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 StatesGreat location at one end of the lake walk. Only issue is the road and bars outside can be a bit loud. Bathroom in the private room ventilated into the room making it humid and stuffy. Overall I’d recommend the place though.

CanadaThis place is awesome! We only stayed here for our last night in Pokhara but wish we had stayed here the entire time. Gorgeous view of the lake and awesome common area. The Cafe downstairs makes delicious cappuccinos and their menu looked great. I felt so relaxed staying here and only a short walk to the main street in Pokhara.

FranceWe had a very bad room for the first night ( humidity, noise, bad laundry) so we had to uppgrade to a better and more expensive room. I felt a little trapped but the new room was not too expensive and very nice so it was a nice experience overall
The place is well located at one end of the lakeside walk

ItalyOne of the best hostels I stayed ever. Clean, chill and excellent facilities. Nice and tranquil location just close to the lake with a nice view from the terrace. The staff is also a big plus, very helpful and polite. You can leave your luggage at the hostel if you are doing any trek. They even had some trekking poles so i didn’t have to buy or rent them. Laundry available and also many transport services to Besisahar, NayapulLumbini, Chitwan and different activities.

Germanygenuinely loved my experience in this hostel. i stayed here for over three weeks, both in the shared and a private room, and would recommend both! the rooms are very clean and the beds very spacious, and the private room has a beautiful balcony with a lake view. the price is super fair too, and the staff is wonderful - ashok did an amazing job assisting me and a friend i made at the hostel when our flights got cancelled due to the weather, calling the airline to get information and making sure we get refunds and the next possible flight! overall, i felt incredibly safe and comfortable and can’t wait to come back the next time im in pokhara.

AustraliaIt's a noisy neighbourhood until about 10pm, then the music stops. The dorm room upstairs is more spacious than the girls dorm, but cigarette smoke from the common room somehow finds its way into the room and its much more noisy in there.
The staff were amazing and helpful for everything. The dorm rooms and bathrooms were always clean and the view of the lake from the common room made the space a really nice place to relax and meet other people.

United KingdomEverything! You must stay in this hotel if you are in Pokhara. The location by the lakeside is quiet and peaceful, plus some rooms and the common space have an amazing view of the lake. The rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable, best mattress to sleep on, nicely decorated, 24 hour hot shower, modern bathrooms. We stayed in private rooms but the dorm rooms looked really nice too with big bunk beds. Wifi works excellently too and you can easily work there. The highlight of this hotel though was the staff! A young team who were so hospitable, booking us our buses, taxis, cable car to sagarnot (MUST DO at sunrise) all at no extra cost. They were so friendly, especially Kushal and Ashok who gave us advice for our first trek. You can leave your luggage safely there in storage during your trek as long as you stay one night on your return, which I think is very fair. The breakfast was also delicious and affordable - we had avocado on toast, coffee and smoothie bowls and they were all yum.

AustraliaNot ideal if you have food intolerances, but there's safe food places very close by. The bathroom door was a bit noisy so difficult to be quiet. Very little to complain about, really liked it.
Loved the beds with little curtains. Loved the staff- they were SO nice, kind, and helpful. I Loved the location- its on the edge of likeside but that is exactly what I was after- close enough to a few nice places, walking distance but outside main part. Social space was great with hammock. Female dorm was nice, personal locker available, cleaned everyday. So greatful.
