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...).

United StatesEverything was great and beyond my expectation. Nothing really.
The hotel was centrally located and easy to get to. The staffs were cooperative and very friendly. The hotel was very clean with comfortable beds and hot water in the shower. The WiFi was great as well. I loved the nice open garden where they had a breakfast buffet with live omelette station included with the price. I would definitely stay here again. Overall it was a great value for money and the service beyond my expectation.

SlovakiaThe hotel manager as well as his other colleagues were super nice. They helped us with our questions regarding our stay in Kathmandu and Nepal in general. Most importantly, the hotel mamager helped us with rebooking our flight ticket to Lukla on a very short notice, which was a great help as we were getting no response on our email from the flight company. We definetely recommend the hotel.

NepalTrust nothing really.
HOTEL BUDDHA is one of the best hotels in the city center OF THAMEL Kathmandu, here where the luxury facilities and budget prices can be together. I have booked a room for one night but I stayed there for three nights because I loved their rooms and facilities and services. The room was big and very well decorated. In the room almost whatever I needed, air-condition TV, electric water boiler tea and coffee, wooden floor.The bathroom was very big and clean with cold and hot water, also a hair dryer, bath mat, hand towels and bath towels. I love the open garden restaurant, quiet to have some coffee and read books especially in the afternoon, or even have beer or drink some in the evening. The restaurant food very good and the prices are similar to nearby coffee shops, but with good environment. The staff of this hotel they really care about their guests, and because of the quality of the service you will feel that you are the only guest in this hotel, but you are not. The teams of the front office and the restaurant they are trained very well, they made me stay very comfortable.

IndiaHot water is not easily available. This is one thing I would recommend the hotel to work on. But personally for me, it's not a deal breaker.
This is my go to hotel in Kathmandu. The staff greets with you with very warmly and go out of the way to make sure you have a comfortable stay. It's got everything a good budget hotel needs. My girlfriend and I have both stayed here while traveling individually and love it. Great location, good breakfast and responsive and lovely hosts! Definitely recommend. Clean rooms, decent wifi and cozy beds.

United StatesFirst thing is elevator. its very difficult to climb on top floor room so need elevator. second this is that breakfast area need to be more clean. in room, there is no mirror so need to add it.
We had exceptional stay at hotel Buddha. Everything was perfect. The location, small garden to chill and read book and most importantly hotel staff and theirs dedication towards service. All the facilities are top notch including Room, hot shower, breakfast and many others. Location wise, it is in central of Thamel. Restaurant, Bar, Book Shops are near by. Highly Recommended.
