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...).

IndiaSome facilities were not there like in winters an electric kettle is necessary... Hangers were not there to hang clothes. In the bathroom some racks are necessary to put certain bathroom accessories... Bucket n mug are necessary which are not available. These things are a loop hole of the place otherwise it was an excellent place to stay.
Hostel ambition was too excellent ... Very clean from inside to outside ... Their welcoming behaviour was excellent... Uncle and their family members were good in nature... very cooperative and helpful. The location was excellent. I love the stay ... Very positive and high energy place to stay.

Located just down from Centre Point so easy to navigate to. Off the main Lakeside road so a bit quieter. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Has a work station if needed. Good a/c. We had a deluxe room and it had a balcony with a view of the lake and maybe the mountains (unfortunately we had cloudy rain). Washing (machine) service available (cost same as other places). Good restaurants nearby.

NetherlandsBest hostel I stayed in Pokhara, and I tried a few. Very spacious and clean rooms. Super comfortable beds. The owners are always so kind. Great location right in the centre of lakeside Pokhara, the street itself is more quiet which is great since there is not much noise at night. Showers might take a few min before getting warm but there is hot water, which is nice. It was not busy when I stayed there, I had the whole dorm to myself. Ended up staying way longer than planned, because I felt so at home here!

GermanyI think 2 toilets and showers for the whole floor could be too less if fully booked. Also there wasn’t always toilet paper. It’s cool that there was a mini fan at each bed, but you could either use that or charge your phone.
Location was great, quite central but still quiet. Rooms were spacious & clean, beds comfortable. Would stay here again 100%

IndiaI had a late night check in, but the host's family were very kind and accommodating. I felt very well taken care of at this hostel. The dormitory room was very spacious and cozy at the same time, apart from being very neatly set up and clean too. There was plenty of natural light, ventilation and a fabulous view. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly, and very comfortable to use. It was the finest hostel experience I have had anywhere in the world so far. And it came with great warmth from the hearts of the host Bishnu and his family.
