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.).

IndiaNo soap or any other amminities in washroom. No storage locker for your luggage, just a small locker to keep laptop etc. Beds don't have curtains for privacy. Structure of bed is pathetic, it feels the upper bunk might break and fall anytime. The whole bed shakes as if there's an earthquake. In certain rooms there are 10-12 beds in a single room.. with very little open space. No personal light on beds. No place to keep your clothes, I had to hang my clothes on window pane. Just two fans at the end of hall.. rest of the people have to sleep without fan. No mosquito repellent put up by facility.
It is close to Thamel market, and has a common space on terrace. Nothing else is good about this place.

GermanySocial hostel, don't look around the bathroom too much.. One thing that really bothered me was that they moved my stuff from my bed after the first night and later that day someone else slept in my bed. There was still a bed for me in the dorm, but I had to pick a different one.

PolandThere could be some curtains on the beds to have a little bit more privacy. It does not cost too much and makes a lot of difference to a traveller. Also, the toilets are very small and sometimes it's not too comfortable to use them.
The personnel is very helpful, there is a nice rooftop restaurant to have your tea or some snack or just rest or work. Wifi works ok, the lockers are available on the ground floor with no extra charge.

Colombia- the bunk beds were extremely unstable, any time the girl on the bed above me sneezed or turn over, entire bed swayed for 2 minutes. The beds were clearly poorly made and cheap - no soap in none of the bathrooms, the toilet paper was always wet or no toilet paper - only cold water in the sinks - i came to the hostel healthy but got a cold there from other people in a room- again- buy some soap at least if you don’t have warm water in the hostel
- the location is ok

IndiaThe place itself was good, especially the rooftop area however the bathrooms and toilets are a little weird, they only have half doors. Due to the elections, my bus to India got cancelled and so I had to check out a little late since I was arranging for a bus. The staff was a little rude about that. I understand I should have informed them a bit earlier but it wasn't my fault either since the bus was abruptly cancelled due to elections and I wasn't sure whether I would have to extend my stay or not. Other than that, it was a smooth stay and other staff members especially on the rooftop were quite helpful.

United KingdomOur room was quite noisy at night, particularly barking dogs and sometimes other guests outside the room. Having a shower curtain in the wet room would have been better as everything got wet everytime we showered and water came out of the bathroom. We weren’t provided with towels so used our own.
Two storey roof terrace is a great place to chill and meet people. Great view and atmosphere up there! We had a private room which was really spacious. All staff we spoke to were really helpful and lovely. We extended our stay by 4 nights in the end. Hot showers every evening. Good wifi connection.

VietnamThe hostel is right at the main road, so you will hear a lot of traffic noise and general noise from the street. Also the room was not insulated at all and the windows didn't close properly, so it was really loud, also coming from the other floors through the door. The room itself was very bare, but alright. I had a private room with two beds and both were incredibly uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom was kind of rundown and would constantly flood when using the sink (I know they usually do here in Nepal, but this was a lot of water). They also didn't provide soap to wash hands with. The rooftop is nice, but as a solo traveler it wasn't really inviting for getting to know other people, since all the sitting possibilities are small and far away from each other. Altogether I thought it was wayyyy to expensive for what was offered. Maybe the dorms are more worth it, since it would be cheaper. I would not recommend this hostel for a private room.
The location of the hostel is pretty good. It also has a cozy rooftop where you can chill out. The staff was friendly. Pretty clean overall.
