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...).

India1. You need to sign-up on goStops app on phone to use digital key to your room. 2. You need to pay per kitchen order in the app, charges are not aggregated for you to pay at checkout. 3. For forest view north facing rooms, surrounding forest does not leave any space for distant hill views, note that these room's windows open in common balcony/lobby that is used as entry route for all room clusters on first floor, and even though there are cameras everywhere, other guests roaming over the balcony for phone calls or smoke will hinder your view and may make you uncomfortable and forced to draw the shades, specially at nights. 4. Breakfast quantity is good, quality is fine, not great, we had consistent coordination issues with kitchen staff asking for tea without sugar, you cannot order from outside as well. 5. Common sitting areas are very close to rooms and one night we faced issues with some folks having a disturbingly loud good time for most part of that night. 6. Smoking is allowed in common areas, and due to proximity from rooms, we had to close our windows a couple times to stop the smoke coming in. 7. There is no television in rooms. 8. Mobile network reception is very bad for major carriers, almost unusable on ground floor rooms.
1. The location is very easy to commute to/from and centrally well-placed from all attractions. 2. There is a new car parking space attached to property compound under cctv monitoring for 7-8 cars easily, bike/scooty parking is inside property compound. 3. There is a common amphitheater with a projector, table tennis table, and seating arrangements. 4. Kitchen is open 24x7, orders are taken via goStops app, basic breakfast/lunch/dinner variety is covered. 5. Property manager was friendly and informative. 6. Property is ground+1 floors surrounded by thick forest greenery, first floor north facing rooms have wide forest viewing windows. 7. Property has decent wifi connectivity. 8. Basic cleanliness and ambience was quite welcoming.

IndiaThe cleanliness in the 8 beds dormitory needs to be looked upon.
The cleanliness in the room assigned to us on the first day was awesome (6 beds dormitory) but the other room (8 beds dormitory) was not so good, the extra space to keep phones/wallets, etc was broken.

United Kingdom- no hot water - the other members of staff were rude and inconsiderate ( one of them sat outside our room singing and playing guitar all day everyday ) - quite far from town - air conditioning made the room very damp - room is too light because the outside lights are always on beaming into the room - tried to organise sight seeing with them and the driver was an hour and 1/2 late
- there was one member of staff that was really nice - it was very quiet - food was cheap and good - good wifi - nice dogs on site

IndiaThe network connectivity for sim cards is low and the wifi here is web page authentication enabled. If you are working in any organisation that doesn't let you connect to third party websites you won't be able to work.
The hostel had friendly staff and people around and the property was well maintained. They also have a routemap of things that could be done as all go stops do and kudos to whoever cameup with that idea. They also organise Jeep rides to mandalpatti which saves us the effort of finding a jeep especially when its season.
