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 reviewGood location as a bit more peaceful at night than closer locations. Liked the decor and style of the whole place which felt like it had a lot of character. The roof top bar was cool and I loved the friendly dog!
Felt a bit lacking in facilities, could easily be improved with an extra towel, bleach the toilet, a mirror, a waste bin, and a warmer light bulb!

Verified reviewIt is in a good location if you want to be centrally located in/near Thamel but a bit removed from the noise, my room even had a view of some trees! It was pretty quiet and I appreciated the attached bathroom for the price. The hosts made me tea and gave me fruit in the morning because I didn’t want the toast and eggs :)
It was not very clean and the vibe was kind of funny, it seemed like there weren’t many people around.

Verified reviewGreat value for money. Excellent location, close to Thamel and many nearby shops: Wi-Fi was strong, various seating/social areas. Beds were very comfortable & I had the best night sleep in KTM as I couldn’t hear any motorbikes at night!!! Helpful friendly staff Thank you :)
The bin in my room was overflowing & didn’t look like it had been cleaned in 3-4 days. I would have rated higher if not for this.

Verified reviewThe room is big.
I stayed here back in April, when I returned this time, I really don’t like it. The floor, the toilet and the sink feels so dirty and not well maintained, I just feel like no one cares about making this place comfortable. Also every night, they would lock the main gate, so there were guests who come back at 1am and would keep knocking the door to wake the door boy up, it takes 5-10mins for the door boy to respond. They should implement a better system than locking the main gate without notifying the guest. After 2nd night, I know I had to leave
