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...).

SpainI miss some place to stay where reading, but they are in process to do It.
Very good place to stay in Kathmandu. The staff is very attentive. They help you with everything from the moment you land in Nepal: cab, money exchange, shopping, tours..... The location is ideal. Close to Thamel, the tourist bus station and walking distance to many tourist attractions. The place it's vert quiet and good. There is a little bar very close to the hostel that is very good. The shared room is well organized, with enough space in the personal drawers and the bed is clean and comfortable. Bathroom it's also clean and hot wáter flows well.

BrazilNo hot water for showering (they said was temporary but didnt get fixed within the 10 days i was there). 3 showers for 24 beds, so it gets a bit crowded sometimes. There's just one common area and people are allowed to smoke there, so it's always smelling of cigarettes. If you are a non-smoker and don't want/can't inhale smoke, there isn't really anywhere else to hang out.
They have a kitchen where you can prepare some basic stuff. There's a nice covered area with hammocks and bean bags. Hostel organises family's dinner every Monday and friday. It's about 15-20 min walk to downtown GL where most restaurants are, but there are other (more expensive) options of restaurants within 5min walk and also plenty of small grocery shops. Staff kindly organised a van to drop me at dapa port for 300 pesos. They have generators in case the power goes off. Wifi is good.

FranceRooms would need little improvements, like a small shelf for each bed, or anything to put stuff because we can't. I had to leave everything in my bag and remove everything each time I needed something.
Very close to Thamel and still quiet. Internet connexion is good enough. You can have free drinking water. The water heater in the shower is really nice and very effective. Each bed has its own light and plug, and curtains for privacy.

IndiaThe hostel is very budget friendly one so expect a lot of unmarried backpackers who would make noise all night. No curfew time will ruin your sleep

IranThe female dorm is a very small room without any space and I felt like I couldn't even breath! Dring my 3-day stay, there was a problem with electricity and we had a lot of blackouts which I feared would break my electronic devices. the bathroom wasn't that clean and besides shared space on rooftop, during the blackout everywhere else was completely dark, so I wasn't even sure if I could take a shower.
The beds have curtain, so you have privacy. The shared space is the best place, as it is on rooftop, with lots of light and beautiful paintings and designs.
