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.).

If you don't know Nepali, be sure that your special request is well understood.
It's a familial hotel, very close (30m) to Patan Durbar Square (impossible to find a better location in this historical area). The hotel is a traditional building, well preserved, the staff very helpful, thanks to Satish and all of them! The tenant has also a lovely restaurant on the square, where you may enjoy very good food and a fantastic view. If you are interested in a true Nepali experience in Kathmandu, we recommend this hotel!!!

Everything!! The character and architecture of the building, the spacious rooms (although it has low ceilings, as is part of the history of the place), the water, tea and coffee facilities, a big, comfortable bed, and such kind and lovely staff. Nothing was too much bother. And as others have mentioned, you're not going to find a better location! It's right by Patan's Durbar Square, with cafes on your doorstep, and yet, because of how the street's located, it doesn't have much through-traffic, aka not so many noisy motorbikes as in other places. It was hands down my favourite hotel in Nepal. Patan is such a great part of the Kathmandu valley. I'm so glad we stayed 2 nights, as there is so much to see!

Excellent location, just steps from Patan Durbar Square and in a cute alley with lots of restaurants and bars. Fun to walk around the area and soak in the local atmosphere. Beautiful traditional house with kind and very helpful staff. It was hot when we were there but there was a powerful pedestal fan and windows on both sides of the room so we cooled down wonderfully. Staff spoke great English and were very helpful in organising taxis, and making sure our car on arrival went to the right location. Steep stairs up to the top levels but the staff helped carry bags.

Nothing! Experience living in a traditional style Nepali house. If you want a conventional western style hotel this may not be for you. I didn't find the stairs a problem at all, unlike some reviewers.
Everything! Beautiful rooms in an old Nepalese house. Fabulous attention to detail in the traditional style decor, scrupulously clean, all amenities provided, wonderful location just a few metres from Durbar Square, welcoming and friendly staff

My 6’3” husband had to bend down a lot! You need to specify clearly if you have children and need an extra bed.
The character. A beautiful old Nepalese home turned into a hotel in the heart of historic Patan.
