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 reviewDeepak was always having a very welcoming vibe, understood that it was our first time in Nepal and was always giving us suggestions on what to do in Kathmandu. The location of the hostel was also great as it was just less than a 5 min walk to Thamel square. The rooms were comfy, and the washrooms were maintained well. Overall, a great added experience on our Nepal vacation.

Verified reviewThe breakfast was simple but filling and good! They offer tea/ coffee and was able to have more than one cup upon request. Free water refill!!! The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They were more than happy to give us information on near by attractions and hiking options. Close to near by restaurants and shops. I definitely recommend this place!

Verified reviewI stayed here for one night (24–25 July) and everything exceeded my expectations. The owner was incredibly warm and helpful, making the atmosphere feel truly like a second home. The facilities were well-maintained, the place was spotless, and the room was very comfortable. It’s in a great location, and for the price, it offers amazing value. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Kathmandu! And I was even provided with transportation as needed. Kudos to Mr. Deepak for managing things in simple but efficient way!!
Everything was great but there's always possibility for improvement. I'd say fans and bathroom sink could be improved. They were already usable and clean but things can be upgraded further for ease of use.

Verified reviewBreakfast is served from 7-10am. Two eggs, either an omelette or hard-boiled. It’s your choice. (However, I love scrambled eggs, so I learned to say “AnDA BhooJEE, KripaYAH!” and now I get VERY GOOD scrambled eggs every morning,) two pieces of toast, a banana, and a cup of coffee. (I’ve never been denied a second cup.) 😊 *translation above: “Scrambled eggs, please.” - Laundry service, 200NPR per kg, - room cleaning when you request it. I keep my room quite tidy, so I just arranged for a bedding change, bin emptying, floor sweep, and bathroom cleaning once a week. Quiet and peaceful nights for a deep sleep. I am in town organizing a visa to another country, and after the first week of ‘almost’ perfection, I extended my stay here, rather than move to another hotel. Airport shuttle also provided: $12 (usd) equivalent. Worth it. Waiting for you with a sign. Return shuttle is only: 1000 NPR.
I love the peace of just the nature sounds and the staff going here and fro, chatting, what have you, during breakfast time. It’s a good way to start the day. All natural sounds. I don’t like it that guests watch shows on their phones without earbuds. I can’t sit there once that begins. It affects the morning peace. I think staff should put up a sign and inform people to wear headphones or earbuds in a public setting. Sometimes people slam their room doors. Staff needs to let them know to close them gently.

Verified reviewThe hotel had an old-world charm and had a garden and a sitting area, where we could have our meals. The hotel is a renovated property and therefore a heritage property of sorts.
Thy didn't accept cards for payment and that the room was a bit smaller.
