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.).

SpainDorm is upstairs! So get ready to get to the top of the building every time you arrive! (Good training 🤣). Also on new years day (nepalí one) there was a bit of disorganization with beds and rooms, but I guess it's because of t'he situation
Very cheap, friendly people (they took care of my things when I was trekking) and worth It.

NepalLockers aren't there for now but the owner explained about his plans to include this very soon. It's an affordable and genuinely homely place away from home.
The view from the top floor was breathtaking. The owner was so humble and explained his plans to make this place even better in the coming days. Best wishes.

IndiaThe toilet seats in all the rooms are broken or missing and in one of the rooms, flush doesn't work (make sure to check before taking it)
Amazing value for money! Unbeatable price for the room. Just a family trying to do their best to keep the hostel running to make up losses incurred due to pandemic. The lady was very friendly and helpful. This is also in a pretty good location, although not right on the lakeside, it's very close walking distance away and also from good restaurants. Spacious clean rooms and bathrooms. I stayed in 3 different rooms throughout my stay..before and after my trek.

IrelandWe stayed almost 2 weeks and we really enjoyed the place. The family running the place is very warm, welcoming and helpful. The room and attached bathroom were spacious and clean. The location was perfect near the lakeside but also in a bit more quiet spot. It's very good value in comparison to other places in Pokhara. We could also leave our bags for a few weeks while doing the Annapurna circuit which was really handy. I recommend.

IndiaForest Way Backpackers should definitely be a better choice to solo travellers and family travellers also, the rooms are quite clean and hygiene, the behavior of the owner and her family and also the stuffs are quite hospitable. The rooftop view of lake and mountains are awesome. Price is very reasonable and the services exceeded my expectations.Personally i like this place a lot . You must give a try if you ever come in Pokhara.
