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.).

BelgiumUsually in hostels the staff is very open, chatty, here I felt they were a bit more down to business. Nothing negative, just an observation.
Very cool hostel right next to Thamel. Lovely rooftop with the view. Comfy beds and air con heating (we were in Jan and it gets colder at nights).

United KingdomShower took quite a while to warm up but it got there in the end, bathroom smelled a little bit was clean, the guy at the front desk was a bit grumpy, power sockets in our room stopped working on our last night, toilet didn’t flush when we arrived but someone fixed it straight away!
Great hostel! We absolutely loved our time here, we met some amazing people, the room was very clean and comfortable, location is amazing (in Thamel but quiet), the food was tasty and the common areas are so nice - the view from the rooftop is incredible! We would definitely come back!

AustraliaI stayed in the girls dorm downstairs, so noise from the bar until all hours of the night meant it was often loud in our room...also hear the staff arriving and talking loudly early in the morning and smells and smoke from the kitchen sometimes. Some of the guests in the dorm were really rude, leaving their bed lights on all night until 3am or even 7am in the morning, so the light was always shining into my bed when I want to sleep. There should be a sign or instructions for these people that says quiet time between 10am and 7am and turn your light off if you are not in the room, for example. It should be common sense, but some people don't seem to care about others at all unfortunately.
A friendly sociable hostel, great for meeting new people and making new friends. Wonderful kind and friendly staff. The most comfortable bed I have ever had in any dorm anywhere in the world. Amazing hot showers. The restaurant there also has some tastey food options, if somewhat more expensive than other places around the city.

Braziltheir price is double the average in Kathmandu so I was expecting more. the 8-bed room is cramped with too many beds and gets too hot, stuffy and no space to breathe. Also no locker for me… for 1 dollar more I found a private suite in a hotel in Thamel and it was much better than staying here
very nice bar/restaurant with good quality food and good prices. I occasionally came back to eat at their restaurant.

GermanyI stayed in the female dorm. While it had a good size, the room was quite dark and did not have a window facing outside. When I arrived the staff was still cleaning and I had to walk across a pile of old bed linen to get into my room. You have to pay 100 extra for towels.
The location was wonderful, close to Thamel and some great restaurants. The room and facilities were clean. Beds are pretty comfortable and spacious. The curtains give you some extra privacy. While I shared the dorm with 9 more people, they were all very respectful, so I was able to get a good rest.
