Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Simple but well managed hotel with their own garden restaurant. Verandas on each floor where I often meet other travelers, mostly young trekking people but now and then older people with interesting stories. I always stay there when in Kathmandu because it's efficient and cosy. If you want a spotless high standard western hotel, chose a more expensive one.

No complaints
Amazing staff, so friendly and always happy to help. I had a room on the 4th floor so was nicely removed from the street noise below. I just had a basic room but it was spacious and had everything that I needed - double bed, desk, chairs, wardrobe, coathanger, fan, soap, etc. Amazing value for money and I hope to stay again when I come back through Kathmandu next.

I was happy with everything!
I felt very safe in the solid traditional building. I was in Kathmandu during the earthquake in 2015, staying in a nearby hotel, so still felt a little apprehension. My room on the fourth floor was perfect for my week's stay. I had a couple of room requests which were very quickly satisfied. The location is well-known to taxi drivers and people working in the industry, and it is very convenient. The staff go above and beyond to help guests. Thank you to all...🙏

We love yala peak! We stay every time we have come to Kathmandu, and they even remember our names! The staff are so lovely and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is good in Thamel, but also nicely tucked away so the roof terrace is away from the main roads. Yes the surroundings are noisy but it's probably as quiet as you could get in the middle of Kathmandu. The food in the restaurant is delicious and it's also a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend it to be your base in Kathmandu.

Cold room, no heating and on the first day we had a problem with the hot water in the bathroom. Detail: here we are in winter.
The location, the friendliness and politeness of the staff, the value for money. Simple, economical, ideal for travelers with little money and no luxuries.

Noise in the morning but this is not related to the hotel staff. Smokers in the designated spots but can still bother the sensitive non smoker.
Clean room, comfy bed, super staff (young, welcoming, very helpful and always smiling). Surprisingly quiet. A bit of noise in the early morning but not related to the hotel staff. More the locals going to work. Excellent restaurant. Will adapt food to you likings and taste. Could not ask for better. For the price this is by far the best place I have found.
