Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

IndiaThere were some instances of some small cockroaches in the washroom.
The rooms, food, staff, maintenance, everything was spot on. When you spend a significant amount of money on a stay, you don't expect anything less. My family and I had the same experience. The food at the hotel was very good. The buffet breakfast was brilliant. The staff is very courteous and always keeps smiling. The hotel can arrange for airport pickup and even make travel arrangements for your visit to Pokhra sightseeing/ adventure activities. 5 mins drive from the airport.

Staff: The staff were very much accommodating and they always make sure that they meet your needs. Location: It is situated in the heart of Pokhara lakeside so going around is not an issue. Cleanliness: Superb property! What more can I say? Facilities: They have the basic facilities that a property can offer for the value of money you are paying. I have no complains. I was very satisfied with my stay. Should I book again in the future? Absolutely, Yes! Mike from Philippines

BangladeshI'm nitpicking but maybe they could add a few more items to the breakfast.
First off all the view of fewa lake from the hotel room, balcony and roof was fantastic. But the stars of the property was their staff. Special mention must go out to Mr.Ravidas who is a absolute machine and set up everything from white water rafting to paragliding even though we couldn't go through with the later for bad weather.

GermanyTo me, Portland Hotel is the best place to stay in Pokhara and it felt like home throughout my time being there. For the first time, I stayed there with a friend just before and after doing the Mardi Himal Trek in January 2022. I loved the place and city so much, I extended my stay in Nepal and returned back from Kathmandu to relax and get to know it more. What stood out to me is the peaceful view above Lakeside from the roof terrace, the solid architecture and beautiful wooden furniture and the fantastic healthy breakfast (and dinner too). My room had a window that makes Phewa Lake look like a painting, which is my personal favourite detail. Above all, the entire team is so welcoming and supportive with any matters - Thanks so much again for everything!

United KingdomDO NOT look at the hotels photos. Right outside where it shows bushes & trees it is actually now a construction site of a new hotel so the balconies on the front of the hotel face the builders! This has been going on for 1 year with no mention of this on the description. We asked if our room was facing this, they said yes but we could move tomorrow. As it happens the room we were in was not very clean, the shower flooded the bathroom & the sink was not attached. After speaking to the male supervisor he said we could move to the back of the hotel the next day at a charge of an extra 1000NPR per night as it was a family room as they don't have double rooms on the back of the hotel. There was no way we should have to pay when the room was not acceptable. We eventually moved to a family room (for no extra charge) on floor 4. we arrived back one day and there was all dirt over the bed which we noticed was coming from the A/C unit as it was filthy. Sushant immediatley came up to the room and said this was not acceptable and apologized and immediatley cleaned the unit himself, the bed sheets then needed to be changed due to the dirt. The roof top photos show a lovely terrace with tables & chairs however in reality everytime we went onto the roof the place is covered in laundry. The hotel rooms are in great need of being cleaned properly & maintenance improved. The hotel should advise that there is major construction to the side & front of the hotel. The hotel should be accountable for misleading customers with photos that do not reflect the truth. We asked to speak to a manager but they said they wasnt one.
The front of house staff were excellent (with the exception of the male supervisor) Sushant was excellent, he was very attentive and tried to sort problems out immediatley...and there were quite a few. The location in Pokhara is very central and a short walk to the lake.
