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.).

IndiaIt was one of the best hostels we stayed during our travels in Nepal. We arrived during the early morning and the staffs were kind enough to allow us to chill out in the common area and within less than an hour we got our room ready which was really something we appreciated :) The location of this hostel is really nice, making it accessible to popular tourist hubs like Thamel which is at a walking distance. The rooftop was pretty chilled and had some great views of Kathmandu. Huge thanks to Pramod and Karan for making our stay nice, helping us with their valuable suggestions regarding the places of interest in Kathmandu and guiding us on our upcoming travels in Nepal and they even helped us with getting our currency exchanged during the time when we needed it the most!

SpainThis hostel was amazing! I spend there 1 night at the beginning of my trip and it was the best way to start the adventure in Nepal. I asked for some informations before to arrive in Nepal and they quickly replay to all my questions. Staff is amazing, especially Karan. The airlines lost my bag and he did many calls to the airport in order to receive it at the hostel (without my presence). Right after receiving it at the propriety he texted me that everything was fine and the bag was there. I really appreciate that since I only spend one day in Kathmandu and I could enjoy the city instead of worries about the luggage get lost. I left in the early morning and he woke up for me very early with a big smile on his face. It is such a very good worker and I can definitely say that he loves what he do. Food is cheap and tasty. The shared room and bathroom are clean and they have hot showers. The terrace has a vibe and you can enjoy the sunset from up there. The location is also a must, on Katmandú center. 10 minuts away from the airport and the bus station. Quality/Price 10/10

They booked a trip on Island Peak and my flight back (from Lukla directly to Kathmandu) just on demand while trekking. Everything worked right!

United KingdomIt is a shame to not have an area to relax that is properly ‘inside’. The floor of the roof terrace doesn’t seal off the common space below so when it was quite cold over winter there wasn’t a warm space. but this is obviously not an issue most of the year and I had a wonderful stay overall
Very good value for money place with various dorm sizes. nice spaces to chat with other guests too and a small bar with decent food and great staff always around to advise and help out with all sorts. I checked in twice for this place and each time it felt like they valued each guest a lot no matter how busy it was!
