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):
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.
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.).

GermanyNew hotel panda is my go-to-hotel in Kathmandu and I’ve tried a few. For a low prize it offers everything I need: a comfortable bed, warm water, a beautiful rooftop and soap, toothbrush and towels. I tried out other places but always ended up here again. It’s in a quiet area which is nice, they are open 24/7 at the reception and very uncomplicated:)

United StatesYou can hear everything and gets loud at night, especially in the hallways when people are coming back from the night out.
We stayed there about two weeks and it was a great place to stay and very affordable. The owner and the staffs were amazing, welcoming us everyday. The property was very close to where we wanted to go. Me and my friends would definitely come back and check this place out when we come back to Kathmandu.

BangladeshGreat value for the price. Very cordial staffs. The hotel also provides bus tickets to Pokhara as well as money exchanger with good value. The location is really good, being located in the lively area of Thamel. The bus counter for Pokhara is also within a short distance from the hotel.

NetherlandsNice central location in Thamel, the staff are all very friendly and helpful! The rooms are good, a bit basic, but with many facilities. We stayed here multiple times throughout our time in Nepal and every time our stay here was good. The roof terrace is definitely a nice bonus! They helped us book bus tickets and allowed us to store luggage for a long period of time. Thanks

Nice quiet location yet central to all sites within walking distance. Some may want to take taxi but the reception or owner will tell you app etc to use. Very friendly staff. Ask them and they will help. I had a very good rest every night.

United KingdomWe recently stayed at Hotel New Panda in Nepal, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As a couple, we were looking for a place that offered comfort, charm, and warm hospitality—and Hotel New Panda exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring we felt welcome and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and genuine care. Our room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, with a stunning view of the surrounding landscape. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a soft bed and all modern amenities. We were particularly impressed by the food. The hotel’s restaurant served delicious local and international dishes, perfect for a romantic dinner. We highly recommend trying their traditional Nepali breakfast! The hotel’s location was also ideal—peaceful yet close to local attractions. We enjoyed exploring the nearby area, and the hotel staff helped us arrange tours and transportation with ease. Overall, Hotel New Panda provided the perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and charm. It was an ideal choice for our couple’s getaway, and we can’t wait to return on our next visit to Nepal. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

NetherlandsRoom is spacious and clean, located in the center but no outside noise. Shower is hot and there are towels provided. Wifi is good and there is also a watercooker, soap and toothbrushes. Beds are very comfortable and its probably the best hotel when it comes to price / quality. Staff is friendly and helpfull and you can also leave your stuff if you go for trekking and pick it up later. Would definitely recommend this! 10/10
