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.).

IndonesiaGood price for the location and facilities. They’re very reliable and provide trekking tours that we ended up enjoying so much. The room was smaller than what it looks like in the picture but very clean and has basic things you need. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and we thank the staff for helping us book the things we need for our trip in Nepal :)

Probably the best place we stayed during our whole time in Nepal. - very clean room, bedding looked obviously fresh and clean, bathroom was also clean - good facilities provided such as AC which also worked as a heater, plugs right by the bed, TV, really good wifi - location of hotel is right in the mix of thamel - staff were friendly and really nice people - hot water was available 24/7 this was a personal highlight after struggling with mostly cold showers throughout Nepal to be able to get hot water at all times was just brilliant

Australia- There is only 1 shower between the 2 dorms (12 people) which if full i could see as a problem however we had no issues - Shower is large as it used to be 2 however the shower head that is currently there is quite poor, i ended up having to use the spout tap to rinse my hair as the pressure was not strong enough. - There is a small seating areas outside of dorms which is great unfortunately however it is a designated smoking area which brings the smell into the dorm rooms, not ideal for us non smokers- would recommend limiting smoking to the roof top.
Located in a very convenient location, making it very easy to walk around Thamel. We stayed in the dorm and it was clean, had curtains which was a bonus and unexpected, linen was clean/comfortable and had lockers. The staff are super warm and friendly and always there to help you if you need. Communication was efficient and fast if needed via whatsapp. Luggage storage is available as well as 24/7 tea and coffee in the foyer. Would recommend for a stay in Thamel- however if your are looking for a more social hostel this may not be what you are looking for.
