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.).

GermanyNew Tourist Guest House is run by a very friendly family and staff. The location a little south of lakeside is a max. 10 minute walk from the center and still surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars and other hotels. It has a cute little yard to relax.

NepalShower was not working properly. Slippers were super old. Just very small issues I think.
For the price range, I think its the best one. We were there at the new year eve so price went little up but its was a good stay so far as we booked it last moment.

South KoreaThe location is really good, the garden is pretty, and the room and bathroom are clean. The owner and staff are all friendly, and the hot water comes out really well. There are restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, and a lake nearby. It's a perfect location. I had a comfortable rest. Thank you~^^~

United KingdomNot much to say really. Wasn't much space to hang kayaking kit up in the room, but I doubt that's a common complaint!
Super friendly at all points during the stay - lovely people to chat to while passing through reception/garden. Very quiet location, but still close enough to the main tourist centre. Very helpful with storing bags, booking taxis and booking a room when we weren't sure on exact dates. Garden felt safe to store 2 kayaks while we were there. Room was very clean.

United KingdomAlthough there was plenty of natural light, the indoor lighting in the room was a bit inadequate. It's important to note that this place is more suited for friends and young couples.
The place was excellent for a budget trip, offering a variety of rooms at different price points. This flexibility is perfect for budget travelers. The property wasn't a stuffy building but had a lovely front yard, adding to its charm. Most importantly, the staff were exceptionally friendly and considerate. Despite booking a budget room, we were encouraged to explore other options and choose the one we preferred. My partner and I chose a budget room with low expectations, but we were surprised. The room was very clean, as was the toilet. They even provided extra towels and slippers. The location was also great. Overall, it was a fantastic stay.

PolandI have no objections. The standard is more than adequate to the price.
Stuff was very kind, helpful, and beneficial for the visitors. The location couldn't be better- it's 2' from the main street in Pokhara and the road is very calm. We did not go for breakfast, so I cannot refer. The room was the best I've seen in Nepal traveling to different regions, in terms of design, comfort, and cleanness!

New ZealandThe room we had did not have much privacy, so we had the curtains shut most of the time we were in the room, as people walked by our windows a lot. The rooms also have a typical Nepal squat toilet which we don't mind but be aware of this if you prefer a Western toilet. No toilet paper provided.
The family welcomed us so kindly, but that's Nepal for you. The room had so much sunlight with lots of windows you can open for fresh air, there was space to place our belongings, a decent sized bathroom, the power and wifi is good, it is quiet at night time. We were able to do some hand washing of our clothes outside and hang them to dry which is very handy! The location was good for us as it is out of the central hustle of Pokhara but close enough for walking to restaurants and the lake. The family was very helpful with all our queries and we would 100% stay again!
