Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe room was great. Comfy bed and amazing shower. However, when we arrived by taxi, we were followed by a man on a motorbike who demanded we paid 1,800 each for the entrance fee to Bhakatpur. This was a surprise to us and not a very good first impression. It would have been nice to be told about this entrance fee before we arrived so we weren’t greeted by an angry man and forced to pay a lot of money that we weren’t expecting. Not the hotel’s fault but maybe they could inform guests about this extra payment before they arrive. Also, the free breakfast was really small and we ended up going out and buying breakfast every day after eating it. Other than that, the hotel was really good.

SpainThe room does not look like the photo but it is clean, compact and not 19 meters in size. Excellent location, pleasant hospitality Please note that the price does not include additional taxes of $ 15 which were not stated in advance This means that the price for taxes is more than double the price of the room

PortugalHonestly, the only thing I didn't enjoy was breakfast. It is very basic and not very tasty in my opinion. They should consider maybe adding a few more options as it felt very limited.
The room matches the pictures and description. It's a bit cold at night but at least the hot water in the shower works great. Wifi was generally good. Within walking distance to Durbar square and very easy to find. The place gets a bit noisy sometimes but if you wear earplugs it should be fine. The young guy working at the reception speaks good English and is very friendly and helpful and he also plays the guitar! Good value for money.

ItalyMy stay at the Hotel Durbar Side has been absolutely precious. Most of all, i appreciated the people working there, they went above and beyond to make my stay as enjoyable as possible, and they always made feel very welcomed. The room was perfect for a five night stay and the breakfast was always delicious. The hotel is just 2 min walk from Durbar Square and in a very beautiful area too, nonetheless it is pretty quiet. Right out of the hotel there are little shops, local places to eat at a reasonable price and everything else is at a short walking distance. I have really appreciated my stay and I would come back, recommended!

IndiaThe toilets in the rooms are extremely small.
Location is great if you like the quiet less crowded sides like bhaktapur. I wish I would’ve found his place earlier and stayed there for the length of my trip which was 15 days. I came there for a second time as the bed is very comfortable and the second room had a kettle and AC. The owner was very kind and caring, he helped me with a friends pick up and showed him around the city while I went to thangka painting class. He also picked me up and dropped me off at the airport, I felt very safe and supported during my stay.
