How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Honestly, there wasn’t much to dislike. My stay was smooth and comfortable. If I had to mention something, maybe just a little improvement in [electricity], but it didn’t affect my experience much. The overall atmosphere and hospitality more than made up for it.💯🙌🏻
Everything! The property was clean, calm, and beautifully maintained. The rooms were neat and comfortable, with a homely touch that made the stay extra special. What really stood out was the hospitality — the owner was extremely polite, helpful, and made sure every guest felt welcome. It’s rare to find such warmth and cleanliness in one place. Truly felt like a home away from home.🩵🙌🏻👏

If you're looking for the perfect backpacker's haven in Guwahati, look no further than Zion Backpackers Hostel. I’ve stayed here twice in the last 10 days, and it has completely won me over. This place is a gem for travelers from all corners of the world, and it’s hands down the best hostel in Guwahati. The Hosts: The heart and soul of this place are the incredible people who run it. Joshua, the owner, is a seasoned traveler from Nasik, and his wife Mili, who hails from Mizoram, adds so much warmth to the place. The staff, Brandon from Shillong and Jethin from Andhra Pradesh, are fantastic and make you feel right at home. Together, they form a dream team that ensures every guest has a memorable stay. The Space: Zion Backpackers Hostel is thoughtfully designed to cater to all your needs. Here’s what you can expect: - Accommodation: - Two mixed dorms with 8 bunk beds each (AC and non-AC options). - One AC room with 4 single beds. - Common Areas: - A cozy lounge area that doubles as the reception. - A semi-open seating area at the entrance, adjacent to the parking space, which serves as a working and dining area. Perfect for chilling, working, or enjoying a meal. - Parking: A big parking space for those traveling with their own vehicles. - Courtyard: A lovely outdoor space to relax and connect with fellow travelers. Location: The hostel is conveniently located: - Just 300 meters from Centro Mall– great for shopping and dining. - 4.5 km from Guwahati Railway Station – easy to reach. - 14 km from ISBT – ideal for those traveling by bus. - 35 km from Gauhati Airport– a bit farther, but worth the journey. Why I Love It: The vibe here is unbeatable. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a digital nomad, or just passing through, Zion Backpackers Hostel offers a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need, and the facilities are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.

"I had an exceptional stay at Zion Backpackers Hostel in Guwahati. The property offers ample space with great connectivity to major roads and the added convenience of a kitchen. Indoor parking is available for a few four-wheelers. The manager, Jatin, was amazing and made the experience truly memorable. The vibe is really good, and I felt at home, blending in with everyone on the first day itself—much better than other hostels I've experienced. The location is also great, with everything available within walking distance. I highly recommend this place for all travelers seeking a cozy and value-for-money stay in Guwahati."
