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 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

Verified reviewIts a good place to stay under budget, the amenities were good for the price you pay. Location was bit issue for me, rest all was good n satisfied. They charge extra for credit card payment, better to carry cash.
Location was bit off as it's away from the main thamel fun area otherwise it's a good place to stay . Didnot like the concept for extra 3.5% charge if paid via card. Rest all is fine

Verified reviewI 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 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.

Verified reviewI 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 🙌🏻

I had a very disappointing experience at Flock Kathmandu. First, I was clearly overcharged. My Booking.com confirmation stated USD 38.88, but I was charged NPR 7040, which is over USD 52—around $13 more. This was due to the property using an unofficial and inflated exchange rate of about 181 NPR/USD, while the actual rate at the time was around 135. This is unacceptable and feels like price manipulation. Second, I accidentally left my power bank at the property. I contacted them shortly after, but received no response whatsoever. They completely ignored my messages, and I still don’t know if they found it or not. This shows a serious lack of basic communication and customer care. Overall, this was a frustrating and untrustworthy experience. I expected better from both the property and Booking.com.
