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 reviewBathroom was way too small. Shower got the whole room wet when turned on. Entire place stunk of incense because they were burning it in the lobby. Very little soaps provided, despite staying multiple days. Toilet paper was provided instead of tissues. I had a view from windows of the street, when I booked a balcony with mountain view. 4 floors high and no elevator.
thank you chose our hotel , Burning incense is a common practice in Nepal, very sad you don't like it . We have a rooftop garden where you can see the snow-capped mountains. It’s a rooftop balcony. Maybe you misunderstood. I’m sorry.

Verified reviewI had a wonderful stay at Hotel Darwin in Kathmandu. What I loved most was the homely atmosphere – it felt like a perfect blend of an apartment and a hotel. Despite being close to Thamel, the hotel provided a peaceful place. The rooftop was a highlight, offering wonderful views. Starting my mornings with a delicious cappuccino and breakfast was a nice experience. The tranquility of the place made it a perfect haven. Moreover, the staff were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and lovely throughout my stay. Highly recommended for a memorable Kathmandu experience.
Many places around the area tend to close early in the evening. Therefore, I recommend having an early dinner in the neighborhood or elsewhere such as Thamel.
thank you so much , we are so happy hear you like our place . please welcome back again ! now we have kitchen , have chinese food .please welcome

Verified reviewThe warm touch of decorations made me feel home and the owner was quick to respond to my requests. The family rooms are facing the roads and are brighter and spacious. For the price, it's decent!
The showerhead in the bathroom wasn't working well, with thin streaks of water shooting in all directions. There was also no proper ventilation system in the bathroom, so it smelled a bit. All the plants in the room are plastic and they are quite dusty. Wished they were real plants!

Verified reviewThe room is so cozy, well decorated and so comfortable bed. Bathroom is also nice. Is not located in the City center but you can walk there 20 minutes. Staff are friendly. There is an ATM just next to the door.
I was in an outside single room and it was really noisy because of the place is located in a main road with a lot of traffic even in the night, so you have to use earplugs, there are also double rooms that don't face the main road. The room smelled to tobacco a lot! I told them and I hope they give a solution.

Verified reviewThe staff is very friendly and even asked on which floor I wanted to stay. I think it's a family run business and the place feels like it. The location is great - directly next to the busy Tamel area, but not directly in it. The hotel has a nice roof terrace. I arrived in the evening and the staff offered to order food for me which was super nice and convinient.
I stayed at the 3. floor because I thought I'll have a nice view- turned out a) that my window faced a wall and b) that the kitchen is on 4th floor and that it's a bit noisy.
Thank you annika for choosing to stay with us in Darwin! First of all, I am sorry that the work in the kitchen in the morning disturbed your rest!There is a garden on the roof of our building. You can see the scenery of Kathmandu and the monkey temple. It's a pity you didn't notice it. Otherwise, you can stay in the hotel and you can see the beautiful sunset.
