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 reviewI have stayed at hundreds of hotels and resorts around the world and believe it or not, Dwarika’s is my favorite, one of the best! I love the combination of authentic Himalayan style and decor, lush plant life, and modern touches. I feel like royalty staying at this peaceful oasis in the city. It is truly a magical sanctuary, you don’t feel like you are in the middle of the city. The food is outstanding, truly excellent, and the service is top-notch. I love that the rooms come stocked with fruit, snacks, and gourmet tea. Staying here is a must have experience!
Everything was perfect

Verified reviewPremium hotel that maintains Nepalese historical architecture. Excellent food in the 3 restaurants. The staff was very kind. The spa is fantastic. The place is very quiet and the suite where we stayed was beautiful and comfortable.
There wasn't much to dislike. We couldn't figure out how the curtains/ blackout worked.

Verified reviewI really liked the general calm atmosphere in the middle of a hectic city. Toiletries were very nice as well, massage was excellent.
Shampoo bottles need to be fixed because now they need to be opened fully to use the shampoo (little thing).

Verified reviewWe celebrated our 15-year anniversary at The Dwarika's Hotel in Nepal, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The hospitality and service exceeded our expectations in every way. A special thank you to Adyut Neupane in the restaurant, whose service was above and beyond—attentive, thoughtful, and always had a touch of welcome and warm. We also want to recognize Ram Gajurel, one of the managers, who personally ensured we were well looked after. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was the daily yoga sessions offered at the hotel. Practicing yoga in such a serene and sacred setting felt like reconnecting to our roots—truly grounding and revitalizing. We are deeply grateful for the experience and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious, soulful, and culturally rich stay in Kathmandu. The hotel made our 15-year anniversary truly unforgettable with exceptional service, attention to detail, and a peaceful, luxurious atmosphere.
Honestly, there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. If anything, we just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what the hotel had to offer.

Verified reviewWonderful room, relaxing and great nights’ sleep after high altitude hiking. Staff delightful, we were very well looked after and felt at home. Glorious courtyards gardens are an oasis in a busy city, flowering trees, pots of seasonal blooms, scented climbers, birds. Arranged a guide to take us to Patan - excellent. Also arranged hotel transport from and to the airport.
We’re not used to smoking these days whilst dining - but staff were very helpful getting us outside tables away from a group of smokers. No smoking is allowed dining inside. The courtyard dining is a lovely area!

Verified reviewThe staff is friendly and helpful. My luggage was delayed in Dubai and the staff followed up to ensure it was transferred on the next flight and delivered to the hotel prior to my departure the following day. It was my 5th stay at the hotel and the only place I stay when in Kathmandu.

Verified reviewAuthentic design. Nice food (excluding Japanese). Good stuff. Highly recommended female spa master.
Soundproofing. To be honest, there is no soundproofing in the hotel rooms at all. Wooden windows don’t block any noise from the street. We changed 3 rooms treated to find quiet but everywhere experienced discomfort with sounds that came from outside.

Verified reviewA very warm welcome to an oasis of calm and peace in the bustling city. Walking distance to the centre to Durban Square (though taxis available), and very near the sacred site by the river. Staff always helpful - room absolutely wonderful! Gardens glorious and we enjoyed sitting outside for drinks and meals.
