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.).

AustraliaWe were on the top floor and the shower took about 10-15mins to warm up. It was inconvenient at first, but we just knew we needed to turn the shower on a few minutes before getting in.
I liked the commitment of the staff to ensuring we were well looked after and have everything we need. The view of the river meant that we could see crocodiles and different bird life. The bed was big and comfortable. They hotel also organised all the tours for us. It was slightly more expensive, but it worked out well for us. The guides they used were very knowledgeable and we had great conversations about their land.

NetherlandsBreakfast could be better. Also: it needs to be more clearly stated beforehand what is included in the tours (we are glad we got told by other tourists about the elephant breeding center so we could refuse to go as we are very against this).
The location is amazing. Being able to see wildlife from the balcony. Special thanks at the kind man that works in the restaurant for pointing the animals out to us. Also liked the room, spacious and clean.

United KingdomI could feel springs digging into my back on the mattress, could do with replacing. If you book onward bus travel, just make sure you’re getting a decent tourist bus ticket - I booked a bus back to Kathmandu and it was more of a semi-tourist bus that took a long time due to constantly stopping to let people on and off and also let too many people onto the bus and had no AC. Not the hotels fault but just check that you’re being booked onto a decent bus service.
The location is amazing - right on the river with balconies and the restaurant looking into it. you can see wildlife easily and the staff will let you know and point out the animals. The rooms are spacious and clean, I had no issues with the hot water. There is a functioning heater/AC unit. Really great value for money. The restaurant is good, I ate there every day and the food is ok for what you’re paying and lots of choice at breakfast. The gentleman who works in there is just wonderful and so friendly, even remembering how you like your tea! Very short walking distance to the town. The staff can help arrange onward travel.

United KingdomThe property is right by the river with excellent views, especially at sunset. It's like watching the safari from the comfort of your own balcony at a very reasonable price. The waiter at the restaurant, Sitaram, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made our stay that much more pleasant.

We had a very nice time at Jungle Wildlife Camp. You can watch a lot of bird and even rhino from the terrace. The waiter Sitaram is such a nice guy, he always helps you and is very friendly. We did a jungle walk and the guides were very expirienced, so we could see a lot of different animals.

United Kingdom- Didn't have any hot water - may be different in the summer as they have solar heated water tanks - Room could have been cleaner but not a major issue
- Can watch the rhinos across the river from the restaurant and from the balcony outside your room (room 521 has a great view) - Short walk into town where there are lots of restaurants and tour operators etc. - Breakfast simple but enough and starts early so you have time before going on safari - Staff extremely friendly, will come and knock on your door when they see a rhino across the river - Can book safaris through the hotel which are similarly priced to those offered in town

AustraliaDidn’t like that all incidentals at the property were on a tab. There was no clear signage indicating prices for those incidentals. I strongly suggest that if you stay here, you ask for your incidentals bill to be provided in English - not Nepalese - to prevent any misunderstanding. Also strongly suggest that you do not use the laundry services at the hotel, which I understand are outsourced. The prices are *very* high.
Location was fantastic - right on the Rapti River. Sittram, the gentleman who worked in the restaurant/bar was just the best. Anything you needed, he took care of. Came to knock on our door when a rhino appeared on the riverfront. Incredibly hardworking. Incredibly knowledgeable. Five minute walk into town.
