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...).

PortugalThe location is perfect: it is in noisy Thamel but in a quiet street. The staff is very friendly and helpful(special thanks to Preakchya). I liked to have breakfast on the rooftop. My room was very big, with comfortable beds and pillows. They provided bottled water everyday and the breakfast was good.

IsraelI really like the room; comfortable with everything that you need. The best things about the hotel is the workers. I am beyond greatful for the workers in the lobby, the cleaners and the ones helping with the breakfast on the roof. One of the workers named Preakchya was so kind and helpful and she cared for everything I needed and more!

United StatesI had a wonderful stay at Himalayan Ghar! The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, especially with organizing treks and tours. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, providing a perfect place to relax after a long day. The location is great, making it easy to explore the city, and the price is very reasonable for the quality of service. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kathmandu!

NetherlandsThe breakfast is a bit limited, but the location on the roof with a view over Kathmandu makes up for it.
Himalayan Ghar hotel is a small but cozy hotel. Despite being located in the very busy Thamel district, it is located in a quiet dead end street. As a result, you absolutely do not have the idea that you are staying in a busy city. The rooms are spacious and clean. In the bathroom, nothing is missing in terms of amenities. Wonderful hot shower. However, what stands out in this hotel is the friendliness of the staff. The ladies of housekeeping are always cheerful and have time for a friendly chat every morning. But the ladies Preakchya and Sreesty are absolutely top. Because I lost my suitcase at the airport and my trekking started, the ladies made sure that my suitcase was neatly in the hotel 5 days later. Even though they had to go to the airport 3 times for this. Nothing is too much for them. In short, an excellent location for your stay in Kathmandu.

ItalyIts in a central location, right next to many restaurants and nightlife but being in a back alley its very peaceful and quiet. No noise from cars and people, only the sound of birds in the morning. I loved the kindness of the staff, especially Sreesty and Preakchya who were always present, gave me many advices and helped out a lot.

SwitzerlandIt is a little bit loud during the night as it is close to the center.
As there were some maintenance problems in the hotel, we had to go to hotel Thamel (they belong together ). The transfer was well organized. The new hotel was very good. Great staff. The food there is amazing. They have the best Masala tea and cookies. :) also their inhouse tour agency is very good. thank you very much

AustraliaThe BEST hotel in Kathmandu!!! Right in Thamel but down a very quiet side street so you have an oasis to retreat to away from the hustle and bustle. The staff are the most helpful hotel staff ever. Especially Krishna, Sussil, Ajit and everyone else (too many to name, everyone is so lovely). I would recommend this hotel to anyone. We came back twice and every time felt like we were coming home to family.

United KingdomConveniently located in central Thamel but in a quiet location. Venture around the hustle and bustle of Thamel throughout the day and come back to the quietish rooms in Himalayan Ghar to sleep in comfortable beds at night. Friendly and attentive staffs. We extended 3 more nights on top of our 14 nights we had initially booked. Overall we had a great experience staying here. We will definately be back.

New ZealandThere is nothing really here to mention.
Himalayan Ghar is a quiet place away from the busy, loud, vibrant streets in Thamel, Kathmandu. The manager Krishna was outstanding and very helpful while we stayed for 9 nights, Krishna organised interesting tours and comfy transport and made sure we understood (my wife is Deaf) and were safe and looked after. We really felt in good hands. The other staff we met during our stay also deserve a compliment, such as Manish, Buddha, Sonit, Sandip, Ayush and Ajit. Their warm smiles and welcome make all the difference. I am sorry I forgot the names of the lovely female staff. Josje and Flip New Zealand

United KingdomWe booked Himalayan ghar for 4 nights based on the reviews. I must say it was more than worth it. It’s located in the heart of Thamel area close to a lot of landmarks. Lots of restaurants close by. I was in touch with the hotel before I arrived with Mr Krishna Giri, its manager. He was extremely good with communicating back promptly and answered all my queries regarding local trips, must-do and must-see activities and places. This made it easy for us to plan our days in Kathmandu well in advance. we were made to feel very welcome once we arrived. From there on, Mr. Krishna was our go-to man. He was extremely polite, informative and helpful. He suggested some very good restaurants, places to visit and experiences in Kathmandu. He was only a message or phone call away to get any information you wanted. He even lent us his our own personal money when we were a little short of Nepali rupees for the zip line experience. That goes to show the extent of how welcoming and hospitable host he was. He arranged local trips for us with great ease. In all we had a wonderful stay at Himalayan ghar and would definitely come back here if I got another chance. I would definitely recommend Himalayan ghar for its location, great friendly staff and homely stay 😊

United KingdomThe only thing was the sofas in the apartment were very small and uncomfortable specially if you come here with young kids and are wanting to enjoy a drinks or two whilst sitting on the sofa to unwind once your kids are asleep. An upgrade to a better and more comfier sofas could do a great deal of wonder to this fabolous place.
We had a great time staying at Himalayan Ghar. Staffs were exceptional as they were all very friendly and hospitable. Had a little issue at the very start of our stay but the manager Krishna dealt with it promptly to ensure all our requirements were met. Communication was top notch throughout our stay. It's in a nice quaint cul de sac away from the hustle and bustle yet stones throw away from the main Thamel centre which makes it ideal for solo, group or people travelling with their families. Housekeeping was attended as per your requirement by two lovely ladies who were always so friendly. Kitchen staffs were very attentive and anything we ordered were delightful. We also found it to be helpful to order our breakfast 10-15 mins beforehand to give the staffs enough time to prepare. Breakfast was served at the roofspace where you could enjoy cup of coffee along with fruits, yogurt, toasts, banana bread etc accompanied by the view of the picturesque mountains whilst you wait for your main breakfast. Also, the front desk staffs were every so friendly and were always there to meet and greet everytime you left the hotel or came back to the hotel. Overall, we had a lovely time staying here and will definately be back. Thank you to the whole team for the great service.
