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 reviewThe fresh air, tranquility and beauty of the courtyard with amenities. ATM located inside the walls. They seem to understand needs of foreign travelers.
Awkward uncertainty on tipping protocol and giving my business purchase when I am ready. I now realize people are more hard up for cash during the off season.
Dear Rebecca, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the fresh air, peaceful atmosphere, and the beauty of our courtyard. It’s wonderful to know that you appreciated the amenities we’ve provided — including the on-site ATM — and felt that we understand the needs of international travelers. We also truly value your honest feedback regarding tipping and purchasing during your stay. We understand that cultural differences around tipping can sometimes feel unclear, and we’ll do our best to communicate this better in the future to help guests feel more comfortable. Your perspective is appreciated, especially during the off-season when things may feel a bit different on the ground. We hope to welcome you back again soon and wish you safe and happy travels ahead. Warm regards, KGH Management

Verified reviewLovely communal garden, good breakfast, secure. I have stayed here occasionally over the past 30 years and it is still pretty good value for money if you want to be in the tourist area.
Outside on he streets can be a little overwhelming on a Friday evening if you want peace and quiet - though you will find that peace in the KGH garden. I was disappointed that the wifi lost connection in my room when making a group call on line.
Dear Jerry, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for being a loyal guest over the past 30 years — that truly means a lot to us. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the serenity of our garden, the breakfast, and the overall value we continue to offer in the heart of Thamel. It's always our goal to provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle just outside our gates. We do, however, sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the Wi-Fi during your group call. We understand how important a stable connection is, especially for online communication, and we are actively working to improve coverage and reliability in all our rooms. We hope to welcome you back again soon, and please don’t hesitate to reach out directly so we can ensure your next stay is even more comfortable. With Regards, Sajani Shrestha

Verified reviewKGH's central location in Thamel is certainly advantageous; however, the room we were assigned was disappointingly small for two guests. The proximity of the bed and the single table made for an uncomfortable experience, falling short of our expectations. Although I chose KGH based on a recommendation, the room amenities were inadequate. During our stay, I observed that most of the hotel staff were primarily focused on cleaning the premises, which resulted in minimal attention to the needs of the guests. On a positive note, the breakfast was satisfactory, and we appreciated the pleasant atmosphere of the dining area.
The room and its amenities were not satisfactory; the hotel staff could have shown a greater attentiveness to the needs of the guests.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve the quality of our services. We're glad to hear that you appreciated our central location in Thamel and enjoyed the breakfast and the ambiance of our dining area. However, we're genuinely sorry to learn that the room you were assigned did not meet your expectations. Comfort and guest satisfaction are priorities for us, and we regret that the room size and amenities fell short during your stay. Your observations regarding our team’s attentiveness are also taken seriously. While cleanliness is a key part of our service, we understand the importance of balancing it with attentive and responsive guest care. We will review this with our team to ensure better engagement and support for our guests moving forward. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable and welcoming stay. With Regards, KGH Team

Verified reviewKathmandu Guest House is a peaceful escape from the bustle of Thamel. The garden is quiet, the rooms are comfortable, and the atmosphere invites both focus and rest. It’s simply a place where you feel good. The staff are kind, discreet, and always available if needed. It’s the kind of place I’d love to come back to, to write, to breathe, or just to slow down.
The only problem? You don’t want to leave and visit the city 😅
Dear Gaelle, Thank you so much for your beautiful words. We're delighted to hear that Kathmandu Guest House offered you a peaceful escape and the kind of atmosphere that nurtures both rest and creativity. It means a lot to us that you appreciated our garden, the comfort of the rooms, and the presence of our team. We strive to create exactly that feeling—a place where you can slow down, breathe, and feel at home. And we completely understand… it is hard to leave sometimes! 😄 We’d be honored to welcome you back whenever you feel the need to write, rest, or simply be. With Regards, Sajani Shrestha
