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.).

United KingdomMaybe a desk/workstation in the room would be nice, but that's asking a lot for this price. There is always the roof terrace and a place next to the office if you need to work at a table. The rear windows in my room need replacing I think and some of the beds are hard. The internet can be a little slow and even on and off depending on where you are in the guesthouse.
It's always a pleasure to stay at Santana when I'm in Pokhara. Surya, the owner, is very helpful and professional, and the place is very clean. It's a great budget option in North Lakeside. It's a little away from the main road, so it's quieter at night than many options. There's a rooftop terrace. You can fill water your water bottle in their kitchen too. The water is solar-heated but there is an option to ask the owner to turn on the geyser. Bear in mind it's a budget option so don't expect a 5-star hotel, but all you'd expect/want from a budget option. There is no food option, but you have no shortage of those around here. The owner and his family and lovely and totally trustworthy. You can feel safe and looked after at Santana.

SpainSome minor details from the description didn't always match with the place. For example, we had booked a room with view of the lake, but our room didn't really have one. It also said that there was a kitchenette, but there wasn't. Anyway, as I said, minor details that in the end don't matter that much. I'd still recommend staying here as you get a good room for a nice price.
What you get for the price is great. The rooms are big and it is really cool to get your own bathroom for such a low price. We felt very comfortable here at the end of the journey. The owner was very kind and wanted to help us with everything.

EstoniaSometimes the hot water can only be available during day time (happened once during my stay), and the WiFi is not very reliable. The restaurants nearby have good WiFi though if something has to be done.
This place became my home in Pokhara for almost 2 weeks. A simple and very affordable room, friendly and helpful family, plenty of privacy, excellent location. The room has a fan, shower has hot water. The terrace has nice views over the lake and there's a monastery that offers yoga classes just up the hill. One-two minute walk to several great breakfast places that offer healthy and organic food. The owner is happy to have a chat with you and can also arrange different activities and tickets for you, such as Annapurna cable car and bus tickets, very convenient! I am happy I stayed there.

AustraliaNot much to say! The place is great. There was a slight scent in my bathroom which I didn’t love but no real complaints.
Amazing staff. Family owned and operated. They are so welcoming and loving. Hot water and shower is great! Room is perfect size and I personally love a harder bed which this place had so happy with that. Easy to organise guides, cars etc.
