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 reviewLovely cosy stay with a kind owner, comfortable room in the middle of the center. Good breakfast
The bells of the temple in the street are a bit loud early morning, but I assume this is everywhere in the center of bhaktapur. It is part of the sacredness of the temple town.

Verified reviewCentrally located and just far enough from the main square that you felt immersed in the daily culture of local people. Very welcoming and friendly host, clean and comfortable rooms with plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent and a perfect start to a day of adventure.
Having to leave, I could have stayed on indefinitely 😏

Verified reviewFirstly, you won’t get a friendlier host than the gentleman who runs this place. I first stayed here a week back for 3 nights with a friend. I loved my experience so much, I’ve brought my dad back here for some more time to explore Bhaktapur. The room is a basic, but spacious and well organised room. There were blankets and thicker duvets for each bed to keep us warm, or a fan if we felt a little hot. There were some storage areas including a standing hanger, and a side table with shelves. What we loved about this room was being amongst the hustle and bustle of the authentic old town. You open your two double sided windows to the real life nepal and watch the locals daily lives. It’s a beautiful start to your morning, as you lean out and people shout namaste ❤️ again the bathroom is basic but has a piping hot shower, and even some little shower shoes. A towel each was included alongside a complementary bottle of water. Breakfast is included, a lovely little selection of two slices of toast, jam and omlette. Sometimes you might even get a local delicacy; Bara or juju dhau (yoghurt). When asked, the owner was able to give us plenty of recommendations for where to get buses from and walking routes to other places. Overall, I was really shocked to see a couple of comments about this place not raving about it, or that good reviews were fake. The price you pay to stay here, in someone’s HOME, is far more than reasonable. This is not a 5 star resort or hotel. You stay somewhere like this because you want to experience the local culture, meet and support local families who enrich your experience like this one. Trust me, if you want to stay in a great location, with a good price and lots of character, please visit! If you want daily sheet changes, spectacular bathrooms and a buffet breakfast, go somewhere else, maybe Dubai or a resort. Thank you for our stay ! ❤️
Nothing, we love this family and the basic nature of this stay.
