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 KingdomYou could hear noises from other guests from the corridors, and this being Kathmandu, you could hear some music from nearby venues at times. This isn’t the guesthouse’s fault however!
We stayed here twice during our travels in Nepal because it’s a great value stay in the heart of Thamel yet a tucked away enough from busy streets. We had a spacious and bright room with small balcony. Great comfortable beds and properly hot water always available in shower. Room was clean too. Nice staff and also some good Nepali food available at the small restaurant on the ground floor - otherwise, you have a large choice of places to eat close to the guesthouse!

IrelandYou are getting what you pay for here, manage expectations accordingly. The building is dated with fans rather than AC.
Great value, great location. Staff were friendly, welcoming and approachable. Very hot water in the shower at all times. Located by the delicious French Creperie and just off the main street in Thamel.

AustraliaI went back and forth to this hotel several times so I got to stay in different rooms. I always paid the same price but some rooms are better than others. Once they gave me a room that wasn't cleaned properly and where the shower didn't work properly. Eventually they gave me another room after I insisted to change. Also, like anywhere in Nepal, the soundproofing is terrible so you can hear people talking in the corridor like if they were in your room. Also, one of the staff member (a young guy) is pretty rude and doesn't have any communication skills at all but the manager is friendly.
Good value for money. The beds are comfortable and the location is great.

Czech RepublicTo be honest, the room was pretty dirty. Also the location is not very lucky because of the noise coming from night clubs in the centre up to late night hours.
Stuff was very wiling, as I was not able to find the accomodation and came to pick me up in the centre.

ItalyThe hotel is not a luxury option but it"s very good value for money.. it's located bang on in the middle of Thamel but in a quiet alley so you can sleep peacefully at night. The rooms are simple but spacious and clean, beds are comfy and there's 24hrs hot water. Owner, manager and staff are very friendly and have asisted us with everything we needed. They also organise treks but we didn't avail of their services. We stayed there twice and will stay again at Tara Om Guesthouse next time we come to Nepal 🇳🇵

AustraliaI stayed here on two occasions. I felt progressively more uncomfortable with the staff. There is a large group of men that congregate at the bottom of the hotel. When you walk in they stare at you intensely. I had a guy friend come up to my room once and then after that I felt extremely uncomfortable. I felt I was treated dirty… I did not feel safe. If you are a female solo traveler I would probably go elsewhere.
In a good location and cheap!
