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...).

United KingdomEverything was perfect
I had a lovely time staying at this homestay. Sugat and Roshani are amazing hosts and made me feel very comfortable, and they are great to chat to in the mornings over breakfast. They also kindly kept my luggage safe while I went trekking. It’s a beautiful house in a nice relaxed neighbourhood. It’s also very close to the airport so a perfect place to stay after or before a flight.

LatviaAt this hotel, you’ll feel not just at home but like part of a close-knit family during your stay. The friendly couple who run the place go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, offering care and support with anything you might need. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with comfortable furnishings and a modern bathroom featuring a hot shower. Electricity is reliable, and the internet connection is fast and stable. Breakfast is excellent, and there’s always free drinking water available for guests. The hotel is located in a quiet area, tucked away from the noise of the main streets. It’s about a 30-minute walk to Thamel and just a 10-15 minute taxi ride from the airport, which typically costs 500-700 rupees. This is a wonderful place to stay, and I can confidently recommend it. You’ll leave with only positive impressions!

Cosy, and homey. Sugat and his wife Roshani make you feel like their home is yours. They are so personable with you and always ready to help, be it by making a fresh breakfast each morning or give you tips on Kathmandu or anything else you may need. This really is the perfect relaxed and welcoming place to stay in Kathmandu.

SwitzerlandWonderful family homestay in the heart of Kathmandu. The owners are so kind and helpful, we loved our chats in the morning. The homestay is located in a lovely calm non touristy area. Take the small streets to walk to durbar square or Tamel and you will be able to see the local life - we loved it!

This was really a very beautiful stay in a very quiet corner in Kathmandu. Sugat and his wife are so neat and heartful, they really have won a place in my heart. They help you in any kind of wishes and make a stay in their house so wonderful. The rooms are so beautiful and very clean, they offer a nice sitting space and the Wifi is strong.. Their home has a fixed place in my mind, and when I come back to Kathmandu its the place I wanna be. Thanks from my heart for this experience. Johannes from Germany

DenmarkThe location of the homestay is very good as it's central but in a residential area where it's calm. Staying at a homestay is a great way to get an idea of how locals live. Swagat means welcome in Nepali and having stayed at this homestay twice during my trip to Nepal I must say that the name is very fitting. The owners - Sugat and Roshani - went out of their way to ensure that I had a great time in Kathmandu.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing! Great stay!
First and foremost we couldn’t recommend a stay with Sugat (the owner) any more! Very welcoming family, with it being our first time in the area and not knowing much we required some help, with Sugat it felt like we had our own local guide with the amount of information and guidance he gave us! We felt he went the extra mile by booking our bus/taxi journey out of town for us, also accompanying our taxi drivers over the phone to locate his place for us! (As it is a remote area). We would also like to mention mention the food at his second hotel, notably the buff mo mo dish was incredible! Highly recommend heading there! Would most definitely return!

SpainSwagat and Roshani made me feel at home. Cozy, welcoming and caring family. I arrived super late at night from a log bus trip that was delayed and they where expecting me and keeping track of my journey. Really appreciated. The room is big and super comfy, amazing hot shower and friendly breakfast with small talk every day :) Even though I just stayed for 3 days I would rather spend more days. Well located to explore the est of Kathmandu, and close to Thamel (30 min walking). The neighborhood is calmed and beautiful to discover the city off the center.

I highly recommend Swagat Homestay for long term trips. The breakfast is really good and the family is so lovely and helpful! I actually stayed here for two months, and I found the entire experience very convenient. There's lots of local restaurants around and a local vegetable market about 5 minute walk from the homestay. There's also a kitchen which I used every evening to cook dinner. Sugat and Roshani are wonderful people and gave me loads of advice on what to do during my stay and how to get places. I had both a friend and my father come and stay with me at different points during the two months I was in Nepal, and they also loved their stays:) I'm really going to miss it here!
