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.).

South KoreaI'm traveling alone and I had a personal and comfortable time at the accommodation. Here is close to Durbar Square and Tamel took about 10-15 minutes on foot. It was easy to catch a taxi and I liked it because it wasn't too loud in the evening. The host kindly kept taking care of me to see if I needed anything. I'd like to use it on my next trip.

It is a very clean and cozy apartment with all necessary amenities. The owner is the nicest and most considerate person possible. He cares about each detail of your stay. And last but not least, the location is amazing, it is just a dozen steps away from the historical center and heart of Kathmandu.

My kind of place exactly and my kind of location. Almost in Kathmandu Durbar Square (convert your day ticket to a visitor pass if you are here for a few days) in a vibrant local area. Lots of tea shops and Nepali food near by as well as Jocchen (Freak Street) a short walk away. The genial host, Mr Surdarshan, is incredibly helpful and very responsive whatever your need. I've used this place as a base in Kathmandu as part of a long trip and am very glad to have found it. The building is very secure and clean. Bed is large and comfy. Kitchenette and fridge very useful for my travelling style. Great to have a washing machine on premise when coming back from a trek. Super stay

IndiaLocation of the property is premium. It's right next to Darbar Square. It's walking distance from Thamel. Our studio was small but it has everything one would expect. All the facilities are modern. We did not expect such place on such budget friendly price. We extended our stay for one day, could have stayed longer but place was booked for further dates. Very helpful staff, we interacted with Mr. Sudarshan during our whole stay. He is very polite, patient and understanding. He was eager to help. He guided taxy driver to reach the place. We called him anytime we needed help. Communicating with him was super easy. He genuinely made our experience amazing!

Great owners! met, seen off, everything on time! The apartments are 2 steps (literally) from Durbar Square! Everything is clean, there is a kitchen, there are good dishes in the kitchen, if you don’t like to cook in the same building on the first floor of a cafe with Momo, from the end of the building there is an entrance to the cafe on the roof with a beautiful view (but I never ate there, only coffee saw). I recommend! Everything is very convenient!

DenmarkIt is quite far away from any of the larger supermarkets. My initial score would have been a 9 but since the owner wrote me on WhatsApp again I am decreasing the score to an 8. If you want people to review it is fine, but don't continue to write to them in WhatsApp 2 weeks after they checked out.
Close to durbar square, bed were comfortable, internet speed was fast running at 250-300/mbit.

Australiawalls were too thin that anyone can hear everything from the other studio or someone at the ground floor. The microwave was located on the third floor inside the laundry room. Also, you don’t have total privacy as owner go in and out of the building to turn on/off lights of un-occupied room and do laundriy every day.

United KingdomWhile the central location is convenient and the neighbourhood lively, it was very noisy. A small, yet busy street with ongoing traffic one one side and a courtyard where people meet and drink on the other. I was there at the week-end so the noise went on late at night. It may be quieter during the week, I don't know. It would be perfect with double windows. Don't let the above stop you if you don't mind going to bed late and waking up early. Apart from that, it's nice and cosy.
This is a lovely little studio, in the heart of one of the most popular areas of Kathmandu. Sudarshan, the owner, is a kind and thoughtful man. Communication was friendly and effective from the moment I booked. He guided my taxi when I arrived and was waiting for me at the property, so checking in was easy and hassle-free. He showed me around, asked me if I needed anything, made me feel comfortable... He also talked to my driver the day after, when I got lost looking for one of the temples. The place itself is great. It has everything you need to cook your own meals and make yourself at home (large wardrobe, etc.). It's clean and the bed is super comfy. The listed building is beautiful: ancient, but all renovated inside. Location's very central. Plenty of shops and restaurants around, juice bars, cafes, ATMs... and the famous Durbar Square is literally at your doorstep. The neighbourhood's buzzing with life and feels safe. In the evening, you can buy local artefacts at the outdoor market nearby.

IndonesiaI like privacy but i miss a common space outside the room. I work remotely, the room is tho super well, but no facility to work-sit properly. The showerroom + toilet is super tiny, difficult to move. The room is right on the street side. There is no transition space from the room to literally the street (with no sidewalk).
Location is great, close to the one of best heritage site and easy to get to know locals. Also great time to be in the cultural center. Sudharsan is amazing. He was proactive like a week before my arrival, and shared important information. Great help.
