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.).

CanadaNice, spacious clean rooms. Staff were excellent- friendly and ready to help arrange anything you need, but not pushy at selling tours, etc. Picked me up from the airport, arranged a sim card delivered to the hotel, even volunteered to walk me to the nearest atm lounge- hardly necessary, but much appreciated. Strongly recommend!

AustraliaAlmost nothing, even though I didn’t see any elevators but the staff will help you with the luggages, maybe bit noisy well that is because its location in heart of Thamel but it doesn’t really affect me, as long as all the basic facilities like AC, hot water, and cleaness is above the line.
Its location, the owner and the staff are so friendly and contactable, able to provide my request and helpful! You have options for payment whether cash in NPR and any currencies also with card. They also provide the airport transfer which is very helpful! so that’s why I stay here 2 nights and extended for 5 nights!

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like. I was happy with everything . However, it would be nice to have a more pleasant seating area to drink coffee and eat breakfast. Perhaps in the upstairs area which is not often used and has a balcony.
The hotel was very clean. Particularly my bedroom and bathroom. The bedding was also clean and there was a mattress protector too. Most places I've stayed in don't provide this. The staff were absolutely lovely and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. Yogesh, a member of staff, also accompanied me to the bus station, to make sure that I set off safely for my onward journey. The location of the hotel is great. Near shops and some great cafes.

This hotel literally saved my trip. First I was looking around for good USD exchange spots but none with good rates, hotel boss offered me a very good one that covered the cost of my trek to manaslu. Then after I got scammed very badly on the trek and came with significantly low cash, he accepted me and offered a cheap ride to the airport. The boss is responsive, kind and helpful. My trip in Nepal can’t be completed without him and his family and staff. The breakfast was also very good value considering it’s included (way better than the mountain ones)

United StatesI liked everything and will stay here again for any future trip. Recommended for anyone, single or couples.
The location is fantastic, just off the main busy street, quieter. The room is as shown in the photo, simple and clean. Every staff member is exceptional, and they never say no to any requests. The owner is flexible and super friendly. The breakfast: cappuccino, latte, banana pancake, toast, and eggs can be prepared any way you want.
