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...).

IndiaMy stay at this hostel was a truly pleasant experience. The property is very well maintained, with a strong emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. The staff deserves special mention for their warm hospitality and willingness to assist with even the smallest requests; they added a very personal touch to my stay. The hostel’s location in the heart of the city is ideal. Being so centrally situated made it easy to explore major attractions, access transportation, and enjoy the local atmosphere without any hassle. What sets this hostel apart, however, is its thoughtful concept of introducing Indian culture to travelers. From the design elements to the small cultural touches, the hostel creates an environment where guests can not only stay but also experience a slice of India in an authentic and engaging way. Overall, I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone seeking a clean, comfortable, and culturally enriching stay in the city. :)

JapanAlthough there were mosquito repellents, there were still many mosquitoes. I killed about twenty in three days. • There aren’t many shopping places within walking distance.
The price is cheap. • The staff are kind. • They explain the rules through WhatsApp, which is helpful. • There is a lobby available for guests to relax in. • There is a water dispenser, so I never had trouble with drinking water.

IndiaI don't really think there was much to not like.
I liked the fact that the hostel was in a great location. The staff was friendly and kind, and the beds were comfy. The room was big enough, and there was enough storage area in the locker. The outdoor and indoor sitting areas were very nice too.

IndiaBit far from the centre. Autos and taxis are not always easily available. There are no grocery shops or eateries in the immediate vicinity, so you will have to rely on the online delivery apps. Otherwise nothing to complain about!
I've stayed here multiple times. It reminds me of a hostel in Goa. Located in a neighborhood that is very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by greenery, it's got a lovely ambience! It's also not very far from the airport

IndiaThere could have been a bit more storage for travellers. The small lockers provided were just enough to keep one travel bag, with no space to keep ones dresses, especially if one is staying for more than one day.

IndiaA Hidden Gem in the Heart of the City – Locul Up Town I recently stayed at Locul Up Town and was genuinely impressed. From the moment I arrived, the experience was smooth, welcoming, and refreshingly comfortable. The hostel is incredibly spacious, giving you room to breathe – something that’s often hard to find in urban accommodations. The staff here are some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve encountered on my travels. Always ready with a smile, local tips, or a helping hand, they made sure I felt at home throughout my stay. The location is another huge plus. Nestled in a high-end, peaceful part of town, it’s surrounded by leafy lanes and elegant homes, with several parks within easy walking distance – perfect for a morning stroll or winding down after a day out. Connectivity is top-notch. The Wi-Fi is excellent and reliable, making it an ideal spot for remote work or travel planning. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained – ideal whether you're staying for a few nights or a few weeks. What truly makes Locul Up Town special is its diverse, mixed crowd. You'll meet working professionals from across India as well as travelers from around the world. It's a great place to connect, exchange stories, or just chill in good company. All in all, this place hits the sweet spot between comfort, community, and calm. Highly recommended for solo travelers, digital nomads, or anyone looking for a quality stay in a lovely part of the city.

United KingdomI only stayed here because it was close to the airport and it was literally to get a few hits sleep before a very early morning start so it would be unfair if me to comment on location. The dorm was very basic but it was clean. as was the washroom. Comfortable beds. What really stood out was the very helpful person on night duty.
