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 staff was extremely sweet. They even arranged tickets for a bus to Sauraha (but they can book tickets for other locations as well), so we didn’t have to go elsewhere. The bus station—if you could call it that, since it’s just a spot next to the main road—is down the street. The men walked with us and helped us find the right bus—there are a lot(!) of them. Also, the tickets were supposed to cost 200 NPR more each, but since they got them at a lower price, they passed the savings on to us. They even packed a breakfast to go because we were leaving very early.
The sheets were a bit dirty, but nothing too bad. The water in the shower was cold, and the water pressure in the sink was very low.
Thank you Tomas . We will try our best to get it done .

Verified reviewDecent hotel in Thamel but in a very quiet area. Also, very close to the tourist bus station (to Pokhara). Everything was good. We've got a lot of help and very good recommendations from Mr. Janaki and his wife. Mr. Janaki also booked for us a wonderful hotel in Pokhara, helped with permits, and gave us a lot of good advice for our trekking. You can really trust their advice!
Breakfast was ok, just the same every day. Perhaps it's because it was the end of the season and we were the only guests. I would personally appreciate options to choose a different / Nepali breakfast (even pay more)
Dear sir, Thank you for writing a suggestion and review . We will try our best to serve.

Verified reviewThe hotel staff was very friendly. They treat us like family. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. And we were vegetarian and Indian, so they arranged the breakfast for us accordingly which I feel is what makes this visit a special one. Great hotel 😃 I will like to visit again whenever I visit Nepal

The location is little bit uphill and it may not suit to those with walking aids though transport availability is perfect.

Verified reviewThe location is great, close to main touristic areas like Thamel and also to bus stations like Balaju, Sorhakhutte and Bus Park (departures to Pokhara and Chitwan). The room was clean, comfortable and big. The bathroom was clean and had hot water. The staff is very friendly and familiar. We had breakfast every morning in the kitchen which was delicious
The bathroom in our room was a bit small.
