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 reviewThe host is incredibly kind and accommodating to the needs of guests. He was easily reachable on WhatsApp to be let into the house at check-in and for further needs during the stay. The house is located at the back of an alley and is near the airport by taxi if you ask for The White Monastery, located across the street. The room was large and had plenty of space and was comfortable most nights, though a fan is a good idea when the weather gets hot. The wall sockets are universal plug style so any electronics you bring can be used without an adapter. Bathroom and kitchen is shared but is generally well maintained and clean. The other guests during my stay were very helpful in their own right, the house really felt like a small community during my 2 weeks. Thanks for a great stay :-) I will be back the next time I'm in Kathmandu!

Verified reviewI like the most our host and his family - very friendly and ready to help with everything! I came late at night, almost at 12, and Lu was waiting for me till the end. The property also very close to Stupa and in isolated location.
We had very nice room. Cozy. Had lots of interesting details like dragons on the painting and on the wardrobe.

Verified reviewThe location is pretty decent.
I was traveling and had to work remotely. I specifically booked this property hoping that the internet connection would be better and safer than a hotel. However, i have had really hard time with the wifi connection. Also, the mobile service single inside the room was bad.

Verified reviewLocation is super)) Bad is comfy. Room mem sufficient space. Distance from a road.
1. NO solar or any hot water from the tape in bathroom.. Only one tape with cold water, 2. Very cold inside the room (12-14 February) - only 2 "view" - wall-view and fence view. 3, Bad smell in toilet and bathroom. 3. To get hot water for shower - one have at first to search the people managed this homestay - no reception, also they don`t show the place to find them for any immediate purpose ("we are homestay, not hotel!!!")Then they use water heater (not gas!) - and you have to wait near one hour to get hot water. I think it would be better to search for normal hotel with cheaper price for stay.
When you were there, we were having problems with it at the time. Now that we have hot water again. You didn’t mention about anything other than hot water, but I still give you a bucket of hot water. You can call my number, though, as we are a few rooms in a responsible price homestay and don’t t have reception. We strive to provide a good price in a popular location and gud clean comfy , thanking you drakon nest
