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 reviewLocation and staff
This is perhaps the best location in Pokhara with delightful staff, with a historical perspective, as it was declared open by Edmund Hillary in 1998. But the building badly requires refurbishment and a much improved cleaning regime under better management and supervision. The bathrooms especially was badly stained with soap and dirt marks in the shower area. We travel every month and for the first time we encountered a situation where a hotel that describes itself as 5 star refuses to do socks and undergarment laundry. They explained that they don't have a washing machine and the laundry is done by hand. Multiple descriptions on their web site are inaccurate and misleading. There is no "indoor Pool", no "in room safe", "Fitness centre" etc . We experienced several power cuts during day and night and was unable to use my CPAP machine and as a result and was up untill 3am. We were told they are unable to operate generator after 10pm because it disturbs the villagers.
Dear Dushmanthe GB, I am very sorry your bathroom was not up to standard and we have rectified this both at the time and in tightening up supervision as you rightly note. However, we do not align ourselves as 5 star, we are Tourist Standard in the Nepal Minsitry of Toruism categroies and maintainstandards well above that. As you will be well aware from your Sri Lankan origings, it is not culturally acceptable to hand wash other poeple's underwear outside immediate family. Our infromation on Booking.com has been rechecked and does not mention indoor pool or in-room safe and we are surrounded by hundreds of acres of natural fitness centre! Power cuts are beyond our management and Nepal being a developing country and pwer cuts are more frequent. You did not advise us of your CPAP machine requirements and therefore we made no arrnagements. We do not wish to pry into guests' medical needs and expect adult guests to be sensible in informing us for their own comfort. So, to conclude, I apolgise for the less than acceptable shower, that was rectified immediately but make no apology for the rest of your review. Yours sincerely, Marcus Cotton Managing Director

Verified reviewThe team at Tiger Mountain made our stay very special. We really enjoyed the walks with Sajan; very informative and great to explore the surroundings including where he grew up. Harry did everything to really make us feel at home. The view from the room was spectacular. The food was the best we had in Nepal.
We’ve stayed at 6 different locations in Nepal ranging from usd40 to usd450 and by the end, struggled to make sense of the price/quality ratio. It was really, really good, bus so was another property where we paid usd100. Another one where we paid $120 was worse than one where we paid $40. Overall, definitely a very special stay and beautiful memory but expensive.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing. We were picked from Pokhara airport and taken to the lodge. The views are exceptional, breathtaking in the early morning. We enjoyed our walks with Hari and the picnics were divine. They were extremely helpful in organising our onward transportation.
