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 reviewThe guesthouse is in a perfect location, close to the Nyatapola Temple. You can spend extra time visiting Bhaktapur old town at night or early in the morning. The guesthouse staff were really friendly and flexible. In the morning, heavy rain struck, so we moved from the rooftop to our room to have breakfast. The breakfast was simple but really tasty. The room was spacious and had a traditional wood-carved window, which provided a nice atmosphere. Through the window, the view of the surrounding street felt authentic. We really enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse!
Unstable hot water for shower in the night

Verified reviewStaying at The Sunny Guest house was like joining the family in their home. It was very quiet when I was there and the family went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Breakfast on the roof was really special with views of the mountains in one direction and the lovely square in the other. The location was great too as you could easily pop back during the day for a break before heading out again to enjoy the delights of Bhaktapur. The electric blanket was a nice touch as it did get quite cold in the evening.

Verified reviewExcellent vacation very close to Durbar square and the sites of Bhaktapur. A lovely rooftop for sitting and catching a sunrise view of the Himalayas. The room was spacious, very clean, and quite comfortable. The proprietors were welcoming and kind and the guesthouse is full of exquisite carvings done by the patriarch of the family. Overall an outstanding find and we would definitely stay again!

Verified reviewAn outstanding place to stay! The rooftop has extraordinary views of the mountains and is filled with sunshine. Keepa and her son are kind, generous and helpful hosts. They upgraded my room and helped with practical issues like transport and laundry. Nothing was too much trouble and Keepa was delightful to talk to. I felt like family. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept on in Nepal! The location is fantastic.
I loved everything.

Verified reviewThe location of the structure is the best you can have in Bahaktapur: from the window of your room you can wake up blissfully looking at the splendid Nyatapola temple at close range, the most impressive and scenic in the city, and enjoy all its beauty even on the sunny terrace of this beautiful guest house! I also point out the extreme kindness, the elegance of the kind and professional ways of Mr. Aayam Prajpati, attentive to every little detail so that your stay in Bahaktapur can go in the best possible way. I recommend it, absolutely!
