Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United Arab EmiratesWhen the Ganga is in full spate and flowing during the rainy season without boat services to the hotel, reaching the Hotel from anywhere becomes a challenge, what with walking through the crowded gullies and short rides by cycle rickshaws (lot of hard work for the rickshaw pullers).
Hotel and restaurant Staff and were extremely helpful; Notable mentions- M/s.Fahad; Ali; Rudresh; Hassim and Salabbar; Ms.Kushi at the reception was a gem of a person and needs to be recognized for her very helpful nature. Various programmes at the Hotel kept us entertained throughout the day

SpainStaying at this luxury hotel in Varanasi was truly a royal experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and outstanding hospitality: every detail was handled with great precision and elegance. The serene and refined atmosphere, combined with flawless service, made our stay unforgettable. We celebrated a friend’s birthday and were surprised by the staff with a beautifully prepared cake—an incredibly thoughtful and discreet gesture. The following day, we found a framed photo memory waiting for each of us in our rooms, a touching and symbolic reminder of the hotel’s exceptional care and attention. The cuisine of Chef Akhilesh was outstanding, featuring refined dishes and authentic flavors that beautifully captured the culinary spirit of India. We’d like to sincerely thank the entire staff for their professionalism and kindness throughout our stay, and especially mr Bhupesh Rai and mr Sahdeep for the extra care and special attention they gave us. A truly memorable experience that we’ll carry with us, and one we wholeheartedly recommend.

IndiaI think the only issue was the steep stairs from ghat to hotel entrance. Looking forward to a creative solution on that one
The highlight of the property is its service and location. The property is beautiful. It is right on the ghat so all the temples are in close proximity. The staff was exceptional - they made sure that my stay was super comfy and safe (travelled solo). Special shout out to Abhiliash, Cecilia, Akhilesh, Fahad, Umesh, Dharamraj and Sandeep. Yup long list, thats how good the ppl were

IndiaThe location is excellent! Close to ganga Arti and Kashi Vishwanath temple. The only thing is rooms and bathroom are REALLY small. And you feel clostorphobic. But it makes up by the warmth of staff and amazing hospitality. There was an issue with late check out. Hotel said they have no intimation from bookings.com but the front desk manager was too kind to accommodate. I highly recommend this property.
