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...).

SwedenA little to hard mattress!
The breakfast was absolutely delicious, it was very easy to make friends, en-suite bathroom in the dorm room and the staff was both helpful and really friendly. On top of that they had a guitar to borrow, and a rooftop with a great view both over the city and over some of the mountain peaks!

United StatesThere is no indoors space to lounge except the dorm room.
The room was clean, breakfast is included, and it is in a good location. I felt welcomed when I arrived. The bathrooms are cleaned every day. There are many restaurants to choose from. They offer assistance with booking tours. The hostel provides different activities. My favourite was the hike to visit the Peace Pagoda. All of my questions were answered.

GermanyI stayed at Pokhara Backpackers Hostel twice, both in the 6-bed dorm and a private room. The mattresses are comfy, the showers hot and you get something different for breakfast every single day which is great! It's a social place where it's easy to meet other travellers without being loud, and features an on-site restaurant. The second time I stayed, I was sick. Anup, Sagar and the team took excellent care of me, checking in each day to see how I am, delivering food and drinks to my room and organising a doctor to come see me when it got really bad. I always wondered why people pointed these things out in reviews but after having been sick on my travels before, I've learned it is by no means standard to be looked after as well as I was here. Can definitely recommend this hostel.

Exceeded my expectations. Nice new building tucked away from the main street. High ceilings and big windows. Lots of charging points with good WiFi. We only stayed one night and left early so I can't comment about the breakfast. Good location near the lake.

NepalEverything honestly. The staff has become family to me and my father, the beds are the best ones we had in all of Nepal, warm showers and clean facilities. downstairs they have a social area where you can eat your breakfast and get to know other guests, sometimes they have fun bonfires and social games. Location is great too and anything you are wondering to do the reception staff (anup specifically) can help you get anything done!
