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 review★★★★★ A Perfect Stay in Kathmandu – Exceptional Hospitality & Comfort! Our stay at Elbrus Home was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Khem, the manager, and the entire team were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The hostel itself has great facilities, and our room was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the delicious continental breakfast—a great way to start the day! The location is ideal—close enough to Thamel for convenience, yet tucked away in a peaceful and quiet area, giving us the best of both worlds. Our only regret is that we couldn’t go on a trek with LB, the in-house guide, who was so kind and knowledgeable—next time for sure! If you’re looking for a homely, well-run hostel with warm hospitality in Kathmandu, Elbrus Home is the place to stay. Thank you, Khem and team, for such a memorable experience—we’ll definitely be back!

Verified reviewElbrus home is fantastic. This was our second stay and I would highly recommend! The beds are comfortable, the shower is hot with good pressure and it's great having breakfast in the morning. It is also super close to Thamel.
The only con is very slow spotty internet. We stayed in the second building this time and the wifi could be improved.

Verified reviewWe LOVED our time staying in Elbrus Home. During our 3 month stay in Nepal, we stayed here multiple times in between treks, or visiting various parts of the country. It felt like our home away from home. Incredible value with a great breakfast every morning. Super quiet rooms and comfortable bed. Only 2 minute walk to Thamel. And an amazing restaurant next door (Panas Cafe - great local food at amazing prices). Nice outdoor seating/common area. Free luggage storage was super helpful too. We will 100% stay here again the next time we are visiting Nepal. Thank you!
Everything was great.
