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.).

United KingdomRoom (4 bed dorm) very hot and only cooled by a fan that didn't do much. Did EBC tour through the hostel. Tour was good (Guide called Ram - very funny and friendly, highly recommend the tour (good price compared to other companies offering too)). Only negative was we had a meeting with the guide the night before departure, and one of the hostel receptionist came. At the end of the meeting he said to us (infront of the guide) that tipping was mandatory and we need to leave a good tip. Agree with tipping the guide if a good experience is delivered, but it felt uncomfortable being told by the receptionist that we needed to tip (especially with the guide being there). Not a major problem, but just felt a bit off. No soap or shampoo provides in hostel washrooms too - remember to bring your own!
Great location - easy access to Thamel but no residual noise from the nightlife. Super friendly staff - especially waiters on top floor. Always smiling and supportive. Helped me with tips to visit the monkey temple, gave advice on food, generally just very pleasant to be around. Good WiFi on all floors. Hot showers and good amount of space in dorms. Nice relaxing rooftop area. Food and drinks good and well priced.

NorwayVery nice chill and social vibes. Staff is so kind and helpful. I booked my hiking to the Manaslu thanks to them and got an amazing guide (Prakash Sapkota). This adventure is one of the best memories of my travels and that’s thanks to him. I highly recommend the hostel and the trekking agency. Dhanyabad.

IndiaIt’s very well maintained, hassle free, beds and toilets are clean which is brilliant. Restaurant is great, service is great. Has a great view at the top and is close to thamel. Honestly the stay was wonderful and people were amazing, they arranged the Everest base camp trek and the guide they provided was amazing. So it was a great experience in Nepal, thanks to everyone at the hostel. Amazing people and I definitely recommend!
