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 neighborhood is nice, quiet but still close to Thamel, with plenty of excelente places around. The beds are comfortable, and the hotel terrace is a good place to chill, with interesting views.
The hotel is cold in winter, and the heater can't warn the room enough, even at full power. This is more evident in the bathroom, which window can't be completely closed, so have a shower can be freezing. The WC is constantly leaking.

Verified reviewVery clean - bed linen and sparkling bathroom. Sunny room with balcony. Good views. Pleasant staff. Quite a big, useful table. Beautiful roof-top garden.
2 of the 3 wall sockets did not work so had to recharge my phone in the bathroom. Toilet was leaking.

Verified reviewA hidden gem in Thamel! The location is very close to restaurants, shops and sights and barely a minute walk from the tourist bus station. It is incredibly quiet, and beds were very comfortable. Strong Wi-Fi is also available. The room was clean and had a balcony. The owners were also very kind and helpful, and helped me book bus tickets. I will definitely stay there again when I come back to Kathmandu!

Verified reviewA quiet hotel, with kind and helpful staff. It is located at the edge of Thamel (Paknajol), being close to everything while offering the chance to escape from the noise of the more central hotels. It has an air conditioner that can be useful at hot days. At the 3rd floor, a nice big balcony where guests have access during the whole day. Value for money.
The hotel is considered clean for Nepal, and indeed it's not bad. I don´t want to exaggerate, but I believe the floor and some surfaces could be a little cleaner. The bed was fine. Again, don't consider it a deal-breaker. Breakfast wasn't offered (neither at an extra fee).

Verified reviewLocation. A veritable haven conveniently situated, barely 5 minutes to ‘everything’ Thamel. Really friendly and helpful staff. Great rooms for the price, some with balcony and views.
Nothing, far exceeded expectations 👍

Verified reviewFriendly family run business, in a good central location.
Please can we be honest with our reviews. This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a 9 or 10 rated property. It's fairly cheap, and you get what you pay for. Room was ok, bathroom was.... Let's say a bit crusty. There's a popular restaurant / bar, across the street, that is extremely noisy at night & early morning. I would definitely recommend earplugs. Found myself locked out, after arriving back at the hotel just before midnight. Had to wait 10 minutes or so before anyone let me in. So please be aware that they lock up at 10:30pm, or something like this, as it wasn't mentioned to me beforehand.
