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.).

BangladeshThe hotel is more suitable for family than friends. The common space was on the rooftop and it wasn’t very nice.
The location is right at the centre of Thamel, so everything was easily accesible. The rooms were clean and they had hot water during the day.

GermanyHot water is not consistently available, at least in January, but the staff will help find ways around it.
The location is top. Great hospitality by the owner and the staff who were very accommodating with every request. Helpful tips about where to eat, exchange money, or get warm clothes - all of which checked out to be solid recommendations! The rooftop is beautiful and a great spot to catch the sun in the morning!

New ZealandNothing, the room suited us fine.
Really enjoyed our stay, hotel in a great location amongst the bustle of Thamel, staff are all lovely and very helpful. Room is basic, but great value for Kathmandu. Had ensuite bathroom and water was hot. We are able to leave our luggage there while we go trekking, so we will be going back.

NetherlandsAt the time of writing it is already December and temperatures drop to small single digits at night (Celsius, that is). The room has no heating and can become cold as well. When you know this, you can prepare and dress accordingly so this shouldn't be a big problem. Wet clothes or towels don't dry during the day so should be hanged outside. My room was on the top floor and the water pump had trouble getting hot water all the way up. I had my fair share of cold showers. The owner assured me he is aware and working on the problem. He even offered me a room at a lower level where the water was warmer. I didn't mind and refused politely. Thamel is a place where lots of parties happen at night. Loud bass booms reach easily into the room so bring good earplugs with you.
The owner is doing absolutely everything in his power to make your stay as comfortable as possible. He checks in on you on every occasion he gets. The location in the heart of Thamel is perfect for shops, bars, restaurants and a very lively area in general. My room was very spacious for one person, came with two single beds, a sofa, was clean and offered enough options to hang towels and clothes. The value for money is great.

IndiaCleaning can be improved.
The location of the hotel is great, it is very conveniently located in Thamel near best restaurants, bars and nightlife . Kathmandu Durbar square is also very close from here , about 10 minutes of walk. For the price of about 10 dollers , this was a great find. Staff is very nice and tried their best to make our stay comfortable.

IrelandIt’s a budget hotel, but some issues were simply unacceptable. We missed our sunrise at Nagarkot because there was no cold water in the morning—only scalding hot water. At another time, there was no hot water at all, just freezing cold water. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable, causing backaches, neck pain, and overall discomfort. In short, it’s okay for a single-night stay, but I wouldn’t recommend staying any longer.
Both Aryan and sairam were amazing to us..
