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...).

New ZealandDon't change anything, this guesthouse is unique and there's nothing not to like
Kathmandu is a challenging city to visit, Rokpa provided a quiet tranquil retreat, with exceptional service. But it's most endearing attraction is the training and support it provides for those in need.

BelgiumWe stayed in a suite and it was absolutely fantastic. Lovely furnished, with a style, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, the stuff lovely, and the place is located close to the stupa but it’s quiet. I would definitely stay again. Additionally, the foundation does a lot of humanitarian work which I was happy to support.

Rokpa Guest House is a fantastic retreat that offers the perfect blend of comfort and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel at home. The rooms are clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, providing a relaxing atmosphere. Conveniently located for exploring nearby attractions like the Boudha Stupa, the guest house also offers a peaceful escape. Overall, my stay at Rokpa Guest House was memorable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and welcoming place to stay! Furthermore, Rokpa Guest House contributes to the Children's Home, ensuring that a portion of its revenue supports this worthy cause!

GermanyHonestly, the BEST room and hostel I stayed at in Nepal. (Traveling for 2 months here) The room I had was great. A lot of space and everything I needed in the room. It's cold in Nepal right now, but the extra blanket was already in my room. Hot water every day, any time in my room. Everything is very clean. The stuff is super friendly and helpful. And it has such a peaceful vibe. I love that all the profit of the hotel goes to the projects of ROKPA. And you can even ask to someone shows you around. So you can visit the children Home, Women's Workshop and see how young kids get educated. I can recommend staying here. The location is great as well. Because it's in a quiet place as well as close to the stupa.
