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):
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.
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.).

AustriaThe workers at the reception were really kind and helpful in every regard. The rooms are nice, clean and I especially appreciate the big locker. The location in Thamel is great and the whole hostel has a nice style and good vibe. Again the best part, were definitely the workers at the hostel. I really enjoyed my time here and the flexibility (checking out at 5 a.m. wasn't an issue). Another big plus was the laundry. For 150 Rupies per kg (1 USD) you have your dry laundry back 24 hours later

AustraliaI hardly ate at the restaurant because I don't eat meat and I don't like being in an atmosphere where alcohol is being consumed,I also try to avoid wheat so the pastries which looked amaizing were not touched by me.
I loved it all...I had a very comfortable bed with a bed overlooking a tree and because it was monsoon the birds would come and shelter in the tree.

I can’t say enough good things about this hostel, when I became unwell they looked after me, drove me to hospital and always would check up on me to see if I needed anything afterwards. They were so kind and friendly, the reception staff were unbelievable, thanks for a great stay 🙌🏻

Amazing and clean hostsl in Kathmandu. You don't regret staying here. The beds are amazingly comfortable. A huge safe storage under your bed to keep your stuff while roaming around the city. The staff are amazing, nice and very helpful. Food in the two resturants of the hostel is great and you experience the best view ever on the rooftop. I am so happy with my choice and I will always go back to Flock if I get back to KTM.

AustraliaBeds are extremely comfortable and have curtains for privacy! Bathroom facilities are 10/10. Staff are beautiful. AND the restaurant is the best in all of Thamel for sure! The views from this restaurant are incredible, the food is very high quality and the menu is extensive. I had to come back here for another stay. Definitely recommend. And very close to popular bazar (good for buying hiking gear).

United StatesContacting to arrange pick up involved me contacting through every means possible to get a reply. Water in tub is rusty looking and jets dont work Railing on stair up to roof would be nice.
The staff is so friendly and nice, Especially at the cafe upstairs— the gave me endless plastic wrap for my new tattoo and very friendly all around. The roomtop view is super nice. Pick up service was super nice and clean car. Also they carried my heavy bag up like 5 flights of stairs. I got an executive suite since it was my last two nights in country and it was really nice. Luxury of a bathtub looking out was really nice and it was a very spacious suite. Cafe had big list of food and all of it delicious

HungaryWith a common kitchen and a real co-working space with windows the place would be perfect for a longer stay.
Good location, close to Thamel and to the tourist bus stop as well. Safe place for solo female travellers. The bathroom was clean with good running hot water. Clean bed and pillows. Our room on 2nd floor was very quiet. Staff were very polite, helpful and flexible. As I took the night bus from Pokhara I arrived very early in the morning, but they let me in the common areas and even could check in around 7 am without paying any additional fee. Highly recommended.

Philippines1)No common kitchen - but you can get hot water from the restaurant for your coffee. The rooftop restaurant is also great, amazing views and the staff there are very polite and helpful. 2)If you need a quiet room to work, the common room downstairs is not the best as it's not a dedicated co-working space - you're sharing it with everyone else who is not there to peacefully work - but it's good enough. In that case, just get a private room. 3)No elevator, but they do help you with your luggage without you needing to ask. 4)No dedicated room to keep bags after checking out, they keep it in the reception. 5) Please fix the bed curtains.
Had the female dorm and it has the most AMAZING VIEWS. Good location as it's just a short walk to the Durbar Square. The bathroom is kept clean, and there's hot water. Clean bed and pillows. Wifi can be spotty but they have a lot of accounts to connect to, just in case. Met a couple of travelers whom I shared dinners with and a walk to the Durbar Square - fun experience.

The staff were friendly, easily approachable if we needed anything. The room was large and comfortable. Free toiletries, hot drinks and water available. Replenished whenever requested. The onsite restaurant was a great bonus. Great food and drink choices at good prices. The rooftop dining area was a great place for a meal. Also, Flock staff arranged our airport transfers. The rates were fair too.
