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 location of the hotel is great - right in the centre of everything. The rooftop view is amazing although it tends to be closed in the evenings.
The name of the hotel is not Hotel Happy Home. As no one knows where it is, it was really hard to find. The number I got with the booking did not work. The staff cannot speak English so it was hard to communicate. At first, the hotel tried to downgrade me and gave me a much worse room than I paid for. I wonder why they did not at least apologize. If you are on the highest floor, you will be woken up with metal chairs dragged on the floor - due to that I was not able to get proper sleep.

Verified reviewThis was the nicest hotel in this price range in Kathmandu. We looked at six other places, none of the others compared for location, value or facilities. This hotel has a lift, that was very helpful, many places do not. The rooms are large and you are able to spread out and not feel closed in. They provided drinking water. The heater worked well (we travelled in February so it was cool). The bathroom could do with updating and the towels could use replacing as well. I would stay here again.
Bathroom could be updated. Towels could be replaced.
Thank you very much, we look forward to serve you again in coming days.

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful place to stay in Thamel! The hosts are amazing people, who are always happy and ready to help with any quiry. In 5 stars hotels you do not feel such a care like here. The rooms are clean and there is everything you need for the stay. Indeed it is a Happy Home :) I will definitely stay here on my next trips.

Verified reviewAwesome location with a wonderful rooftop!! Wonderful staff that are so friendly and genuine-also didn’t hassle us for tips which is so appreciated!!!! Plus they let us leave our bag whilst we went trekking!!! The room was super comfy,shower good and it didn’t smell as bad as a lot of local bathrooms!! Extremely good value for money!!
Not the property’s fault;some guests are soooo loud and you can hear everything and can’t sleep 😩 Hotel desperately NEEDS to put up a sign telling guests to “Be quiet please,other guests are sleeping!”

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly friendly. I felt really comfortable and secure during my stay, never having to question my safety. The location is optimum too, with being in the heart of Thamel. Surprisingly, while I was expecting loud noises from the city, it wasn't that extreme. The facilities given were great, with a clean environment.
For the cost, everything was up to mark, so there wasn't anything I disliked. It does get very cold during the nights, and while extra blankets were provided, I'd still advise others to bring warm clothes.

Verified reviewSince my flight was relatively early and I didn't have time to have breakfast at the hotel.I asked staff of receptio if I could change to eating at a certain time on the day of check-in, and the result was very satisfactory, and I enjoyed a delicious dinner consisting of momo and special tea on the terrace on the top floor. Thank you so much.There is an elevator! In Tamil of Kathmandu, this is an absolute plus.
Most of the hotel's floors are being remodeled, there will be some noise during the day, and some public spaces have some decoration materials piling up, affecting the senses. Also the bath water is not hot enough.

Verified reviewStaff were friendly and accommodated our last-minute requests (change of arrival time). Room was very spacious and quite comfortable. Ideal location in the middle of Thamel.
Had to return to the hotel because of fees they forgot to charge us when we checked out. It was quite an inconvenience.

Verified reviewLoved the accommodating and pleasant staff. It's a family run business who puts a lot of heart and soul into the service. Special thanks to David, his father, and Mina! Convenient location in the heart of Thamel too.
The hotel is a bit old and rundown. However they are in the middle of renovating it so it'll be a lot better in the future. Depending on the room, it can get noisy from the street crowds. They were able to switch my room though.

Verified reviewI have stayed at this hotel several times. Bahrat and David could not be more welcoming. They try hard tomake your staybas comfortable as possible. Rooms are large and com with a seating area, TV, kettle and fridge. Hot water available after 8am. Bed clean and comfortable. Good thamel location. Roof terrace a bit bonus to escape the mayhem of thamel and have somewhere above the noise to relax
