How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It was a good experience staying at Thamel Grand Hotel. The staff were very friendly. I had to leave early in the morning, and they packed breakfast box for me to take on the road. They have provided breakfast. The location was good to walk around town and east access to everything. Couples of things to consider, 1) no elevator for big luggage to 2nd or 3rd floor. 2) When shower, the bathroom becomes very wet be ware of toilet paper also get wet.

The toilet seat needed replacing and the view from the balcony was very poor. I was there for 6 nights but my room wasn't cleaned.
All of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure I had a comfortable stay. I really appreciated the lovely welcome drink and the lovely girl on reception, Karuna, made me welcome straight away and talked me through the best things to see in the area. Every day karuna and the other lovely boy at reception advised me well on where to go and how to get there. The location of the hotel is perfect as it is close to all the shops, bars and restaurants in Thamel. The breakfast each morning at the hotel restaurant was absolutely delicious!

Some elements of the room are quite basic, but it's a budget hotel so that'a to be expected. The sheets had stains on, and it took 5-10 mins to get hot water from shower. These weren't massive issues though and I still would recommend the place overall.
Good location on the edge of Thamel and near the tourist bus area. The staff are super nice, friendly and helpful - that's the best thing about the place imo! Good value for money for the area. Would recommend for a good value budget stay.

- Walls between the rooms are a little thin. - No elevator.
- Centrally located in Thamel. Close to everything you need (bars/restaurants, gift shops, money exchanges, ATMs, trekking equipment shops). - Great restaurant attached to the hotel with a wide array of food options and excellent service. - Very good value for money and breakfast included in room rate.

Hotel was G+5 Building and the worst part was being such a attractive property they don't have lift. That was the biggest Minus point of the Property. Otherwise everything was perfect and up-to-date.
I liked The Hospitality of Staff. Manager Buddha was super Helpful from Booking Car for sightseeing to assisting for local market. They were very Welcoming and gave welcoming drink as well. The most amazing thing about this property was their Restaurant cum cafe which served Delicious Breakfast and evening the vibe was amazing with packed guest. Location was good as well. I would definitely recommend this property to Everyone.
