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.).

BangladeshEverything was good. Very convenient location. You can find everything else nearby at walking distance in Thamel. The reception staff was very helpful with information. We had our bus at 7 am so they packed our breakfast. That was so helpful. Even though the breakfast foods could have been a bit better maybe, but it was okay.

AustraliaI would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Hotel Buddha in Kathmandu for providing an exceptional experience for my parents. From the moment they arrived, the warmth and hospitality they received exceeded all expectations. The property itself was immaculate – spacious, comfortable, and serene – creating an environment that felt like a true home away from home. What truly stood out, however, was the kindness and genuine care shown by the owner and the staff. They treated my parents like cherished family members, going above and beyond to ensure their comfort. Not only did they offer thoughtful gestures, such as generous discounts on both food and accommodation, but they also made my parents feel incredibly special throughout their entire stay. Their attentive and respectful service left an indelible mark on my parents’ hearts. My parents, who have traveled widely, were so impressed with the quality of the rooms, the facilities, and the overall hospitality that they personally requested me to rate the hotel a 10-star experience. They spoke of the kindness, professionalism, and respect they received from the entire team, and how the hotel’s family-like atmosphere made them feel incredibly welcome and cared for. It was clear that the staff genuinely values their guests, and this personal touch made all the difference. On behalf of my entire family, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the owner and every single staff member at Hotel Buddha. You made my parents' stay a truly memorable one, and for that, we are immensely grateful. The respect and care shown to them went beyond just hospitality; it created an emotional connection that we will always cherish. We are looking forward to returning, as this will undoubtedly be our home in Kathmandu whenever we visit. Thank you for everything, and for making my parents’ experience so wonderful. We will forever remember your kindness and hospitality.

AustraliaNot much worth mentioning
I had quite a long stay (3 weeks). The hotel is not that remarkable in itself as it is a little older than some but what it lacks in modern architecture it makes up for in the friendliness, helpfulness and genuine care shown by the staff. I felt I was in good hands the whole time and they went out of their way to make my stay pleasant and safe. I was not well when I arrived and they found me a local doctor; they guided me to places I would not ordinarily have visited and I enjoyed once in a lifetime experiences that were 'priceless'. I have no hesitation in recommending a stay at the Buddha they made me feel very special...and ask about their other 'secret' businesses, worth the adventure.
