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 villa is beautiful old world right in the middle of Thamel , next to Third Eye, Yin Yang and a fabulous ice cream place Silk as well the most magical book shop called Pilgrims which has four floors of books and every other thing you can imagine.. The caretaker and help were sincere and helpful. The room was large and the bed very comfortable, with lots of charging points located sensibly near the bed, at the desk and near the electric kettle. The lobby area of the Villa is full of lovely old trees, very quiet even though it is right off the main street. The breakfast is via a coupon you can redeem at the Pumpernickle bakery down the road which was just amazing with many delicious options like a healthy yoga bowl and a full English breakfast.
Why do modern shower stall not have any shelf where you can keep the bath gel?! Itis a pain to keep the shampoo on the floor.......

Verified reviewBreakfast is at Pumpernickel which was fine, except there is no coffee in the room that I would want to drink. The people were friendly enough. It's a beautiful old villa that has been renovated and needs a touch up here and there. The outside area needs some work with a run-down lean-to at the end and just paving. Our room was cold, there is a heater which helped. The shower water tended to run cold if you shower in the morning as it's mostly solar. It would be great in the summer months. For the price I felt it was a little over, but right in the middle of Thamel so handy for amenities.
Cold showers and no coffee or bar. It's just a room so if that's what you want it's fine.

Verified reviewBF in the near bakery a few blocks away was ok, but the quality of the bakery has seen better days. We had the suite room which was nice and spacey, would definitely come again.
Water in the morning was not really hot, but hot in the evening.

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfortable.
The bathroom layout was strange. The vanity was awkward, not very functional and right next to a mattress on the floor. The toilet room was on a landing with many steps going down to the shower which did not have a light, so I found a nightstand light and brought it down for light. I couldn't figure out the lighting situation. Many of the outlets would not allow a plug to stay on.

Verified reviewGreat location - very close to all the action of Thamel but down a little side street which made it very quiet. Lovely characterful rooms. Very helpful staff who sorted out a taxi for me even during a festival when hardly anyone was working.

Verified reviewWe recently had the pleasure of staying at Thamel Villa Heritage Hotel on 2 separate occasions during this vacation and I must say, the experience was truly wonderful. The Nepalese hospitality at this hotel is simply amazing. Special mentions to Rajiv, Manisha, and Prim who make our stay memorable. The rooms at Thamel Villa Heritage Hotel truly reflect colonial old-world charm while maintaining a level of cleanliness and comfort. The amenities provided also deserve a special mention as they promote local products, giving guests a taste of authentic Nepalese culture. The location of the hotel is perfect, situated in the heart of Thamel with close proximity to many interesting places, making it convenient for travelers looking to explore the vibrant surroundings of Kathmandu. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast at Pumpernickel Bakery provided by Thamel Villa Heritage Hotel was a delightful treat. It was superb and added an extra touch of hospitality to the overall experience. If I ever find myself back in Kathmandu, there's no doubt that I'll choose to stay at Thamel Villa Heritage Hotel again. It's a gem of a place that exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Nepal.
