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.).

NetherlandsJust a suggestion to create some more shade at and in the pool. Just some large plants around the pool for example.
Staff was super friendly and good at their job, did what they could to make us comfortable! The restaurant serves excellent meals, breakfast is top. Crew, Dika for example, does a great job there. Everywhere you go in the lobby, at the pool or in the restaurant, they’ll bring you a nice bottle of filtered water! Often they served something extra, such as nice bruschetta with a drink at the pool! Or a peanut salad as an appetiser. Great! Special note for the jungle guide Rajendra Chauchary and colleagues: super experience with the jungle walk, canoo tour and jeep ride, spotted so many birds, deer and rhinos… Very knowledgeable, affordable and friendly. We can really recommend him and his colleague!

NorwayThe quality of the construction work on the building is letting them down a bit. It looks a bit badly done a few places.
Excellent hotel. Staff was absolutely amazing and the food was delicious! We are there twice a day and everything we had was amazing. The service was impeccable. Rooms were comfortable and clean. They had a tour desk in the hotel, where you could book activities. We didn’t get to use the garden much because it the weather while we were there, but it looked gorgeous.

AustraliaThis was a lovely, quiet clean hotel to rest in after our day of safari. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and communicated well with us about our pick up when our flight was delayed. Bed was comfy. Buffet breakfast had good variety and the coffee was good. We ate one evening at the hotel and were impressed with food options and quality.

BelgiumSuper friendly staff making real effort seeing guests are comfortable during their entire stay. The hotel is located on just 10-15 min walking distance from the touristic center of Sauraha. They offer a convenient and free shuttle services from and to the main touristic bus stops connecting Chitwan to other touristic hubs in Nepal. The hotel offers facilities such as a swimming pool, garden bar, a gym, table tennis and badminton for guests to enjoy. We enjoyed the breakfast service. Price/quality ratio is excellent, we highly recommend this place to discover beautiful Chitwan National Park!

United KingdomAmazing hotel, and totally worth the price - had the loveliest big room with a balcony on one of the top floors, nice design, everything comfy, clean and as advertised. Not many other guests when I was staying over, so felt very private. Staff were great, very attentive but not overbearing. Pretty landscaped grounds. Great breakfast. Airport transfer was also included. Hotel has their own guide who can help with various excursions / lead you on the walks, etc.

We had a fantastic time with Raj our guide - full day jeep safari, river canoe and walk. Raj is very knowledgeable and experienced.

NetherlandsFor us it was perfect. Ofcourse a hotel cannot be flawless. It depends on your standards what you experience. We found it a bit funny to find a light weight plastic toiletseat in luxury hotel. But it seems toilet seats are like that in most hotels in Nepal. The bidet shower was not working because of low water pressure. The normal shower worked fine and consist of a rainshower and handshower. Please disregard any minor issue. This hotel is great for a short or long stay and gives you a great experience in Nepal.
The Aikawa staff is key to the **** experience. Reception, cleaning staf, people in the restaurant, drivers and the house naturist. We can say they are warm, attentive, proffesionals, simply fantastic. We hope management can see and values these people who are working long shifts and being very loyal as the key asset. Hotel is modern and well equiped. A wonderfull garden The restaurant is good and has enough different choices. Rooms are clean with nice interiors. Toiletteries are durable and you recieve a lot. We loved the trips and the fact you could make the arrangements in the hotel. Whatever you request they make it happen. When you are out in town and want to return they send someone to pick you up. Communication is always friendly and swift. By Whatsapp you can ask whatever you want and receive a reaction very quickly. We stayed 3 nights. We booked the day jeep tour, canou trip and jungle walk. We saw a lot of wildlife thanks to the fantastic hotel guide and driver.. We enjoyed several meals. The hotel arranged also our transfer back to Kathmandu. Everything was tip top. .

United StatesHonestly, we did not have any bad experiences during our stay!
Everything!!! Please do not pass up this hotel because you will absolutely be missing out on an amazing experience! This was the best place I have ever stayed at, even better than any hotel in the United States! The staff is absolutely amazing and friendly! Prior to our arrival, the hotel staff were in contact with us about what time our bus would arrive. The hotel sent a very nice private vehicle to pick us up from the bus park, and we were welcomed with flowers and fresh watermelon juice as we checked in comfortably in their beautiful lounge area! The hotel has their own services for activities to do in Chitwan and their own personal tour guide. The prices they offered were much better than anything we had found online! You can choose as many or as little activities you want to do. Their personal tour guide, Raj, is the friendliest and most knowledgeable person, you must meet him! He took us on a sunset walk on the day of our arrival for free, and we were lucky to see many animals including a rhino! We chose to participate in a canoe ride, jungle walk, and jeep safari through Chitwan National Park! All of which were so beautiful, fun, and packed with adventure! The facilities at Hotel Aikawa are unbeaten! After a long day of adventure, it was so nice to return to a beautiful room with working A/C, fresh water, complimentary cookies, and a beautiful shower with both a rainfall shower head and detachable shower head! There is a stunning outside area that includes a pool (with a kiddie pool attached), ping pong table, volleyball court, campfire, and outdoor seating area for dinner! We had dinner by the campfire and the food and the vibes were amazing! Speaking of food, breakfast is included and so good with a vast array of options, along with the lunch and dinner menus! Something unique we discovered which adds to the long list of positives is you can get any coffee/tea from their coffee shop for free during breakfast!

AustraliaThis is a luxury hotel at an affordable price. The decor and fixtures and fittings are stylish and modern. The shower was the best! All staff were all so friendly and helpful. We were looked after so well. Milan at the front desk made sure our holiday went smoothly and was very attentive to all our needs. The breakfast was delicious with excellent coffees. We also ate dinner and lunch here and all the food we ate was delicious and reasonably priced too. We did 3 excellent trips with Raj our very knowledgeable safari guide - a walking safari, a canoe trip and a jeep safari. Due to Raj’s knowledge and patience we got to see a wild rhino up close! All the staff made us feel like family and nothing was too much trouble. We were sad to leave. Milan arranged private transport for us to Bhaktapur and it’s a long drive but the driver was very professional and safe. Highly recommend everything about this hotel! It was even an easy 10 min walk to Main St and the sunset viewing platform in town.
