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...).

IrelandThe hotel is in a very central location of Thamel, near many restaurants and shops that sell hiking gear and souvenirs. The staff was always polite and ready to help with any type of inquiry, such as where to exchange money, where to rent trekking gear, how to get a taxi and information about different Nepal treks. The facilities were clean and comfortable and the breakfast quite generous.

ThailandThis is a wonderful space. The room has a very comfortable bed and a small sitting area with a sofa. There are enough outlets plus a power strip so you can charge devices relatively easily. The shower has a rain forest head and enough hot water…it’s the simple things! The outdoor dining area (when it is warm) is a lovely place to breakfast. Staff (especially “Sue”) are all kind and helpful. Location is off a relatively calm alley bordered by the “souvenir” street and a more commercial (local) street. Easy to get most of what you need. Don’t forget the museum which is just a few minute walk from the hotel.

United StatesIf I’m really nitpicking, I will say that one of the windows in the room didn’t close flush so a little noise came in. Also they don’t leave water or clean your room unless you leave your key at front desk, though you can pick up free water on the first floor at any time. And the breakfast is fine for a day or two, but there isn’t any variety so after a few days you’ll be sick of it and will probably skip it.
This hotel represented a great value for the money. Rooms were clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable and linens were clean. Everything in the bathroom worked well. Air conditioning was good. Free breakfast was included in the price. Staff spoke good English. The location was great, in the heart of thamel but on a side street so it was quieter with less foot traffic. The list goes on and on.

SingaporeHotel Sekai offered two great stays for my first trip to Nepal! The rooms and garden were very comfortable and authentic (very very good value for money from my point of view!) The stuff speaks English, created a good atmosphere and was flexible and experienced when it comes to recommendations. My individual wishes were always respected and implemented. I was able to store my luggage free of charge and was told that there was always a space available for me. That was a great feeling :)
