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.).

GermanyOne of my favorite stays in all of Nepal! Clean and spacious room, comfy beds, A/C, warm water in the shower 24/7 & mountain views from room & rooftop bar. The common area is great to meet new people and there is a super tasty breakfast served in the morning. Free filtered water & storage. Lots of activities offered (treks, outdoor sports, walks, yoga etc.) for reasonable prices. We booked the Poonhill Ghorepani Threk (highly recommend) through the Hostel and the owner Suman was super helpful with this - thanks so much, we had a great time! :)

United KingdomI can’t fault this hostel. I had stayed at another down the road initially and luckily moved here. The hostel is in a great location (minutes from the lake), the service is brilliant and the staff are so friendly and take time to talk to you. The free breakfast is delicious and rooms also great and clean. There are also planned activities for those who wish to socialise. The bar on the rooftop and hammocks are also great. There’s also yoga classes twice a day.

United KingdomThe hotel is not in the main part of the lakeside where are more restaurants and bars, but it’s just a 10 minutes walk, so no big deal for us, definitely worth it for the hotel!
The staff is super kind and friendly, breakfast is amazing, the room is spacious and clean, nice rooftop bar, communal area with books and games, hot shower.. I’m sad that I just spent two night in this beautiful place!

United KingdomIn summer the bedrooms get very hot (I slept in 3 different dorms during my stay and they were all too hot)
Kiwi is a dream of a hostel - it has a great vibe and felt like a home! The staff are all lovely, the breakfast is good and it’s a very social hostel (not party though, everyone goes to bed at half past 10). As a solo traveler I met multiple people to hike with. Kiwi was a great place to come back to after a trek and I was always greeted like an old friend by the staff!

FranceVery social hostel with great common areas (coworking room, dining room, 2 rooftops, a bar...). The free breakfast was particularly good and filling, and they tried to vary every day. I spent 1 night in a dorm and then was sick so I asked to switched to a private room and the staff was very helpfull in that process. They also helped me book my trip back to ktm. I highly recommend this hostel if you're looking to meet fun travelers from around the world while enjoying a calm and peaceful stay!!

United KingdomNothing. Was all great!
This is a brilliant hostel! The staff are lovely, friendly and helped me with booking a bus back to Kathmandu. It's very peaceful with lots of communal places to relax and meet people, including a rooftop bar. The bed was comfy and clean and each bed in the dorm had a fan next to it, which was good. I booked to stay here for one night but extended my stay for 2 more nights as I loved it so much! The breakfasts were delicious. Although I didn't get chance to do it, the hostel also had some organised activities like momo making. As a solo traveller, I met some lovely travellers here. It's a great hostel! I highly recommend!!
