and windows protected against mosquitoes. After our early morning at Taj Mahal, Ankit made a fresh smoothy bowl with nuts and granola for us (a list of breakfast options against a small charge provided). Exceptional was that we were also able to participate in a mediation / sound bath session facilitated by Ankit. He also gave us good recommendations for restaurants/bars, specifically The Molecule, an open air rooftop bar with good Indian food.

United KingdomThat we were only able to stay for one night!
Ankit & Lahar are such friendly, open and generous hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and getting to know them and the other guests over cups of tea. Ankit & Lehar gave us good local recommendations and even went out of their way to provide an amazing sound bath for all of us that were staying. We would strongly recommend staying at Soul’Stay instead of one of the many chain hotels in the area if you are looking for an intimate and spiritual experience. Our bedroom was very comfortable and even had its own balcony. The breakfast was also delicious, make sure to have Lahar’s cheelas and banana pancakes!

SpainAnkit and Lahar were amazing hosts and really made us feel at home! We loved how welcoming they were and the great atmosphere of the house (the decoration is beautiful). We totally enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it. Our visit to Agra became not just about the Taj Mahal, but about connecting with other people and sharing experiences. Guys, keep doing it the way you are doing it!! Wishing you the best of luck in this journey. We will follow your steps. Hope to see you soon 😊

Soul'Stay is a true homestay. Our hosts Laher and Ankit welcomed us with warmth and affection. The rooms are spotless, the living room area with couches and bookshelf a calm place to contemplate, communicate and to wind down from the constant input of impressions. I hope one day we will be back, in the meantime we will spread the word. All the best to you.

SwedenI loved everything but I have a little recommendation for improvement: As there is no regular yoga classes etc. maybe the work retreat center can be a little confusing/misleading. I didn’t mind as I wasn’t well when I visited but I think I would have expected some practices. It was all perfect the way it was tho 🪷🙏🏽
We loved EVERYTHING about it! The hosts are the kindest people, super social, easy going and open minded. We felt welcome and looked after straight away. The rooms are all super esthetic and clean. Probably one of the prettiest home stays we have seen in India so far. Long story short: You will not regret booking this place, you feel right away at home ♥️

United StatesOnce we felt the welcoming vibe of Soul'Stay shining through the photo on their online listing, we knew this was where we wanted to stay in Agra. Lahar & Ankit clearly have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a comfortable and nourishing space. In fact, after our morning visiting the Taj Mahal, we opted to cancel our afternoon sightseeing and spend the rest of the day resting and chatting with our hosts. They were both eager and willing to share our different -- and not so different -- cultures. They easily arranged for a masseuse to come to us. We also opted for the in-house mediation session led by Ankit. Besides providing us with information on the interesting options for our sightseeing in Agra, they told us about all their favorite places in Jaipur, our next stop. We not only enjoyed getting to know the other couple staying there, we were lucky enough to be there when Ankit's parents stopped by for a quick visit. Stop looking through the listings ... Soul'Stay is what you're looking for.

GermanyOur enchanting week at this Agra homestay, curated by spiritually attuned owners, was an experience beyond compare. Our room, adorned with a balcony, exuded a serene charm with meticulous arrangements that reflected a true sense of aesthetic beauty. The expansive common area, featuring another inviting balcony, served as a tranquil haven. The owners, embodying warmth and spirituality, graciously spent time engaging in meaningful conversations, fostering a sense of connection and belonging. Reliable WiFi added a modern touch to our retreat, seamlessly blending convenience with tranquility. The owners, going the extra mile, took us to a local gem for a special breakfast, providing a delightful taste of the region's flavors. Throughout our stay, their generosity extended to thoughtful gestures such as offering tea, coffee, and even sharing self-made meals, creating an atmosphere that felt like home away from home. This homestay is not just accommodation; it's a haven of spiritual enrichment and genuine hospitality.

United StatesThere are no negatives to staying here.
From the moment we stepped in to Soul'Stay we felt at peace. Lahar and Ankit are fabulous hosts, they attended to our every need. The first night they took us to Sadar Bazar for some amazing street food. They ordered their favorites and things they wanted us to try and we all stood around in the chaos sharing each small plate of Indian deliciousness. My friend and I gave up a half day of sightseeing to stay in the home and relax. They brought in a masseuse for me, we colored mandalas, and they made meals and even golden milk for us. It was a wonderful time staying at Soul'Stay. Their homestay is very close to Taj Mahal, it's very clean, they have filtered water to drink, the food is good, and the conversation is warm. I hope to return some day.
