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 KingdomThe bathroom was a bit outdated.
Our stay at The Malla Hotel was really comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. The Malla was hosting several large weddings during our stay (one of which we were attending) and the decor, food, and organisation for the weddings was fantastic. All the staff were impeccably polite and helpful.

United KingdomThe Malla Hotel pretty much exceeded all our expectations. The hotel itself was really nice and with great facilities and service. The staff were wonderful and very attentive to all our every need. They really do bring out the best traits of the lovely Nepalese people. The location was also excellent, being a very short walk into the bustling Thamel area. The food at the hotel was also extremely nice, and we simply could not recommend this hotel more. In fact it is all so good we are thinking of returning there again in the next year or so !!

Stayed 4 nights in this great location hotel, and staff were courteous and friendly, special mention to front desk Ms Malina. She made my late check-in together with my wife a comfortable experience. Clean room too. Truly deserved the 5 stars rating.

United StatesThe hotel could use a refresh; it is showing its age. The breakfast buffet was limited.
Great location on the edge of Thamel, and so an easy walk to restaurants, shops, nightlife, and Durbar Square. Charming older luxury hotel with considerable Nepali character. Very kind, helpful and friendly staff. Nice swimming pool and garden area for dinning and relaxing. Very clean and comfortable room.

United KingdomVery slow check in procedures. On the first night we used the hotel restaurant. We were part of a group of 10 and it took over 2 hours to serve everyone single courses with accompaniments like rice or chapattis arriving half an hour after the rest of the food
A very nice hotel in a great location for visiting Thamel and the sights of Kathmandu. Door staff very helpful when needing a taxi arranging prices in advance.

United KingdomThe place is a 1970s timewarp and thredbear in parts. The rooms are quite large, but it requires complete updating and refurbishment. Although there were the trappings of a 5 star hotel, the quality was far less. There were hotels close to the Malla that had far better facilities at a competitive or equivalent price. It is most certainly not a 5 star hotel.
The location of the hotel was very convenient and the staff were excellent.
