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.).

Felt there could have been tea/coffee making facilities and still be eco friendly.

Verified reviewWe spent a week at Kantipur Temple House and it was truly unforgettable. The building itself is stunning, a beautiful example of traditional architecture that feels both timeless and welcoming. The staff were exceptionally helpful and kind, always going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was a daily highlight: well-stocked, fresh, and with little surprises that kept things interesting every morning. It was also wonderfully quiet, a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the city. One of our favorite parts was the complimentary rooftop yoga, the perfect way to start the day. KTH is a rare blend of charm, hospitality, and thoughtful touches. Highly recommended!
Nothing, everything was great

Verified reviewGorgeous property and amazing staff. It feels like a movie set when you walk in the main courtyard and the corridors. The rooms are generous in size, we took the deluxe rooms they came with an extra bed. It has a very earthy feel to it, everything is wood, wicker or brass. Definitely worth a visit. Located right in the middle of the city centre so everything is walkable, but not on the main road so no traffic noise.

Verified reviewSpacious, clean, friendly, authentic and budget friendly, without hesitation, the best option, no need to look for any other place! The family room 306 was extremely big and looking over an authentic courtyard. A clear 10/10!
Really considering the other options, nothing.

Verified reviewWe were in the heart of Kathmandu in a property that obviously is authentic and has been a quality hotel for some time. It is showing its age and is not a 5 star facility. But, it is comfortable, the food there is very good, the staff is excellent and the facility is well managed. I recommend it for people who are willing to enjoy the history and location and are not expecting pretentiousness in their hotel. It is also a spot in the city with a nice private courtyard away from the motor scooters and crowds; a very nice, quiet place to kick back and enjoy your favorite beverage and some snacks in comfort with great service.
The facility is getting older and some of the maintenance on the exterior has been neglected, mainly at the roof level. The facility has excellent "bones" and is ripe for an investor to renovate and elevate the hotel to a top quality destination IMHO.

Verified reviewLove the aesthetics of the whole place. The architecture looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. The service staff are all very friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and comfortable. Location is good - Away from the hustle and bustle of the Kathmandu city centre, yet within a 10 to 15 minutes walk to the attractions in the area.
I was surprised that the hotel didn't have a lift nor air-conditioning in the room. Our room was on the 4th floor and have to climb the stairs at least twice a day. Would be good to have known this fact earlier. Fortunately the weather was a bit cool (about 22 C) otherwise it could be too warm. The basic amenities could be improved, like providing proper body wash and shampoo. The street in front of the hotel needs to be improved as it was muddy with uneven surface.
