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 reviewNestled in the heart of Nepal, Karma Boutique Hotel, owned by the delightful couple Suman and his consort, offers an unforgettable escape. As you step into the hotel, a comforting embrace of warm hospitality surrounds you. The attention to detail in decor, coupled with personalized service, sets the stage for an exceptional experience. Two standout staff members, Santos and Nima, elevate the stay to unparalleled heights. Santos' professionalism and genuine friendliness make every interaction a pleasure, while Nima's impeccable attention to guest needs ensures a seamless and enjoyable stay. What truly distinguishes Karma Boutique Hotel is its commitment to adventure. From thrilling jungle safaris to heart-pounding bungee jumping, scenic trails exploring Nepal's peaks to captivating ultralight experiences — the hotel caters to every guest's sense of adventure. Adding to the allure, the hotel organizes guided treks led by knowledgeable guides, providing deeper insights into Nepal's rich culture, history, and natural wonders. Karma Boutique Hotel is not merely a place to stay; it's an immersive journey into hospitality and exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend it for those seeking a luxurious escape intertwined with thrilling adventures and a chance to discover the wonders of Nepal in the most captivating way possible.

Verified reviewEverything! It’s the best hotel I’ve stayed in on all my travels around the world. The quality of the room and the service from the staff was PERFECT! The room was quiet, super clean, homely, modern, bed was super comfy, shower was nice and the little touches like a selection of teas and coffees were all great. Cheap laundry service, room cleaned every day, extra helpful staff who are there 24 hours. The location is also a 10 min walk from Durbar Square. They also looked after my luggage whilst I went to climb Everest Base Camp and put me in the same room on my return. As a solo female British traveller I would definitely recommend for the amazing price! I can’t fault it! Thank you for a lovely stay 🙏🏼
