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...).

FranceThe bathrooms were not ideal but good enough for a few days, and they had hot water. The dorms were a bit smelly, not really clean and very loud at night due to the absence of curfew... but overall okay for a few days
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the beds had privacy curtains, and the rooftop was nice.

Czech RepublicPropably the worst bathroom I‘ve encountered in Nepal. Even with the fan it was very hot in the room. Also the staff during my arrival wasn‘t really nice but the other night everything was okay and they gave me some advices on local buses.
The location was nice and the price was okay.

Amazing staff and ambience for backpackers. There is on going some management by the metropolitan government and you might face some wifi issues which is everywhere around KTM. Other than that you will feel home at BigTree.

IndiaThe room was filled with mosquitoes, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. room was unbearably hot, and there was only one small fan that barely provided any reliefThe washroom was absolutely filthy and seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in ages. The stench was unbearable, and I felt uncomfortable using it throughout my stay. I would strongly advise anyone considering this hostel to look elsewhere for accommodation.

IndiaToo many mosquitoes in common areas and toilets. The toilet and bathroom cubicles are small and tight. Have to apply mosquito repellent on your body all the time.. Also the dorm might not be suitable during summers as the shared fan may not be enough to keep you cool.. Luckily summer is short in Kathmandu.
Great location. Nice rooftop terrace area to hangout or exercise. The dorm was comfortable too.

ItalyThe building is in a state of complete disrepair, totally neglected, filthy, dilapidated. The toilets are ridiculously small(and I'm a tiny woman),no toilet paper, the shower hasn't been cleaned in years and has a gas boiler in it, never seen anything like that, water all over it when you shower and smoke coming out, incredible. My dorm was a dungeon, the door can't be closed at all, it's broken like just about everything else. The duvet covers are totally ripped and paper thin, more holes than actual fabric and the duvets are revolting, you wouldn't want to touch them. I asked for a sheet but all covers are in the same state. Dump, dark, noise from the street, stinky, floor covered in plastic, bare painted walls, no plastering. The cafe and bar on the rooftop are decrepit, everything is falling apart, I could go on forever but there's no point, you pay 2.5 USD for a bed and it's worth exactly that. They could clean, fix things, with very little or no money at all they could make the place look really amazing but they obviously don't care, sadly.
When I saw the place I was going to leave but the receptionists were so welcoming and helpful that I stayed. They're great, I really don't blame them for the sorry state of the place. The location is good, close to everything and a bit tucked away from the noise of major roads. My bed had no bed bugs despite the horrific hygiene conditions.
