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...).

GermanyNice and clean room. Hotel is located centrally in Thamel, yet it’s a quiet location so no construction site noises or loud people on the street could be heard. The personnel was amazingly nice, interested and very supportive in any (special) requests. Great breakfast on the rooftop restaurant with a great view over Kathmandu.

BangladeshIf you are not a party person and going to bed early, you may find the sounds from the bars around a little bit problematic. But we were tired most of the days after the entire day's activities, so the sounds were tolerable as it didn't make much of a problem.
The best thing about this hotel was the location. Located right in the middle of Thamel. You can find restaurants, shops, bars and other facilities in every direction from the hotel. They had a basic option for breakfast (set menu) which was ok. Staffs at the reception and the manager were quite helpful. Rooms were ok. not very spacious but enough for what you'll need.

AustraliaRooms had a very strong smell of cigarettes that seemed to get worse over the day. The bathroom smelt so badly of stale cigarettes that we had to move rooms. The second room smelt better but there was no hot water. The first room we stayed in was extremely loud as it faced onto a nightclub which played music so loudly all night, making it a very uncomfortable night sleep
Staff were friendly and accommodating to changing our room when it was not acceptable due to very bad cigarette smells. Great location

United StatesClean, Convenient and helpful!
The hotel is right in the heart of Thamel. My room was very spacious and clean. I love the rooftop garden. It has a clear view of Swayambunath temple. II wish I had more days to spend my evenings on the rooftop garden, sipping my drinks and eating yummy foods. The staffs were attentive and clean. I had a heart warming conversation with the owner and two other guys. They have been running a school in Mustang which they built twenty some years ago. They also planted over a thousand apple trees in Mustang. All the proceeds from the apple sales helps to pay some of the school expenses. That conversation made my stay more satisfying. Thank You🙏🙏🙏

IndiaThe location was perfect. Easy to roam around and getting transport to various destinations was no trouble. Both Jigme & Tashi were exceptional hosts. Breakfast was simple, tasty and everyday there was a change in the menu. The scrambled eggs with cheese was my favorite. ( eggs were on order) All the food on the menu was very tasty and flavorful. The chicken salad. pizzas and momos were the highlights. The terrace garden and restaurant were tastefully done and had a view. They were very helpful in arranging the tours to various tourist spots. Bhaktapur, Bodha, Chandragiri hills.

Excellent location. Our room was very clean, modern with a spacious bathroom and shower. The extremely polite housekeeping staff did an excellent job....our toiletries, coffee, tea, sugar and 2 bottles of free water were replaced daily. Very good value for money. The highlight was our delicious breakfast in the the rooftop bar which had amazing views of the mountains. The host couple were extremely helpful, engaged us in many long conversations about their Nepalese/Tibetan culture and helped us in organizing our day trips. Our total experience was amazing, wouldn't stay anywhere else. Highly recommend Hotel Excelsior to my fellow travelers.
