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 KingdomWe had a great stay in a double room that opened on to the lovely terrace with brilliant views of surrounding Agra. Clean room with en suite, AC and everything we needed. Breakfast was decent, water, drinks and beers also available. The staff were very friendly and so helpful, especially when we had to get a late night bus to Varanasi but couldn’t work out where it left from. The staff helped negotiate with our taxi driver and found the right area on the map for us. Plus able to leave our bags in a locker all day even after we’d checked out! This was a big help. Great stay, thank you so much!

United KingdomThis family-run hostel was one of the nicest ones I’ve stayed in in India. My friend and I had such a lovely evening here, we were taken such good care of by staff, from food to local recommendations and interesting conversations. The room was also a lot more spacious and comfortable as the pictures suggest, would 100% return.

United StatesCould use some fresher linens and bed was a little stiff but it was fine for a few nights.
We stayed at the Taj Street Hostel for four nights and enjoyed our stay. The rooms are very basic, but it was great for its close proximity to the Taj and they serve food at the restaurant that we tried a couple times. The staff was super helpful and arranged Taj tickets, laundry, and Delhi transport for us.

The owner was very kind and helpful, answering to any query and they gave us a room ready as soon as we arrive, at 5am. Awesome! WiFi was very good. Tan Mahal was just 10 mins walking, so easy to reach by foot. Amazing terrace

Clean facilities. Kind and friendly staff and owner. They were helpful and also got us train tickets. Flexible check in time. Stay here if you are visiting the taj and support a local business! Super easy walk to the east gate of taj mahal

United KingdomBed was a little on the hard side. Not a criticism of the property itself, but because of its proximity to the Taj, in order to get a taxi or TukTuk you had to walk c. 10 mins to the East Gate parking lot.
EXTREMELY helpful staff (when our train from Varanasi was very delayed, they went out of their way to help us - organising a taxi to take us the 11-hour drive to Agra at 1am within 10-20mins and stayed on the line to make sure we connected with the driver, it was quite frankly nothing short of a miracle). On the property front - room was spacious, budget but equipped with everything you might need. Location was ideal, a 10 min walk to the Taj gate. On site food available, and could sort beer for us on request.
