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.).

PolandSomehow no one is bothered by a leaking bathroom, it was poorly designed (no ventilation, instead holes in the door were added, yes, it’s see through). A reminder - mould is injurious to health. Floors are covered by an old carpet, another terrible idea, this can never be clean.

AustraliaWe stayed here twice during our time in Nepal and loved it. They arranged an airport pick up for us when we arrived in Nepal which was great. The staff were so friendly on arrival and made us feel at home immediately. The private room was comfortable and spacious. The facilities including hot water and wifi worked well. The bed and linen was also comfortable. The upstairs restaurant was the perfect chill out location. You could spend hours here relaxing. The food and coffee was also good. And there were some mountain views in the distance. It was walking distance to everything in Thamel with restaurants, shops, and ATM close by. We also walked to Monkey Temple and Durbar square from here. There is also an attached tour agent which we organised our Langtang Valley Trek through and would 100% recommend. They also arranged a bus transfer to Pokhara which was very good. They stored our luggage for free during our trekking which was also great. Overall, this was the perfect stay in Kathmandu and we 100% recommend it.

AustraliaThis was our 3rd time staying at Rest Up during our time in Nepal. We had loved it so much the previous 2 times we had to come back before we flew out. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were ushered next door to Nepali Heritage Hotel as they had overbooked. It is run by the same management but we were quite disappointed as we loved the rooftop chill out area at Rest Up. When we were checking out we mentioned this and apparently we still could access the Rest Up rooftop area even though we were staying at a different hotel but no one mentioned this earlier. The Nepali Heritage Hotel had a great room, and lovely staff. The wifi was great, the hot shower worked well and you are close to everything in Thamel. The restaurant area upstairs was nice but nothing like the Rest Up area. As it was only one night here we didn’t mind too much. However we think it would be considerate to inform the guests prior to arrival that they are being relocated.
