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.).

NepalMy recent stay at the thamel. The Hotel in Nepal was an absolute delight, leaving me with cherished memories and a strong desire to return. From the moment I stepped foot on the property until the end of my stay, the hotel's commitment to excellence and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their service. Nestled in a serene and picturesque location, the Hotel offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling city. The ambiance is simply breathtaking, with beautifully landscaped gardens and traditional architecture that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Nepal. As soon as I arrived, I immediately felt a sense of calm and tranquility enveloping me.

United StatesI had no problem with this very good hotel for this affordable price, convenient location near sites I carefully chose. Wonderful driver Mr. Prasod and perfect front desk staff who carefully catered to all my requests for unique tours. I slept as deeply as a happy baby partly because I have a severe hearing loss (from military service from a young age) so I can't really be woken at night by loud tour van late-night arrivals in the courtyard below our rooms (we tried 2 rooms). My wife, however, demanded we change hotels after a few nights to try different hotels nearby for a better sleep (bad idea; other hotels had black water in a tap). My wife was upset that some loud European groups of rowdy happy trekkers are very loud in early morning, and some white people drink a lot of beer, smoking strong cigarettes (smoke smells bad drifting to your window) late into night or early morning in an understandably festive mood on vacation (vacation is a happy time to celebrate of course). One loudest group of package tourists (very friendly bunch) who arrived to stay for a few days were all from the same Indian corporation, all wearing a big Indian national flag on their matching shirts to show team affiliation and easy to identify as a team in a big crowd (smart idea when climbing a mountain or navigating a crowded city bazaar or market) were doing a cheerleading chant very loudly in the courtyard as a part of their shared happy vacation before departing Hotel Thamel in early morning. Not cool. Not considerate to all those still asleep. Clueless inconsideration. So my amazingly patient gentle wife (Thai) absolutely insisted we switch hotels. This very friendly hotel was so popular and full, they were not able to give us our originally promised room with a private balcony on the quieter side of the hotel away from the courtyard. We did pay for a balcony room, but could not have it. I'm flexible when traveling in Asia.
Excellent buffet breakfast. Well-dressed front-gate guards greet you with a crisp proper military salute if you will return their salute. Very clean restaurant in immaculately clean lobby. The neighborhood is very, very safe 24/7 and we walked the streets late into the night for great inexpensive food and souvenir shopping. Nepali people of Hotel Thamel and all Kathmandu neighborhoods are absolutely considerate, keep warm strong eye contact, smiling, safe, helpful, friendly, pro-visitor, welcoming to outsiders, love tourists, speak very polite English like classy native speakers better than in my country. Hotel Thamel's wonderful, friendly, classy, warm, funny staff are extremely helpful and take care of all our special requests like when we requested a unique tour by SUV or jeep (private driver Mr. Prasod is perfect safe driver for our tours) of the 10 wealthiest residential neighborhoods of the capital city (spread all over Kathmandu). The beautiful and classy and smartly dressed front-desk staff were a welcome thing to see after our long days walking around the city. The beds were perfect, exactly the way we love a high-quality firm mattress, very solid thick excellent mattress for an amazing night sleep. Very hot water 24/7, big shower. At this bargain price, for a hotel in Nepal's capital city, and especially a neighborhood with this excitement and amazing shopping for trekking gear and Everest tours, this price is a bargain. Avocado Cafe and The Thamel Hotel nearby across the alley have very good affordable sit-down restaurant food as well; Hotel Thamel's entire neighborhood has good food, good people, great hot lattes, coffees, shopping, shrines, temples, local bus, taxies, 24/7 police, safe clean pubs that open at night, tons of good photo opportunities.

Netherlandswe visited hotel twice ;) because we like it so much , but second time we stayed on higher floor. in the morning there are many trackers starting their journey, and noise from the front can be disturbing. ( we stayed first on the first floor) . But second time we stayed on 5 floor and we didn’t hear any noise .
amazing location and surprisingly quiet. considering that you stay in the middle of Thamel possibility of late check out pick from airport works perfect really comfortable beds also for tall people good shower - well after trekking for many days , shower with strong pressure was amazing . But after the shower everything will wet including toilet which one is next to it, but we didn’t mind internet works good breakfast ok whole day and night there is security guard , which will welcome you everyday with big smile and will wish a great day lift
