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 reviewBoth the room and bathroom were clean. Great value!
The receptionist tried to sell me a different room instead of the one I had originally booked. He likely made up a story about someone staying in my room due to illness. He showed me another worst room for 800 rupees, but I refused and insisted on either the room I booked or a better one for the same price. After a heated discussion, he eventually gave me the room I had booked. Just be aware — the host might try this kind of dishonest tactic

Verified reviewThe staff are very attentive and easy to communicate with, We couldn’t stay in the room booked as the mattress was a little too hard for us, they did try to make it a little more comfortable for us but we upgraded to a softer mattress. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, there’s fly-screens on the windows so you can open the windows and let the cool breeze in at night. Not a far walk from the lake and there’s lots of restaurants near by. Wifi works well. The bus we took from Kathmandu basically dropped us at the end of the street.
Thanks Taylah for your review 🙏

Verified reviewPlace was nice and cozy. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Location was less than 5 minute walk from Phewa lake. Instead of high commode the room we stayed in had low commode. And no bidet. Other than that our stay was good.

Verified reviewNice friendly people, sitting area, garden, WiFi.
Charging for drinking water, basic amenities.
I am so sorry Mam to charge for the water but that water was also bought from a company. We kept it there because it was safe to drink than to drink directly from a tap. We had kept for free before but people were misusing the facility and we had a loss from it so we kept a basic price for it. So sorry 🙏

Verified reviewNew Tourist Guest House is run by a very friendly family and staff. The location a little south of lakeside is a max. 10 minute walk from the center and still surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars and other hotels. It has a cute little yard to relax.

Verified reviewFor the price range, I think its the best one. We were there at the new year eve so price went little up but its was a good stay so far as we booked it last moment.
Shower was not working properly. Slippers were super old. Just very small issues I think.

Verified reviewSuper friendly at all points during the stay - lovely people to chat to while passing through reception/garden. Very quiet location, but still close enough to the main tourist centre. Very helpful with storing bags, booking taxis and booking a room when we weren't sure on exact dates. Garden felt safe to store 2 kayaks while we were there. Room was very clean.
Not much to say really. Wasn't much space to hang kayaking kit up in the room, but I doubt that's a common complaint!
Thankyou for your review Molly 😊🙏
