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.).

United StatesIt was very difficult to find the location off the street. They need a better sign on the street that makes it easier to find.
The location was right outside the tourist area of Kathmandu, so it was nearby but quieter than the central area. The room was large, clean, and had good facilities. The staff were helpful and spoke English well.

BelgiumThis was the second time we stayed at Himalayan Ghar, because we like it so much. And we will always vote for this hotel again, whenever we are in Kathmandu. The staff act as friends. The rooms with huge balcony are spacious, quiet, comfortable and clean. Tasty breakfast with a wide variety of choices is served on the rooftop with sweeping views over Kathmandu. The location is perfect, in central Thamel. Highly recommended.

United StatesNothing, everything was great!
I liked EVERYTHING about my stay at Himalayan Ghar!!! First, my room was so luxurious, large, comfortable, very, very clean and had so many wonderful amenities! Regarding the food, I could see it is made with GREAT CARE AND IS SO DELICIOUS, and the breakfast buffet is out-of-this world YUMMY, has a variety of different breakfast foods and is just like HOMEMADE! Above all, though, I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE STAFF at Himalayan Ghar. When I was there, it included: ~sensational Suzan 🤩 ~marvelous Minakshi 🤩 (whose scarf I will cherish forever!) 🌹🌹🌹 ~notable Navin 🤩 ~delightful Devendra 🤩 (who is the manager and who I see with my own eyes does an EXCEPTIONAL job in making guests, comfortable) ~awesome Amrit 🤩 ~bright and beautiful Bishnu 🤩 ~and the 2 heavenly, happy and hardworking housecleaning ladies who cleaned my room 🤩🤩 (I know there are other staff who I did not get to know, and I say thank you to them, too, for making my stay so wonderful! 🙏🙏🙏) The staff I mentioned above are SO PROFESSIONAL YET WARM AND FRIENDLY TO ME!!! I will always remember each of them, as they showed me the TRUE SPIRIT OF THE NEPALI PEOPLE — hard-working, humble, resilient, so helpful to others and who give THEIR 100 PERCENT IN MAKING LIFE WORK!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 (To the owners of Himalayan Ghar, I hope the staff get BIANNUAL SALARY INCREASES, as when they are being taking care of $$$ and can help take care of their families, they will give back EVEN MORE to the hotel.) I want to say THANK YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME (the taxi pickup was terrific, too!), and please each of you TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELVES, TOO. And I wish for you throughout your life: GOOD HEALTH, ABUNDANCE, AND INNER HAPPINESS AND PEACE 🕊🕊🕊 (which we do by keeping OUR MINDS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT and not the crazy, outside ego-world… 😘😘😘) GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN!!! 🙏🙏🙏 To possible future guests at Himalayan Ghar, you can see I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying at this hotel (and apartments! 🥂💝🙏

GermanyWe didn't like the many pigeons outside close to the balcony and bathroom window. Our room did not correspond to the photos as shown on booking.com
Perfect location, i.e. very calm yet also very close to busy Thamel. The hotel's highlight is the roof top terrace where we had a tasty breakfast with fantastic views over Kathmandu. Even in December it was not too cold to sit outside. We had a nice room with a big, modern bathroom. Unfortunately we could not use the balcony, due to the many pigeons. Very nice and helpful staff.

GermanyOur room was clean and had everything we needed. The hotel staff was very friendly. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace, which we found very nice. The bathroom was large and modern, but a bit smelly. The room was a bit cold at night (but we were there at the end of November). We liked it at the Himalayan Ghar and can absolutely recommend the accommodation.

United KingdomBarking dogs at night - but that is common everywhere.
A lovely small hotel in a quiet lane but easy walking to Thamel and the old town. We took an apartment which was very spacious and comfortable and provided a “home from home” for a few days. All the staff were friendly and helpful and , when they learned it was my wife’s birthday, really pulled out the stops with a cake, balloons and decoration. The rooftop provides a great oasis to sit and relax as well as the eating area: great home-made Mo-mos and a varied and tasty breakfast. We stayed here before and after trekking and would happily go back. Devendra, the manager, also helped organise a trip to Pokhara and was frequently on hand to help in any way he could, as were all the staff.
