Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. They look after you and make you feel very comfortable. The location is just great, just some steps away from busy Thamel area but close enough to get everywhere at a walking distance.

CanadaLimited options for food offered by the hotel, and room/bathroom were "clean enough".
The owner and its employees are very, very nice and helpful. The location is very close to the busy part of Thamel, but not too close, meaning it is quiet but still close to all the good restaurants of Thamel. Roof terrace is nice, too.

The location was perfect (a bit tricky to find the first time though). Just across the road from Thamel, so quiet, but close to everything. The staff were super friendly and Saput (the owner) was so kind, patient and helpful. I arrived with no plans and he sat with me with a map to help me organise my time in Nepal. As an older solo traveller, the place was safe, calm, and very chill. Definitely not a party or super social hostel/hotel

MexicoNothing, everything works perfect
Location is perfect; in a quiet alley close to Thamel road, shops and restaurants, easy access to all atractions of the city walking or by public transport. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable, breakfast was simple but enought. The best part is the staff's attention, they were always kind and so helpful, specially saput the manager, he helped me to get around and plan all my activities and transports. I would definitely come back and recommend it

We had a big and comfortable room withe a great view over Kathmandu. There was always hot water but the pressure was not that strong. The hot water came slow.

If you want to discover the true Nepal from the heart then do yourself a favour and stay at Avalon House. Saput, his family and his lovely staff go above and beyond for their guests, they treat you as part of their own family. Immaculately clean rooms, great shower and the best rooftop terrace in Kathmandu. Perfect for looking out at the valley and mountains. You can hear the birds chirping! Location is perfect, a 1 minute walk to the busy part of Kathmandu Thamel but no traffic or noise once at Avalon house. Very close to all different shops and restaurants. It can be stressful with all the different tour agencies however Saput sat us down to explain all the options. Saput used to be a mountain guide so he has great knowledge of routes to suit your interests and time constraints. We booked our Annapurna Base Camp trek through Saput and it was the best decision we made. Our guide Rupes made the trek our favourite to date. His knowledge of the mountains combined with his humour and conversation made it the most enjoyable time. Saput was in regular conversation with us to check how we were going throughout our time in Nepal. I can’t rate Avalon house highly enough. Please stay here, you’ll fall in love with Nepal, I can’t recommend this more ! Thank you so much for having us :)

United StatesReally, really enjoyed my stay at Avalon house! Our host was so kind. I arrived with some friends but spent my last two days in Kathmandu alone. One of the nights that I stayed by myself our host waited up late for me to ensure that I made it home safely even though I hadn't asked him to. Really loved the rooftop patio as well, my friends and I enjoyed spending time up there together. The rooms were a little bit more expensive than some of the other hostels in Tamel but you get what you pay for. The breakfast is very good and several of the rooms are very spacious!
