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.).

Verified reviewStaff was very cordial, happy to help, nice people!! They were very considerate that I was on my bike, let me park inside the property premises for security, prompt on FnB orders or to help sort out wifi issues. But that's the end of the good things.
It felt like the property hasn't been maintained since it opened. Stained linen, scaled plumbing, furnishings falling apart on you..... My shelf near the bed couldn't even hold a phone without falling out of the wall...my bunk mate's fan grill opened and fell on him...common area linen SO STAINED. The whole property is infested with lizards... Taps out of order..... A mess, basically. To add to all of this, there was some persistent issue with power cuts in the block, AND THERE'S NO POWER BACKUP..... I was there for a night to rest in between two legs of my biking trip, but there was no rest.... Power cut off every 20-30 mins for 10-15 mins.... I've stayed at multiple gostops properties, but this has been a rather disappointing experience. I didn't know when I booked a gostops LITE property, they meant LITE comfort and hygiene.

Verified reviewI really like the location & the security. Room size was ok but go for the biggest room that is fantastic. it's open 24*7 and hygiene as well. You will get a decent common room with AC and TV. You can sit in balcony and chit chat. I didn't take much pictures of inside 🥲 Loved it
Food prices were on the higher side, the room i booked was too compact. Terrace was not clean.

Verified reviewThe good 🙂 I got a bed and an ensuite shower The bad 😐 Overprized The ugly ☹️ No smooth check in, passport has been taken and left alone and unattended in an area where monkeys had access 😱 ☹️ No key was given to me upon check in, so when leaving the room to get my passport back, I couldn't enter again (receptionist disappeared in the meantime) ☹️ "Things" I should wait for to be done in 10 minutes after arrival and for check in ... don't know, what things and after waiting a few times 10 minutes, still nothing the whole afternoon. Time wasted for nothing. ☹️ hours after "check in", finally an english speaking employee knocked my door. I was told, to download the gostops app that also works as your room key. ☹️ I really dislike to be obliged doing something (here: downloading an app with any authorizations I will never use after)

Verified reviewI had the most wonderful stay at gostop Varanasi! The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the staff made me feel right at home. The location couldn’t be better – it’s just a short walk away from the major tourist attractions and the beautiful temples, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the vibe here is perfect for meeting fellow travelers. I truly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Varanasi!
