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...).

AustraliaThis is common especially in tourist areas, but there is a mark up on tours and transfers if you book through the hotel, if you're budget savvy shop around, if you don't mind paying a small amount more then the hotel was excellent at organising
Lovely hotel on the river, staff were friendly and knowledgeable, picked us up from the bus station and organised tours for us for safaris etc.

GermanyThe shower in the room didn't work very well and it could have been a bit cleaner. But since the rest was so much better than expected we didn't care. If you ask, they offer to drop you off at the bus station - we found out too late but now we know;)
The staff is very nice, everybody cares that you feel good. The food eas very good. Location. Is perfect. The pictures are not so good, in real the hotel is much better. Best hotel we had in nepal. The pool is amazing, with very comfortable chairs/lounger. Pool is big and clean and with the 40 degrees we had very necessary. Directly on the river and close to the city. Would definitely come back there.

United StatesThe bathroom was functional but could use some updating, and the screens on the windows had some holes that let mosquitoes in to our room. (There is air conditioning, so you could just leave the windows closed and be just fine, but my husband and I prefer fresh air at night so this was a detractor for us.)
The pool was nice, since it was pretty hot when we were there, but the pool is not heated so be prepared for a cold dip. The grounds were really well maintained, lots of gardens and trees. A rhino wandered through the hotel grounds at dawn one morning we were there (both amazing and terrifying). The staff was very helpful and made sure our excursions were booked and our transportation was sorted out.

United KingdomThe AC didn't seem to work in many rooms and I was told I'd be ok as there was a fan. When I said definitely not an AC room was found. There is construction on the site a new building is being built right next to the pool the pictures don't show this.
The manager Manish was very helpful and easy to contact before I arrived The hotel location is good, right in the centre of Sauraha

IndiaPathetic AC, even after bringing this to the attention of the hotel staff, no action was taken. No telephones in the room every time had to move down to the reception for any requirements, there was no staff at the reception after 11pm.
Some overtime stay was definitely allowed to us post our check out time to relax, post the safari.

United StatesThe hotel's location is an absolute gem! Whether you're a leisure traveler seeking cultural experiences or a business traveler with a busy schedule, this hotel's prime location ensures convenience and is a perfect starting point for exploration. The service at this hotel is exceptional and sets a new standard for hospitality. I was greeted with warmth and genuine smiles from the moment I arrived. The staff members are professional, and attentive, and go above and beyond to promptly meet guests' needs. Whether it was a recommendation for a local restaurant or assistance with arranging transportation, they were always ready to help with a cheerful demeanor. The combination of its prime location, exceptional service, delectable food, and luxurious accommodations left a lasting impression. Every aspect of my experience was meticulously thought out, and it's evident that the hotel's management takes great pride in providing an extraordinary stay for their guests.

AustraliaNothing actually - as it exceeded my expectation for the price I got to stay at this hotel.
Everything was so phenomenal. I would like to thank all the staff working at Hotel Riverside for making our stay very memorable and beautiful. Welcoming, clean and friendly staff. Mr. Manish Giri the Manager there had very good communication skills - explained us about all the wonderful things we could do at Chitwan National Park, and we did elephant safari and Jeep safari. We stayed at room B12 - it was very spacious and clean with view of Rapti river and chitwan national park. The restaurant was able to cater to all our foods request, they even went out of their way to offer us free desert on our last day which was so yummy. The hospitality, affordable price, ambience, friendly staff and prime location makes me want to go back to this place again. I’ll recommend this hotel to everyone I know.
