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.).

Taiwanthe hotel is in the center of Thamel so it’s so convenient to have food, shopping and there’s a convenient store you can buy anything there. But there are some bar near by so there may be some music during the night, but as for me, I close the window then it’s ok to sleep otherwise with earplugs is a solution.
Access to Nepal This is my 2nd time to Nepal and I still choose Access to Nepal to stay at. Though it’s not a 5 star, very new or fancy hotel, but with very affordable price, they always offer clean room and stable hot shower 24/7. And all the staffs are so nice and helpful. Even the security guides always help us to talk with taxi driver (we book taxi from Pathao App) our location in Nepali so as to make the communication efficient! The bed, pillow and quilt are so comfortable to sleep so well .

And all the staffs are so nice and helpful, any help includes storage our luggages there for 14 days safely without any extra charge, or any problems for example refrigerator is not working or we need ice, just a phone call they will come to serve immediately. The front desk staffs is always so helpful, especially the staff Ram, I always can met him and get help, they may help us to lift the luggages or me and my trekking company often leave something in front desk to let each other to take it without have a fixed meet up time.

United StatesHaving spent a week in Kathmandu on this most recent trip, at a different hotel each night (of the same price range), Hotel Access was probably the least run down & it didn’t feel dirty. I had a nice room that included 2 comfy chairs, a coffee table, a short dresser table and closet with a few hangers. I had a proper balcony (with 2 chairs and a table) that had a view down on to the street & a café below (shown in pic). Breakfast was from 6am-10am on the 4th floor (covered) rooftop terrace. I was told that they only have a buffet when there are enough guests. But they provided me with fried veg & potatoes (with seconds), eggs of my choice and toast. Fruit was not an option. They were very attentive, providing me with 3 cups of my beloved milk tea. The shower has no curtain (typical of Nepal) but had a hand-held shower head. I had 2 showers while there: in the daytime the water was cold, but it was wonderfully hot in the evening. The hotel is in a busy part of Thamel & consequently quite noisy at night. (My room was opposite the Reggae bar, but I didn’t hear its music on a Friday night.) The bed is hard as a rock, typical of most places in Nepal. Check-out time is noon, (not 2pm as posted on booking.com). But the manager (Ram) was very accommodating and allowed me to stay in the room a little longer, and then to loiter intermittently in the lobby (with wifi access) for the bulk of a rainy afternoon while I waited for my very late night flight. He intermittently offered me tea/coffee and even a piece of chocolate.

NepalA lot of the power points in room were dodgy. It was hard to find somewhere to charge my phone. Its also very loud at night from the music across the road.
Breakfast was good. Staff are all very friendly and helped with everything I needed. Ram especially was very good. He brought me tea while waiting for my taxi. Location is very central. Good value for money.

A really nice breakfast spread of both western and Nepali food. The rooms are basic but there’s aircon. They provide bottled water to drink which is a nice touch.

AustraliaThere is nothing the staff here won't to to make your stay as comfortable as possible! I have been coming here for 7 years now - and for good reason. Last time (2019) we stayed, my partner had a medical emergency, and the two men at reception not only helped lift him in a taxi to get to the hospital, they also help me get to and from there safely. They really are so kind, so hospitable and so generous. Hotel Access all they way!

CanadaThe streetside room on the fourth floor was slightly noisy. The patio door did not close completely which prevented us from blocking out the sounds of the city. No matter though as we had earplugs at the ready!
What my partner and I liked most about our stay was the breakfast, the staff, and the location. Breakfast was included in our booking and we could not have been more pleased with the selection and the quality of the food. If you are vegan, vegetarian, or an omnivore; Hotel Access will satisfy any of your dietary needs. There was chicken sausage, curry, chow mein, fresh fruits, coffee, tea, hashbrowns, pancakes, and much more. The staff ensured that all our needs were met, whether it be arranging a ride to the airport, providing fresh sheets after accidently spilling orange on them, or even lending us a scale to ensure our checked baggage would meet airline requirements; we were well taken care of. Last the location could not have been more perfect, right in the heart of Thamel Kathmandu. Food was not only available at the hotel, but were spread out only a stones throw away. A dizzying array of shops selling any good you could imagine were plentiful. ATMs were adjacent to the hotel, and cultural sights were a short walk away. You would be wise to choose Hotel Access as your gateway to the capital of Nepal, don't think twice!
