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.).

IndiaI stayed in the private room. Must say the room was tidy and spacious. Host Dhananjay bhaiya and Roma di assisted and accompanied in every way possible. The team Om, Arpit bhai were helpful and polite. Food was very tasty and reasonable. Above all loved loved meeting their pets Dumdum and Luna. Very friendly and playful 🖤 Also an ideal and peaceful environment to work from mountains. Thank you and best wishes. Would love to visit again.

IndiaThe location is a bit uphill and no proper sign boards to reach the property! Even you won't find 'Young Monk Hostel' sign board on their small single entry gate, this was strange!
The owner is fantastic! He is helpful and will personally take care of your stay. We booked a room which was big and spacious. Clean and spacious bathroom!

IndiaYoung Monk Hostel has the most accommodating and helpful staff be it cleaning, management, and in-house kitchen staff, and great internet connectivity. The property is very clean and hygienic. The in-house cafe serves home-cooked food and has amazing taste (DJ bhai +1 here). The people managing the property make it an amazing experience. Place has its own homely vibe with a mountain view outside and a great ambiance inside. High-speed wifi if you are doing WFH. Thanks everyone for being amazing hosts. Will visit soon

IndiaI've seen a fair share of awesome hosts, but I don't think I have met anyone before who goes as overboard as sunny bhai. Sunny absolutely made sure that "vibe bana rahe". Also special mention to Vishal bhai from mars monkeys who kept us company. Gary and gang for the supreme holi party and more... Sibha and lallan for all the help and food... Also other individuals (nilay, Rishi, Subham... ) jinhone time spend kiya and mujhe idhar udhar ghumaaya... Man ye stay to core memory wala ho gaya! 20/10!! Milte hai kabhi Jibhi me sunny brooo.

IndiaYoung Monk is the best in town ... You will find many good hostels in Manali but the food here is the best, very delicious which you cannot find in Manali and reasonably priced. Rooms are tidy and maintained. High speed wifi if you are doing WFH. There are 2 friendly dogs as well luna and dumdum 🐾 they brighten up your stay a thousand times. Location is also good as it is near to every place but secluded from the road hustle bustle. The room was neat and clean, all in all this hostel was a very good experience.
