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.).

RomaniaDirectly in the heart of the Thamel. Located in a narrow alley, a little bit difficult to find. Very friendly staff. They have a nice rooftop terrace, hot water. Felt very secure. They close the front door between 10pm and 7 am. But there is always someone from the reception during nighttime to let you in or out. They can also provide extra blankets if you wish. We visited in January. Big advantage: it is calm and quite during the night, for a good sleep. Otherwise Thamel is very noisy.

SingaporeI had read from previous reviews that the common toilet would be the squat type so my expectations have been managed for that. I also had my own shampoo sachet. Being on the floor just above ground, I can hear people talking on the backstreet below and even smell their cigarette smoke if the window was open. Sunlight did not quite reach the room as the backlane was narrow and close to the building adjacent. Any higher though would mean having to climb more stairs. Room has an ashtray indicating that this may have catered to smokers who may have stayed before me, hence explaining that bit of smell in the room.
This is an honest establishment where the proprietors offer to show me my room before check in to manage my expectations. It was also clarified that the water is only warm from between 8am to 8pm. Hot water was always available upon request. There is a roof top area for those who would like to go up to catch a breather. They were also one of the rare establishments which will gladly accept USD as payment as per what booking.com says payment should be. Most others in Nepal insisted getting paid in Nepalese Rupees on the highest possible conversion rate, but here the owners are gracious to offer what the street money changers are offering. The stay comes with a nice comfy bath towel which is highly absorbent. If one were to return after 10pm, one can ring the doorbell which sounds like some sort of a non-irritating bird call. The owners can also help to call a taxi on the app for travel to the airport which cost just 600Rs. Totally honest.

Austria- one little nightstand for 2 people in the room, could be 2 - toilets could be better - late night loud noise, but that’s quite normal in this area
- staff was super nice, when we came early from the airport they gave us room to sleep and said that we can do all the check in later, we should relax first - we got the room on 4th floor which was nice and sunny, we had access to common balcony

United KingdomNot the cleanest but it's so cheap you get what you pay for. Our sheets weren't clean when we arrived but they changed them when we asked. Shared bathroom not very clean. Not the most comfortable place for a long stay but great for a night or two.
Great location and unbeatable price for Thamel. Good for a short stay - we stayed the night before an early bus and it was completely fine.

RussiaI stayed for 2 nights and 2nd night was Friday - so lots of "resting" locals. I had drunk loud neighbors in the next hotel (windiow-to-window room), and they shouted till 4 am... that was really bad, but it never depends on hotel...
Hotel in the deep of Thamel - feels like living with locals. It was a bit tricky to find first time, but then it's ok. Stuff is very helpful, very comfortable mattresses, and room price is great!
