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...).

New summit was such a pleasure to stay in, we stayed for 2 nights before our trek and Raj kindly kept our bags for 10 days before having us back for 2 nights post-trek. The room was clean and the solar shower was really hot and powerful. Spacious rooms and kind host. 15 minute walk from the lakeside which made it nice and quiet for the evenings.

There is nothing not to like.
Mr Raj takes great pride in his guest house and its beautiful garden. From the welcome drink to the comfortable room , the meticulously kept garden to the delicious breakfast and from the fascinating conversation to the perfect location, this place in Pokhara really shines. An oasis in the middle of the city that you should consider for a perfect stay in Pokhara.

Bathroom floor doesn’t drain well after a shower but plastic slippers are provided for future nocturnal visits. This didn’t bother me but may put some off The light that can be switched on immediately upon entering the room is hopeless but there is a far better light on the other side. This light should be available immediately on entry by not having its switch on the far side. OK I'm being petty.
Mr Raj is a really good guy with lots of knowledge of the area. Fantastic hot shower Breakfast is really good. Quiet at night which is my #1 priority. It’s far enough, but not too far, off the main lake road to aid quietness. Good wifi Mattress was pretty good too

The place to stay in Pokhara! A little, beautiful oasis, run by a true gentleman who goes above and beyond to make your experience personable, warm, memorable and authentic. My favourite part of Pokhara was talking to Raj and hearing about his life story

We had a great stay. Raj was so welcoming and friendly. Raj helped us book tourist buses for our onward travel and he helped with our laundry. The guest house is a short walk away from the lake. Would recommend this place to stay in Pokhara.

The location on the map is slightly confusing. If you're walking from Pokhara street towards the guest house, it will show you a road on the map which takes you to the guest house however that route was closed when we were navigating and it was very close to the stay. We then had to take the other route. This happened a couple of times and was probably the only part that I didn't like. Rest was amazing!!!
24-hour running hot shower was the highlight for me. Breakfast was fulfilling, Raj was extremely helpful. When we were running late to catch our bus to Kathmandu, he went out of his way to arrange a taxi for us that came within minutes.

Everything was perfect!
Our stay at New Summit was nothing short of wonderful. The room was spacious and clean in a nice quiet a part of town, but still walking distance to everything in Lakeside. We loved chatting with the host Raj--he made the atmosphere so comfortable and friendly. He even organized to have some things we accidentally left behind sent on a bus to us in Kathmandu! Would absolutely recommend this homestay to anyone visiting Pokhara!

The showers (HOT water) and water pressure were the BEST I have ever experienced anywhere in South Asia - phenomenal! But aside from this, the kindness and care of own Mr. Raj-ji and his lovely spouse, were the most memorable parts of my stay. I loved the little garden area for breakfast and the warm, welcoming nature of his guest house. Mr. Raj kindly organized a last-minute trekking adventure for me which was the highlight of my stay in Nepal! Fantastic people, excellent facilities, highly recommend to anyone travelling in Pokhara!
