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.).

KazakhstanThe facilities and the room were outdated and old. They should have renovated them. At least should have cleaned/painted the walls, cleaned the chair. But, bed sheets were clean. I think it is same for all the hotels in the Thamel area. I did not like the breakfast, it was poor comoared to the hotel I prevoiusly stayed in.
The personal is really good people and the quiteness of the area by being located away from the noisy roads of Thamel was a win. I felt safe as a solo female traveller, which was important for me.

KuwaitOnce I made the booking through Booking.com, received a message from Mr.Keshab Khanal introducing himself and mentioned to contact him for any assistance required for our stay. Again on the day of our arrival, received a message enquiring about our arrival time. That's a great way of welcoming. As I had earlier booked a room with 3 beds, the hotel themselves changed to a better room to accommodate 4 of us. The stay was pleasant. Location in the heart of the city. With numerous shops, restaurants and money exchanges around. Superb breakfast. Rooms were cleaned every day. And all staff were very helpful. Mr.Keshab was in touch throughout our stay of 4 days. Thank you.

United StatesAs a seasoned traveler, I find it difficult to put into words how exceptional this hotel is—it truly exceeds every expectation. .
First and foremost, the food is absolutely fantastic. The chef ensures that every customer receives a top-quality breakfast, making it a memorable start to the day. Having traveled to over 40 countries, I can confidently say that it’s rare to find such a dedicated cooking staff outside of a Michelin 3-star restaurant. The management team is equally exceptional, going out of their way to assist with navigating around Nepal and making the experience smooth and enjoyable. The front desk staff are super friendly and courteous, always greeting guests with warm smiles. The doorman welcomes each guest with genuine hospitality, adding a personal touch to the stay.

The rooms in Samsara are spacious and comfortable. Perfect for a stop in Kathmandu. I was working and appreciated having a desk and fast wifi. I will absolutely be back and recommend it anyone who wants to explore Tamel but needs a nice quiet room at night.

A beautifully designed Hotel and well located within best part of Thamel. Highly recommended to any single or group seeking a place of stay from walking distance from Hanuman Dhoka and Kumari Palace. Even food is equally delicious and pocket friendly compared to steet restaurant.

United KingdomThe only downside is noise from other guests which is sadly pretty normal anywhere. When people are noisy in the corridors there isn't much you can do but tell them to be quiet. I'm not sure that much can be done about that though.
This is a great hotel in Thamel. Compared to many similar standard hotels around the area, this stands out. It's really clean, the facilities are good. The room and bathroom are well kept. The plumbing is modern and the showers are hot! No dripping taps or cracked tiles like so many other places have... these things really matter! Air con is quiet and efficient, lovely big windows open for fresh air. Great garden where you can take your breakfast and the staff are lovely and helpful. It's a great place and I'll happily book The Samsara again.

BangladeshMay be everything I liked. Airport pickup service & service of the relationship officer along with their manager Mr Keshab was very warming and helpful. Decor & cleanliness of the room, service of the room attendant, & off course there complimentary breakfast was really great. One morning we've missed our breakfast for the reason of our delayed Everest flight. But they managed to serve fresh breakfast for us. Last but not the least it was most enjoyable but affordable visit at this property.

IndonesiaThe wifi didn't reach my room (top floor) so I had to either go to the rooftop common area or lobby to get connected.
Super location with a very large and comfortable room. The hotel also had free airport pickup which was such a relief. Excellent perk! The staff was very nice and they served a tasty Western-style continental breakfast every morning.

BangladeshThe bed wasn't the most comfortable, but not the worst. Lighting in room was a little low.
The location was amazing for me - not right in the middle of Thamel, but very close. I also liked that the building is set on a relatively big land area for guests to roam. The airport pickup facility for a hotel in this price range is unbelievable amazing value. Mr. Keshav was so hospitable and along with all other hotel staff, made the stay so incredibly great!

BangladeshNot a unique problem for boutique hotels, but the beds were not too comfortable.
Love that Samsara the rooms were spacious, clean, and even had a big window with garden view. The complimentary airport pick-up is also a cool bonus. Soon after i booked the room, Mr. Keshav contacted me and collected my flight timing - and on the day of flight, I had a pick-up car ready and waiting for me. The best part of the hotel are its staff members. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay!
