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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

ChinaI wish the bathroom had a fan.
I loved the proximity to Assi Ghat. The area around Assi Ghat is also more relaxed and chill than the main tourist areas which can be very stressful. I did yoga on the rooftop and met other travelers. Navi (manager) was extremely helpful in helping me book a ticket to my next destination, recommending local spots, and helping with everything I needed. He was proactive in contacting me through booking.com and making sure he knew what time I would arrive, and then kindly waited for me, even though I arrived quite late at night.

Banaras guest house is an excellent place to spend a few days in Varanasi. It’s located really close to the river, in Assi ghat area. The owners, Krishna and his brother, are really nice and helpful. They made our stay unforgettable!

SwitzerlandThe traffic noise (honking) is far away, but you can still here it, at least if your room is on the upper floors. Nothing good earplugs can’t cure, though. Think about it if noise sensitive!
Good location, big room, comfy beds, clean, hot water, welcoming hosts, AC works very well, no mosquitoes. The breakfast on the terrace is a good moment to meet other travellers!

United KingdomWe really enjoyed our stay here. Great facilities and location for where we wanted to go. Nice array of choices for breakfast including omelette, toast and fruit. The room was tidy and clean and of good standard. We loved the roof top aspect and it was lovely with the sun rising in the mornings and for yoga, so relaxing. They organise a boat trip for a reasonable price too which we had a laugh on ( please see photos) and provide airport pick up for an additional cost.. We met so many great travellers who we have now formed an amazing friendship with. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and our stay so fun Naveen and family. Exceptional host :)

Had a great time with the brothers. They really go the extra mile way for their guests. My room was large, quiet and clean with shower. No noise in my room. At the end of a tiring but inspiring day in Varanasi so nice to sit on roof top with a cold Kingfisher. Thank you bros and thank breakfast uncle.

FranceGood place for Varanasi, but because of Maha Kumbh and poor management they told me on the same day I was arriving that my booking was canceled… imagine after a very very long journey… so unprofessional. In the end they offered me a place to sleep on the floor because all accommodations were full in Varanasi. One week later I booked again and their prices had increased from 850(10$) to 1350 (16$)… I know that was Maha Kumbh but it’s not professional…
