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.).

ItalyPerfect spot walking distance to the Thamel area but tucked away so it’s more quiet. Breakfast in the garden to start off your day with coffee or tea and eggs. Most of all it was the way my friend and I were treated by the staff: always nice, helpful, went out of their way to support my friend that got sick.

GermanyExcellent place if you intend to go trekking. Almost every guest is either going to go trekking or has come back from a trek. One gets lots of information when talking to other guests at breakfast. Luggage can be stored safely for the period of the trek. Staff is very helpful.

United StatesWiFi signal didn't quite reach the room. Didn't seem like a problem in the garden or main building. Speeds were 2 - 7 Mbps.
Great place a 5-10 minute walk from Thamel. Hot shower, delicious breakfast (juice, tea/coffee, eggs, fruit, toast), chill garden and rooftop area, big size rooms, fan to keep cool. The owners helped with bus tickets and even walked us to the right bus in the morning (with an early breakfast too). Grab table to take / leave free items is a nice feature.

United KingdomNo faults at all, everything was great!
As the name suggests, this place is really a home away from home. Khem and the team running Elbrus home made me feel so welcome from the moment i arrived. Assisting me in any way they can. Lovely hot shower, clean room with beautiful views. The garden area has comfortable seating, lots of wildlife and a friendly chicken roaming freely there for the past 8 years! Filtered water is provided for free and there are lots of great cafes and restaurants nearby. Breakfast is simple and wholesome, given in a timely manner and can accommodate vegan and vegetarian diets. Great location, away from the main busy street but close enough to walk to many shops and cafes in the centre. Could not recommend this place more for your stay in Nepal. Thankyou to the team at Elbrus Home, i hope to see you again soon.
