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...).

RussiaBig beautiful rooms, many windows, some retro old fashioned pieces of furniture and accessories. Breakfast was very delicious. Even though it was small but there was everything and you can order by the menu. The French restaurant is amazing! After Indian food I so much wanted to eat Mediterranean cuisine. White fish was cooked perfectly and onion soup!!! I want to thank beautiful and welcome ladies on reception (I forgot the names, but will upload the photo.

United StatesThe sauna did not work. Also, many of the niches were missing statues which was most unfortunate. The ones that had were not very expensive so I don't know why they are all empty. Makes the place look not finished. In our 3 night stay, we never did meet the manager. I expected him to check in on us.
The 3 young ladies at the front desk Sudikshya, Abhipsa and Sweety were always available with smiling faces. They also were able to get us an upgrade at a reasonable price. Breakfast was excellent as was the general decor of the property. The ladies also assisted us in getting local cabs for touring! Thank you Sukikshya, Abhipsa and Sweety.

Wonderful staff of the hotel. The hotel itself is amazing which opens a window to history of Nepal. It inspires you to learn more about the art and history of Nepal. This is truly heritage hotel of Nepal. It is clean with nice breakfast. Lovely fishes in the center of the hotel yard calm your mind. I am grateful that I met Abhipsa, Sudikshya, and Sweety- they are excellent managers with people skills working at the registration. They are very helpful to help anytime and talk about their culture and traditions.

This enchanting hotel became my haven during my month-long escapade in Nepal, marking my third delightful stay. Returning to this exquisite establishment after each adventure felt like coming home, and it's a testament to the unparalleled hospitality that defines Baber Mahal Vilas From the moment I arrived, the hotel manager extended warmth and generosity that exceeded all expectations. The constant surprises of room upgrades and thoughtful gifts created an atmosphere where I truly felt special and embraced. The genuine care for my comfort and well-being was evident in every interaction. The staff's kindness extended beyond gestures, as they proved to be an invaluable resource for my explorations. Their unwavering assistance in booking events, hiring cars, and arranging tour guides streamlined my entire experience. The level of attentiveness displayed by the hotel team was nothing short of extraordinary. As my time in Nepal drew to a close, the hotel team orchestrated a grand finale – a breathtaking mountain flight over the Himalayas. Witnessing the majestic Mt Everest was the perfect crescendo to my journey, and it was made possible by the hotel's thoughtful planning. This unexpected and unforgettable gesture encapsulated the essence of their commitment to creating seamless and beautiful memories for their guests. In summary, Baber Mahal Vilas is not just a place to stay; it's a retreat where you're treated like royalty. The combination of exquisite service, genuine kindness, and a commitment to making every moment extraordinary sets this hotel apart. Without a doubt, I will return to relish in the regal experience offered by Baber Mahal Vilas and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow travellers seeking a touch of luxury in the heart of Nepal.

"Baber Mahal Vilas: A Majestic Retreat in Kathmandu with Exceptional Service" My recent stay at Baber Mahal Vilas in Kathmandu was nothing short of regal, marking my second visit to this exquisite establishment. From the moment I arrived, the staff displayed an unparalleled commitment to guest satisfaction. One notable highlight was the generous room upgrade, a testament to the hotel's dedication to providing a superior experience. The gesture elevated my stay, showcasing the hotel's commitment to going above and beyond to ensure guest comfort. What sets Baber Mahal Vilas apart is not only its luxurious accommodations but also the unwavering assistance provided by the staff. Even during periods when I wasn't officially checked in, the staff remained remarkably helpful. Their continuous support, facilitated through WhatsApp communication, exemplified a level of customer service that transcends the ordinary. The historical significance of the Baber Mahal Vilas, formerly a castle, adds an extra layer of charm to the experience. Staying within its walls feels like stepping into a bygone era, and the attention to detail in preserving the architectural heritage is commendable. The ambiance is nothing short of royal, making guests feel like true dignitaries during their stay. Beyond the physical grandeur, the staff's commitment to service excellence was evident in every interaction. Their genuine desire to ensure a seamless and enjoyable stay was palpable, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. In conclusion, Baber Mahal Vilas in Kathmandu is a gem that combines historic charm with modern luxury. From the room upgrade to the continued support via WhatsApp, the hotel surpassed my expectations in every aspect. For those seeking a stay where every detail is attended to with care, Baber Mahal Vilas is undoubtedly the epitome of opulence and service in the heart of Kathmandu.

Great staff and Shyam did a great tour of the complex and even got me a rub for my chest to help my cold. A special place. They also organised a nice car and an English speaking guide for a tour at a good price.

Bangladesh1) Complimentary tea/coffee did not come with any creamer/milk. 2) Although it is nice to have a chef prepare fresh breakfast items on spot but it is also important that hand gloves are used when handling food. I saw the chef pulling something (dirt most likely) out from bread loaves with his bare hands and trust me it does not look good.
Loved the elegance, cleanliness and hospitality. The staff served us to the best of their ability. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning and we enjoyed our stay.
