Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

At first the room, I have booked a standard one, was facing to a wall looking like a prision, I felt extremely suffocated there, couldn't sleep properly at first night. Photos/description should be better explained in booking.com I have asked to change room or to upgrade to any other better category, which unfortunately was not able as the hotel was fully booked. However, they managed to next morning to change me to other standard room facing the gardern which was much better than before. Really appreciated. I would fully recommend once you are booking make sure, which type of room you did as reservation, as that will make a big difference in your stay.
The Hotel location is just perfect. The garden, night entartainement with live music. I fully recommend once you are travelling first time to Kathmandu to stay here, as a tourist life and experience would be great and much easier. Easy access and service. Local shoppings around, nice and locals restaurants also just by walking. I felt safety and welcome was a great overall experience. I have stayed in other 3 properties of KGH during my stay, and Guest house was the best. I also have checked other Hotels as International brands as first, as once I have checked in I didn't like the room, but location of Guest House made a total difference.

It was absolutely a great start to our holiday in Nepal. The staff were really friendly and the location was really good. The garden is a very relaxing place in the middle of Thamel. The food in the restaurant is good and the (continental) breakfast made a really good start of the day. I'll recommend this hotel to everyone who wants a luxury feel in Thamel for a reasonable price.

I treated myself to a night at the hotel after backpacking and sleeping in rather basic accommodation. I was initially overwhelmed being there on my own and disappointed with the room as it looked onto a wall, had little natural light and felt tucked away from the main 'action' overlooking the centre courtyard.
Having spoken to the reception three times about relocating to a different room, one of the persons kindly showed me to another room which did overlook the courtyard and kindly helped me move and didn't charge for an additional costs.
