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...).

SwitzerlandWe stayed before and after our trek, first in a private room that was right next to the neighbouring bar playing music so loud that no earplug could cover it until 11pm. Then I stayed in the mixed dorm and woke up in the middle of the night itching, and found bed bugs on my pillow (and an extra cockroach on the wall). I told the staff the next day and they just said « ok » not seeming to care. We got an apology when we left and they said they would clean.. Also the dorm was very very hot even with the fans on.
Showers had good pressure and hot water, dorm beds are comfortable and big

United KingdomGood location, however the guide organised by the hostel for ABC trek was terrible, so unprofessional, the guide walked 300meter ahead of us on way to ABC summit in poor visibility when I was suffering with altitude sickness, could have saved ourselves $35 a day, and gone without a guide

United KingdomProblem is that the mattresses are very soft, they gave me really bad back pain, and I know I wasn't the only one. Also it's right by the road which can be noisy, and the bar next door plays loud music quite late.
It's s good hostel in most ways, cheap. clean, offers all the services you might need.

NetherlandsNo view from the windows at the backside, very cold and not really inviting. A lot of noise from inside and outside the building especially the music from the neighbours. Because of that I didn’t really like this stay.
I had my own room, the beds were comfortable and the shower nice and warm.

United KingdomThe room was very small and there might as well have been no window because right in front of it was a huge grey wall so there was no natural light. The bathroom would over flow with water easily when having a shower. There was horrible music playing loudly until about 10pm. Don't stay here if you're looking for peaceful, chill vibes. But Pokhara itself also seems very busy and not as chill as expected so not the hotel's fault for this.
Good location near the lakeside and cafes.

Czech RepublicThe night was very uncomfortable since the small fan, which belongs to every bed, was extremely weak that you would not even notice it was working. If you entered the room in the middle of the night, you would have the feeling of no oxygen since it was so hot and no airing.
It was a very beautiful place next to the lake. The staff was friendly. There was potable water for free.

GermanyThe live music from the House of Blues bar over the road was extremely loud until 23:30! If you like poorly- sung Ed Sheeren covers at an ear-splitting volume this is the hostel for you! :(
The hostel was clean and had a nice terrace with hammock and sofas so you could sit back and enjoy the lake views.

ItalyAt my second staying, returning from the trekking, first the staff didn’t mentioned a price increase, and secondly I had an issue when renting a scooter through the hotel. After being charged for the entire day even though it was 1pm, the staff didn’t mentioned that an international license was required. Because of that, beside not being insured in case of accident, I got fined by the police. The owner insisted me to pay as it was my fault, even tough partially their negligence of not mentioning and checking my license. Obviously a not very honest behavior. On a minor note, food isn’t available at the property and loud music from the bar nearby.
I stayed twice, before and after a trekking. In both occasions the place was comfortable and clean.
