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 location is right near the market area, with plenty of restaurants. The staff were brilliant and very helpful. They arranged trips to sights of interest, and a special note must go to the driver who was excellent
The only thing I can think of is that the quilt was too thick for the temperature, and was hot. I took it out of the cover which solved the problem

Verified reviewWe were returning guests, we love that it is situated in the heart of Thamel, so close to everything. We loved the busyness, the traffic, the people, the bars, the food. The staff at the guest house are so nice, friendly and helpful, nothing is a bother. Our security man is also very friendly, always smiling. Our breakfasts were also very good, plenty of variety and very filling. Would totally recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to experience real Kathmandu.
Nothing, everything was great.

Verified reviewThe staff was super amazing!! I had my best chai in Nepal, at this place. Very sweet and friendly people. Highly recommend..
The rooms could be upgraded a bit, aesthetically. The bathroom could be better, for example. Attention to some small details will make a big difference..

Verified reviewThe location is great, quiet at night but really close to the main area. The owner and his brother helped us so much. We had a cancelled flight going to lukla and they helped us figure everything out. They managed to get us an helicopter for the same price as our flight so we arrived in time at lukla.

Verified reviewAll the staff at Madhuban Guest House were so friendly and helpful! They easily organised airport pickups and drop offs for us, as well as a private driver for a day of sightseeing and hiking at our own pace. The beds are comfy, location is great and you can open the windows to let fresh air in. I would stay again in a heartbeat, thank you!!
The toilet was leaking a little bit, but that's all!

Verified reviewThis guest house had friendly and helpful staff who organised our taxi from the airport when we arrived at night and then also found us a driver for the day, to visit UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu. They bought our tickets for the bus south to Chitwan and were friendly and helpful. The hotel is simple but located within a short walk of the more vibrant streets of Thamel (Kathmandu's tourist area). Breakfast was filling and good.
The sheets in our room were perhaps not that clean and the hot water took a long time to come through. Showers were lovely and hot, but my friend had a cold shower the first night as she thought, after a long wait, that there was no hot water! So wait until the heat draws through the pipes. Mattresses were quite hard.
