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...).

United KingdomIf you are staying on higher floor, you will hear almost no noise during day and night time. On lower floor, you will hear noise at day and evening time. Inevitable as it is near central busy location. After 10 am more quiet at night as all shops are closed, less traffic, vehicle on street. Pros to staying on lower floor, less need to climb stairs.
I really enjoyed the location of Pristine Hotel. Thamel is known for tourist spot. Hotel close to nearby amenities, only 1 minute walk away from close nearby shops, restaurant , pharmacy, accessory, bakery shops, fruit shop, electronic shops etc. Hotel owner was accommodating and helpful. Breakfast will be served at morning at around 9am.

SpainIt was noisy in the street and also in the hostel itself. The entrance door was banging every now and then and made it a bit difficult to sleep.
Very good price and friendly staff. The room was big enough for us and our things. Very good location as well.

GermanyNice, simple, family-run hotel in an excellent location very close to Chhetrapati. It means you are very close to tourist facilities in Thamel, but not right in the center of action. Like this you enjoy a silent environment, which is especially worthy during nighttime. The hosts are very welcoming and do everything to provide you a pleasant stay. Every morning the hosts mother, who is a marvelous person, prepares you a wonderful breakfast at the time of your convenience.

NepalThe wifi was really bad on that particular day. Also, I didn't realize there wasn't an AC in the room. But it was fine. It's located in a tight corner of Thamel. It's convenient but not particularly charming.
Polite staff. Decent room. I missed the breakfast, so can't comment on that.

LithuaniaIt was a great stay, you get what you see! The bed was comfortable, the room was big, we had space to sit down at a coffee table in the evening. A lot of very hot water in the shower. The room and bathroom were pretty clean. The wifi was ok, in one of the rooms there was no wifi in bed, but maybe beds are for sleeping:) other parts of the room had wifi! Breakfast was simple as everywhere in Nepal. But you get a bit of everything, which is enough to get the day started. Owner is very helpful, solved a few problems of ours, we are grateful for that:)

Germany:) it was clean, good located, good price :( the room we booked weeks before was suddenly not available. One bed to share for two persons, one blanket and one towel for two persons.. Breakfast was cold fries, dry peas, toast and a boiled egg. For what nepal has to offer in food, this was very disappointing. We asked them to help us with booking a bus ticket to gorkha. They asked 20€ what is the double of the normal ticket price (tourist sofa seat bus),what we found out.. Scamming your own guests and try charging doubble of the normal price is shitty..👎 We will not come back..

BangladeshThe owner said, there was an issue with washroom, and he had to relocate me to another of his hotel just beside the original property. And in the relocated one, room was not good either. I had to leave without having breakfast because kitchen opens at 8 am whereas my bus to pokhara was at 6:45 am.
