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.).

United StatesOur jacuzzi tub leaked water everywhere and apparently did not work. But the shower was good even though it soaked the whole bathroom floor.
A very serviceable hotel with large rooms twenty minutes walk from the Maya Devi. Nice views over the rice paddies and very quiet. Serves lots of tour groups. Rooms are very large and have a refrigerator. Strangely, our room had a jacuzzi tub yet still had an open floor shower. Lots of hot water and good food.

IndiaNothing much. We gave them clothes for laundry, but they were returned folded but half-wet due to the cold in Winter. It means they do not have a tumble dryer.
One of the best properties to stay in Lumbini. Excellent restaurant, again one of the best in Lumbini. We did not find a better restaurant than it for fine dining. Rooms are spacious, clean and luxurious. The hotel was better than the reviews and their card machine works. Which means they have acted on past reviews.

Good location between the Unesco site where temples are and the main town market area. Front desk manager was very helpful and professional. The restaurant team did their best sometimes I think they were short staffed which may have been reason for delays as mentioned below.

CanadaThe room's furnishing could be improved - like having privacy curtains for the windows, clothes hangers, hair dryer available within the room instead of having the guest asking the front desk to bring a hair dryer to the room. While I didn't visit during peak season and guests were sparse during my stay, and I can understand the hotel trying to save the cost of electricity, the hall way should be lit at night instead of leaving the hall way in darkness. For this, I am taking 2 points off the rating.
Nice to have a large room. The jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom was unexpected but a nice bonus. Restaurant was accommodating to our requests and food was descent.

United KingdomThe restaurant was a little bright in the evening and could benefit from lower lighting and a bit more ambience. Perhaps some music.
This is a lovely hotel with spacious rooms including a jacuzzi bath, which was quite the luxury after the very bumpy bus journeys across Nepal. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Umesh who helped me get my bus to Chitwan and even dropped me at the bus stop at 6am. There isn't so much for tourists in the way of restaurants in Lumbini so I ate in the hotel restaurant both nights and the biryani was possibly the best I've ever tasted. Good breakfast and they even made me a packed brekkie for my early morning travels, which I was very grateful for. Lumbini is less than a ten minute walk from the hotel good location wise.

United StatesFront desk staff wasn’t overly welcoming or friendly. Credit card machine wouldn’t work upon checkout, despite trying 4 cards. We were rushed to get to the airport and staff wanted us to go to the ATM. At the end, they let us leave and we got cash to send back with the taxi driver. Very unexpected cash expense, but it worked out.
Room was spacious with great a/c and WiFi. Breakfast was cooked a la carte the day we were there and plentiful. Despite being down a gravel road, it was very well located to access Gate 5 & Maya Devi temple and nearby restaurants.

United States1. The property felt damp and stuffy. 2. Through messaging, the hotel said they would pick me up from the airport as a courtesy with no charge. When I was checking out, the front desk added that charge to my total (which I would have been okay with paying had that been the arrangement). I told her someone had told me it’s complementary and showed her the message. She made a few calls then said the charge is waived. Perhaps it’s just poor communication on their part, but still created a bad experience for me. 3. Prior to arriving, I asked for assistance with arranging a ride to Chitwan. At first they told me they’ll help me book a ride. When I asked about my options and the costs, they told me to go to the airport and take a cab. I asked for clarification, then no reply from them. 4. The checkin / checkout process was lengthy and confusing. Felt like the staff was very short with me whenever I had questions.
Great location. About 10-15 min walking to the main attractions.

JapanThe Terai plain was hot, and I sweated too much, so I wanted to take a hot shower at night, but only cold water came out. I called the front desk, but no matter how many times I called, there was no response. I was tired, so I went to bed without taking a shower on the first night. The next night, there was no hot water either. So I went to the front desk and asked directly. The receptionist said, "The wiring is broken and we are repairing it now. It will be fixed in 30 minutes or an hour." So I said, "Then please call me when it is fixed," and went back to the room. However, no matter how long I waited, I did not receive a call. So I went to the front desk again, but she had already gone home. So, the night watchman said, "Hot water will be available in 20 minutes," so I waited, but still no hot water. Then he said, "It's night, so there is no one to repair it. Hot water will be available tomorrow." It was very disappointing that there was no hot water in the bathroom during my stay. All of our guests have had the same experience over the past few days. Even so, the staff is irresponsible, as is typical of Nepal. Why would they make such an excuse? I should add that the room was not even cleaned during my stay.
