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...).

GermanyCommon thing in Nepal, water in shower is using solar heating, so it might not get very hot in the morning/evening. But only a minor issue.
Great location close to the Fewa lake, calm environment, nice chill area in the garden. Staff also helped with airport taxi drop arrangement.

IrelandIt has been over a month since we stayed at Gaurishanker and we still cannot stop talking about much we loved it here! It's one of those places you want to keep a secret, but just can't help telling everyone about. It has such a special atmosphere - it's a cosy haven in a perfect location. Although the rooms are not modern, they are spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The communal areas for hanging out are so perfect, you'll never want to leave. The coffee they serve is the most delicious coffee ever and so reasonably priced. We didn't want to check out (but they were all booked up - you can see why) and we can't wait to return! A special mention for am/pm café across the road, where we had amazing smoothie bowls every morning and the gorgeous resident dog who is the sweetest ever!

Singapore- lack of a fan in the dorm so it was quite hot on warm nights - solar heating for the shower which means that if you shower too late, you may not get a hot shower - the female dorm has a huge window which I wasn’t used to (people from other buildings could potentially look in) but after awhile I got used to it - if you prefer quiet/early nights, do note that people do chat/play music till 11pm, 12am - there’s construction just beside the hostel that starts at 7am - would prefer a bit more security for the individual dorms.. different people walked in to check on things/take their things that they had left behind in the room
- location: near tourist bus stop (20min walk) and Lakeside - the vibes of the communal area, especially at night.. if you like the hostel experience and meeting new people, this is perfect! everyone (staff and other travellers) were all friendly - helpful staff - clean and comfortable bed. great blanket for cold nights - personal light and charging point for each bed - super good value for money

IndiaAmazing place and people. The staff: Pramod, Kuldeep, Prarthana were so so amazing, welcoming and helpful that it just made me feel good everytime I was here. They literally helped me out with everything I needed and ensured I had a good time. The ambience of the place, the central courtyard is such a lovely vibe to interact with people or work or just to enjoy your time. The room too was very neat and clean. I would surely comeback and stay here whenever I visit.
