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 reviewInitially booked for just one night but ended up extending my stay for a few more! Perfectly located in the heart of the heritage area, just steps away from Bhaktapur Durbar Square and within walking distance to most iconic sights. The staff and owners are incredibly friendly, super attentive and informative, making it a warm and comfortable place to relax and recharge. The rooftop restaurant is a gem, offering seasonal views over the Kathmandu Valley. I spent every morning after the complimentary home-cooked breakfast just soaking in the peaceful rooftop atmosphere:)
Not a big deal but space to improve for the bathroom:)

Verified reviewVery clean, tidy hotel with amazing breakfast on the rooftop. Comfortable bed, new amenities. Very modern bathroom and strong hot shower. Top Location. The owner Sulav is beyond helpful, friendly and kind. I had an issue with the wifi, I got offered another room immediately. I had an issue with my credit card for the payment. He went to the bank with me to fix it. Never something like this happened. I can highly recommend this hotel!
Thank you so much for your review… hope to see you again in our hotel.

Verified reviewExcellent location right next to the square, large room, a bit outdated, reasonable bed, no dark curtains in the room, if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, it is advisable to prepare an eye mask, the room is flooded with light in the morning. At this price, good value, don't have too high expectations from the room...

Verified reviewThe breakfast was adequate though I had to wait 30-45 minutes on occasion.
I think the place could have been run with more attention to a few little things, like cleaning out flower pots with cigarette butts in them. There are a few more examples but they escape me after a grueling flight over the Pacific.

Verified reviewThe room was great. Comfy bed and amazing shower. However, when we arrived by taxi, we were followed by a man on a motorbike who demanded we paid 1,800 each for the entrance fee to Bhakatpur. This was a surprise to us and not a very good first impression. It would have been nice to be told about this entrance fee before we arrived so we weren’t greeted by an angry man and forced to pay a lot of money that we weren’t expecting. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe they could inform guests about this extra payment before they arrive. Also, the free breakfast was really small and we ended up going out and buying breakfast every day after eating it. Other than that, the hotel was really good.
