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):
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.
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.).

NepalFirst of all, I would like to point out that you get a good value for the price. But those who book should understand that the rooms are older than in the pictures. I was in a very basic room where the lighting is dim and the windows, the dresser, the chair, the paint on the walls are very old, like in the pictures but 7 years ahead. The lobby and the staircase all look old too. It gives the feeling not of a hotel but of a very simple and old hostel. If this suits you and your budget is important to you, then go for it. Other than that, the room was clean and the staff was nice and tried to help. The mattress on the bed you lie on feels a bit like the springs, but overall I slept okay. The WIFI was okay. The location is very good
The location is very good.

United KingdomRooms are on the small side and there was no hot water when I tried it but the water wasn't that cold so it didn't bother me.
Small family run budget hotel in a very convenient location on a quiet lane in north-west Thamel. Rooms are small and simple but comfortable enough. The staff are all very friendly and do their best to help you out during your stay. Of all the places I've stayed in Thamel by far the quietest and for the price represents excellent value for money!

GermanyThe staff was kind but not very interested in us .... It felt like they are doing their job and that's it. It was actually forbidden to do washes in a bucket ourselves, even though all facilities were available.
They kept our luggage for a month while we were hiking. Mosquito nets are at the windows :) Located nicely in a side road with dead end, so not much noise there usually! The rooftop is nice for yoga practice and hanging washes.

1. The location is great, it's convenience and with restaurants around. 2. The two young staff are nice and helpful. 3. The restaurant on the first floor is great! The food is good and the price is okay too! 4. They have 24 hrs reception, which is very convenient for us as we arrived at 11:45 pm.

Everything working well. Clean enough, with ald but comfortable facilities. Value for money! Decor is old fashioned and a bit hard to look at but won't be an inconvenience.. Better than most in this range!

IndiaThere were some workings in the street, it was noisy early in the morning. But it's not a blame of the hotel, I think
I had everything I needed: hot water (sometimes you have to wait couple of minutes for it), wi-fi (quite stable), a comfortable bed, a fan. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was happy to stay here.

NepalI paid the same price that I would pay for a bed in a dorm but I got a private room, good internet, clean bedsheets etc. Can't complain at all.
So, all in all lads, if you're there for a 1 day lay off, the room is gonna satisfy all your basic needs. Internet is fine, fan works properly.

NetherlandsI asked to store my luggage for a few hours. When I came back, my backpack was still standing in front of the reception unguarded. So everybody could basically take it. Also the shower was lukewarm and the place could use some fixing up.
Centrally located in a quiet part of Thamel and good price for a 1 night stay.
