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 KingdomIt’s not my first time here and it won’t be my last. “Rest Up” is exactly what this place will enable you to do. Comfy beds, clean and ample washrooms. Very spacious, 2 story chill out area situated at the rooftop of the property; accompanied by scenic, hilltop top views and directly in line with Swoyambhu temple. Minutes from Thamel centre. Relaxed atmosphere, tasty food and beers available but above all it’s the guys that run the place daily that makes this hostel so special. Extremely pleased to be received by the same smiley faces as I was a long time before which for me, speaks for itself. Taxi service, both to and from airport available at reception plus many options for trekking via their partner adventure company.

IrelandVery good value for money. Even if the builduing and room with furnitures are bit old and carpeted, the room is at same time big and confortable, with also big confortable bed. The staff has been very helpful and friendly, folllowing up constantly with me about my stay. They are very good with helping in organising trips and tekkings. They have helped me in organising for good price a very well organised private one day trip, including the visit to Patan and the most important place of interest in Kathmandu, such as Budha Stupa and Monkey Temple. The hostel has a restaurant roof top, where you can enjoy a great city view. I had a tasty dinner for good price. Location is central, close to the tourist area with shops and restaurants/bars in Thamel.

NetherlandsWell, the bathroom is pretty basic but then in relation to the price for a single room it‘s fair. With the right expectations to get what you pay for, the incredibly friendly staff, people and view from the terrace it made up for it, at least for me.
Super friendly staff. Rooftop terrace is true gem. Location is good, breakfast is good. There are always travellers around so if you‘re after social encounters, it won’t take long until you have a great conversation going.
