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 reviewcomfortable little room behind the museum garden, very relaxing and peaceful stay close to the busy Patan Durbar square. Suitable for a solo traveller looking for some peace with local amenities and accessibility to the greater city.
Thank you for your review.

Verified reviewWe had an incredible stay at Jhigu Homestay and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and comfortable experience in Kathmandu. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to share insights into Nepalese culture, traditions, and food—especially the unique aspects of the Newari community. Their warm hospitality made us feel like home. The room and shared bathroom were sparkling clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Despite being a shared bathroom, it was always available and immaculately maintained, so it was never an issue. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Patan, only few footsteps away from the magnificient Durbar Square. It offers a more authentic experience compared to standard tourist accommodations, yet it’s still central and peaceful, away from the noise and overpriced shops of typical trekking hubs. We slept super well, as it is located in a calm little side alley and there is no noise at all (not typical for downtown Kathmandu!) A nice add on of our stay was meeting the host’s brother, who is a trekking guide. We had the pleasure of hiking around Kathmandu with him, which was an amazing and unexpected addition to our trip. We also appreciated that they offer activities like food tours and cooking classes, which added a rich cultural element to our stay. We loved our time here so much that we will definitely return. Jhigu Homestay is a gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Kathmandu.
Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy your travels ahead. See you again
