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 (Sunny) is super friendly and accommodating.
Hot water runs on solar and needs to be informed to the staff to be turned on when one needs a shower. Unfortunately there was not much sun due to monsoon and I could not take hot showers

Verified reviewWe really liked the staff, Sunny and Suneshi were really polite and helpful, with good communication and advice. The breakfast was really good too and we liked the common area/restaurant. It's good value for money in a good location.
the only issue is with the shower, that when you need to use it you have to ask the staff to turn it on which you might not want to do at night or early in the morning.

Verified reviewBest Hostel truly lives up to its name! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff goes above and beyond to help, and the rooms are spotless and comfortable. The location is also great—close to everything but still peaceful at night. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kathmandu! The host even offers free luggage storage when I'm hiking for 2 weeks!

Verified reviewThe place radiates warmth and positive energy, making it the perfect escape. The rooms are spacious, and the vibe is both relaxing and rejuvenating. What truly sets this place apart is the restaurant—every dish I tried was exceptional, meeting Western standards in both taste and presentation. Over my 10-day stay, I explored the menu extensively, and it consistently exceeded expectations. The staff embodies hospitality at its finest, with a special mention for Santoshi. She is the heart and soul of the place—her warmth, enthusiasm, and vibrant energy create an atmosphere that feels like home. I originally planned to stay for three days but found myself so drawn to the good vibes and genuine care that I couldn’t resist extending my stay. It’s a place you won’t want to leave.
Bathrooms are sharing and can be a little bit more cleaner
