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.).

NetherlandsNot all staff understand English that well, which makes communicating sometimes a bit difficult.
The best thing of the hotel is the private access to the Ganga. The private ghat is just perfect. Rooms are clean with a comfy bed. View of the Ganga is very nice to have, staff is friendly and accomodating.

United KingdomThe food was poor, the restaurant service worse. You would ask for a drink eg coke and they would bring a can but no glass. None of the restaurant staff smiled.
Loved the location. Much quieter and on a beautiful spot by the river. The private ghat was perfect. It made going for a ‘dip’ so easy. It was a 2 km walk along a lovely walkway by the river to one of the larger ghat yo watch the Aarti. The reception staff were friendly & helpful Netflix to watch on tv was a bonus. Room was ok and bathroom fine.

New ZealandWhile the hotel offers good amenities for guests, I strongly advise all foreigners or anyone hiring rental cars with drivers to avoid booking this hotel. Unlike most establishments in India, this hotel shows no courtesy or decency toward drivers. Despite charging hefty amounts for their services, they fail to provide even basic food or accommodation for the drivers accompanying their guests. This practice of taking care of drivers is a well-established tradition across India, even in hotels with prices 10 times lower than this one. It’s shameful and highly inconsiderate for such a high-end hotel to disregard this. If you value kindness and hospitality, look elsewhere.

United KingdomRooms need updating. This did appear to be happening in the rooms around me. Which meant I had to endure the strong smell of paint inc varnish and gloss and noise of hammering. I probably should have complained but was out most of the day. The breakfast is pretty poor generally. Although a great location for the view, it’s quite far out of the centre and main parts of Rishīkesh.
Lovely peaceful location with views of the Ganges and mountains. Front of house were great. Overall the hotel had a lovely feel to it and I enjoyed the atmosphere.
