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 reviewThis Hotel is a stones throw from the Lukla Airport Departure gate (3 minutes walk). The owner was very attentive and incredibly willing to assist us with our needs. The dining room area was very clean, traditional and comfortable, and nicely decorated. Food and pricing were good. There was even the cutest kitten that made the place very homely. Friendly staff, and while other areas in Lukla had the barking dogs ours was blissfully peaceful. Any requests we made prior to arrival were attended to (eg, quiet room with a view). Our room was comfortably basic with nice views, clean with an ensuite. The Nepalese people work long hours every day to give the best they can.
We were informed that the showers were solar powered and therefore if the shower wasn't hot (cloudy days are common) come and see the owner and he would assist us with another shower option...upfront, honest and realistic. Thats the way it was in Nepal when you are in these locations. My shower was just warm but it wasn't a drama as I was forewarned with good reason. Just be prepared to be understanding of the way things are. There was still a bit of noise from the room across the hallway, but again, a minor thing that didn't affect privacy or sleep. If you are aware of the challenges these people face you can be flexible together.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you appreciated our service, the peaceful environment, and the traditional comfort of our dining area. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we are very happy that our proximity to the Lukla Airport, the quiet room with a view, and the homely touches — including our little kitten — made your stay even more enjoyable. Your understanding and flexibility regarding local conditions, such as solar-powered showers and occasional sounds, means a lot to us and reflects the spirit of travel in the Himalayas. Your kind words about our hardworking team and your recognition of the realities of life here are incredibly encouraging. We always strive to offer an honest, welcoming, and authentic experience for all our guests, and it is wonderful to know that this was reflected during your time with us. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. We wish you all the best in your future adventures and hope to welcome you back to Lukla again someday! Warm regards, Mountain View Lodge, Lukla

Dear Gerald, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us to improve our services. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. Please know that we take maintenance very seriously, and we conduct a thorough inspection and repair of the property after every season. However, due to the unique challenges in Lukla — especially during the busy trekking season — it becomes very difficult to arrange immediate repairs. Since the flights prioritize passengers and essential supplies, cargo shipments for repair parts are often delayed until the end of the season. We fully understand how important cleanliness, comfort, and facilities are for our guests, and we are continually working hard to improve these areas. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will take extra care to address these concerns in the future. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much better experience next time. Warm regards, Mountain View Lodge Team

Verified reviewBreakfast provided early and on time in order to catch my flight to Kathmandu. The owners/staff paid attention to my comfort. Disherpa booked my flight and guided me through the process of checking in, making it easy. I was the only guest since it was still very early in the treking season
Quiet staying in an empty lodge but to be expected given the time. No complaints.

Verified reviewWe very much enjoyed the Nepalese style and atmosphere of the place. The owner is a legend of mountain climbing. Everyone knows him and he knows everyone in Lukla. He was very helpful and efficient in organizing a b plan when our flight to Katmandu was cancelled. There is no other place in Lukla if you want to experience Nepal.

Dear Petrus, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. During peak season, our team serves large groups, often exceeding 10 guests, which can lead to longer meal preparation times. While some lodges may limit bookings to groups only, we welcome all guests, including single travelers who often bring guides. As part of our commitment to providing an inclusive experience, we do not charge for guides, ensuring solo travelers and their companions can stay comfortably. Regarding the temperature in our dining area, local firewood restrictions mean we conserve heating resources to maintain warmth throughout the winter months. We appreciate your understanding as we strive to balance guest comfort with responsible resource management. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future. Warm regards, Mountain View Lodge Team
