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.).

United Kingdomthe bathrooms weren't super user friendly- the shower for instance only had one hook on the outside and no rail so it was impossible to find somewhere to put all your stuff. also when i was taking a shower, someone turned either a tap/shower on or flushed the toilet and the rest of my shower was just cold... rooms were very sparse and the floor looked kinda dirty...there was nowhere other than lockers to put your things and there was only one hook at the end of your bed for you to hang things. they don't have a luggage storage facility - you can only leave your bag in between two couches in the social area, which didn't feel hugely safe.
good location, the lounge/social area was very nice too!

India1. This hostel is just another place for backpackers coming from nearby treks who need all the basic amenities. They don't have any inhouse activities, the common areas are kinda dull most of the times. 2. The staff is most of the times clueless about any local information. They would mostly repeat the information you might already know. 3. Poor ventaliton of air inside dorms.
1. The hostel is at a great location, although being in Thamel, it is a cosy space to spend your time. 2. This has been the cleanest hostel I have ever been to. They have one common washroom but extremely clean. 3. The bar is fully functional, with a really good menu. Food is great! 4. The dorm has enough space to keep your backpack.

CanadaIt was so noisy! I’ve stayed at many hostels before but this one was so loud. Although, I believe it was the location so not much the hostel can do about that.
Location was great. Staff were really chatty and super helpful.

GermanyThe common area is open, so it gets quite cold in the mornings and evenings. Shower heads splash water all over the place, which was a bit frustrating. My main concern was that the rooms were open with no locks at the door and you couldn't even close it properly, so anyone could just walk right in. Also, apparently everyone except for me could check-in 24/7, which resulted in groups of people coming into the room in the middle of the night; the staff knocked on the door loudly and shouted "I'm coming in now" and chatted to the new guests in a loud voice, even at 2 am. I'd prefer if they had a closed check-in window to not disturb other guest's sleep.
Big common area and roof terrace with inhouse restaurant/café that offers delicious food. Travel desk to plan your trips. The rooms are spacious, very clean bed linen and towels. The staff was friendly and helpful, loved that they remembered my name.

IndiaThe room was a bit hot and there were no fans or air conditioning. Probably Kathmandu was under the heat wave, however, I had a bit of a difficult time due to the heat. A table fan was arranged for me, however, when I went outside for sometime it was gone. Somehow I managed to find another one after a bit of struggle, however, I would recommend the hostel owner to install fans in the room.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room and bathroom were clean. I also liked the area near reception where you can chill out and watch TV, eat and relax.

United KingdomThe music was on the whole so loud and repetitive, it became like white noise eventually, and it made it actually one of the least social hostels I’ve been to!
Very clean, especially compared to a different hostel I stayed in in the city. Different spaces to sit & staff were cheery.
