How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Hardly anything.
The staff is absolutely marvellous. They are helpful and helped arrange my private car hire to go to the destinations i wanted to visit. Also arranged for my bus ticket to Pokhara. The food was simple but tasty. My favourite was the hot lemon juice with ginger and honey. Haven’t tasted any better anywhere. The location is excellent if you want to go to lumbini. Quiet street. The walled garden is a beautiful and calm place to relax. You need mosquito repellent though.

I was happy with my experience there.
The property is across the street from the temple complex. The hotel has everything I needed. I did walk around the town, but ended up using the hotel for food and drinks. The staff spoke a little English, so I was very thankful for that. The manager answered many of my questions and was very helpful.

Rooms could use a little fragrance. There was a mild smell of smoking, it could have been the room or from the window facing outside.
The staff was very courteous, the lady at the reception was exceptionally nice and made sure we had what we needed.

Food was inconsistent. Seemed to depend on if there was a tour group staying at the hotel. Coffee choices were fancy espresso machine or powdered instant --no basic brewed. Curries or thali needed 45 min to prepare. I understand why but still it was easier to go out to the street.
Excellent location right at gate 5. Friendly kind helpful personable staff.

It is located just a few meters away from the gate that leads to Maya Devi temple. The hotel is very clean and safe , and the staff is very friendly and supportive. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a simple but good accommodation during your stay in Lumbini

The electricity kept cutting out but that wasn’t the fault of the hotel it was exceptionally bad because of the storm
We visited this hotel for one night during the terrible rain that led the floods in late September 2024. As a result we spent a lot of time in the hotel and felt very much at home! The food in the restaurant was really nice, and the staff treated us like family. Komala in reception was exceptionally helpful, organising a taxi for us to leave to another town the day after and making sure he knew to drive safely in the rain. She even told us to call her after we left if there were problems. The room was cosy and clean and had everything we needed. The location was just what we wanted, next to an entrance to the park and close to the maya devi temple. We really felt safe there during a scary time so thank you so much!

There is nothing to not like about Hotel Ananda.
Prompt response to pre travel queries was extremely helpful for my trip planning. Their moto is along the lines of customer satisfaction and the friendly, helpful staff live up to this. The location is excellent - across the road from an entry gate to the Maya Devi temple. My room was tidy and comfortable.
