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.).

IndiaFantastic Stay at Explore Hostel Life, Jaisalmer! I recently stayed at Explore Hostel Life in Jaisalmer, and it was an incredible experience. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the golden city, just a short walk from Jaisalmer Fort and other major attractions. It’s ideal for backpackers and travelers who want to soak in the rich history and culture of Rajasthan. The hostel itself is clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed with traditional Rajasthani décor, which adds to the overall charm. The rooms were comfortable, with cozy beds and air conditioning, ensuring a good night’s sleep even in the desert heat. What really stood out to me was the hospitality of the staff. They were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, offering great tips on local sightseeing and even organizing desert tours and camel safaris at reasonable prices. The rooftop terrace is another highlight, offering a stunning view of the city, especially at sunset. It’s a perfect place to relax, meet fellow travelers, or enjoy some local cuisine.

IndiaWe arrived at Explore Hostel Jaisalmer around 6 AM and made a last-minute decision to stay. My friends and I were feeling unwell, and the receptionist was incredibly kind, offering us a room to rest in until our dorm was ready later in the day. The service was excellent, the place was great, and the location is perfect. He even went out of his way to show us to the bus stand. Highly recommended!

United StatesI am delighted to share my exceptional experience with the stay I recently received. This place is great. Amit, the main guy. He knows some English and will make sure your stay goes well. His family is welcoming. It’s easy access to the town. There’s a rooftop to sit on. The beds are cute. It has all that you need here. The staff's dedication to providing outstanding service is evident in every aspect. If you're looking for a hotel that truly understands the meaning of hospitality, look no further. Rating: 5/5 stars

The property has an amazing rooftop with an unreal up-close view of the fort. The rooftop is a super nice place to hang out, drink chai, enjoy the sunset and chill with friends. The owner Amit is very nice and friendly, he helped us with travelling around the city, and was always looking out for us. The restaurant has really great food and the chef Balam was super nice and generous, and was always making sure i wasn’t hungry! The hostel is family-run and has a great vibe. ☀️🌻
