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...).

UkraineAmazing place! Located near the ancient Swayambhu stupa which we really wanted to explore. Unlike many parts of Kathmandu here we enjoyed fresh air, no dust and a perfect view from the roof top! Rooms are clean and cosy and there is a kitchen with all necessary stuff for cooking and good quality filtered water. There is also a nice cafe just a few steps from the guest which is perfect for breakfast if you don't feel like cooking) Personnel is friendly and helpful. We would certainly come here again.

AustraliaI will stay here whenever I am back in KTM. The place was very peaceful, quiet and clean - with amazing views of Kathmandu and the Monkey Temple. The rooftop & meditation room were a highlight for me. Location was not too far away so that you felt out of the mix. The hosts (Naidoop and Jonh) were also very accomodating and helpful with local knowledge, and things to look out for for first time travellers.

RussiaThis is "Top 3" in my own hostels rating. We felt like at home of the best friend: cooked and eat in the kitchen, chilled on the roof and in the yard looking at Swayambhu. The housekeeper was perfect, very kind and helpful. The room was also very nice: nothing super-special but "made with love".

United KingdomThis is a great place to stay, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Spotlessly clean, in a very quiet and peaceful location. Wonderful view from the roof top towards the valley and Swayambhu Stupa. We enjoyed our evening in the garden. The owners are very nice people with a gentle character of hospitality. The locally sourced breakfast in nearby BIA cafe was impeccable. This may have been the first time we stayed here, it certainly won't be the last! Will come back again after our trip from the mountains.

Really best view to the city. very good neighborhood, quite. clean rooms, good service. friendly community the center of Kathmandu is very noisy, but in this guest house you REALLY rest and breath. there is a fancy European style cafe BIA, where you can have best coffee and read a book. a lot of monks are in this neighborhood because of the monasteries. they are very friendly: we felt very safe and secure in this guest house. there is also a rooftop where you can sit and do yoga or mediate.

GermanyNo easy check in or check out as there’s no proper reception. The water pressure was bad. The shower head was quite bad and the water went in all directions. Sometimes I couldn’t flush the toilet as the water refilled slowly. So I needed to wait an hour or so. The staff offered to fix it, but I didn’t want to have people in my room. It’s a nice place in theory. But I had much nicer apartments previously in Kathmandu for a smaller nightly rate. With some improvements it could be a 10/10 place.
Friendly staff, nice common kitchen, and garden, and roof top. Nice cafe nearby.
