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...).

SingaporeI wish there was a hairdryer for every room - they only had one for sharing and it was constantly lent out. Also, not about the hotel per se, but you’ll hear vehicles honking and dogs barking even past midnight.
It was clean and comfortable. I especially liked the hot water, water pressure and the wifi (it dropped at times but was sufficiently reliable). Oh and for the complimentary breakfast, the eggs were yummy! The staff are friendly and helpful and the manager Raj even helped to arrange a ride to the bus station (extra service). Take note there are no toiletries so bring your own. Oh and that there is no daily housekeeping but I was fine with that for a short stay.

CanadaFantastic location, helpful and friendly staff willing to accommodate any and all requests. Big rooms, good wifi, pleasant rooftop, varied breakfast options all at a very good value. Right in Thamel but down a quiet side street so peaceful than other spots. Highly recommend.

IndiaIf only this property had a elevator.. :) it aint a negative at all, though. :)
Usually dont think of giving a 9 or 10 rating to a property, but this place deserves it. One of the best places we have stayed in among all the hotels ever, personally. Located in the heart of thamel in a quiet street. The best part of the place is the service level. The staff are always very courteous and happy to help. The breakfast was quite sumptuous and good. Would stay again in this place without a 2nd thought. Keep up the great service... :)

United KingdomGreat location. The staff are really friendly and always on hand to help. I appreciated the free airport pickup and the fact they can also book busses and transport for you throughout Nepal. I think I'll always stay here when I come to Kathmandu in the future 👍🏼 can't beat it for the price Ps - got to try the momos at Old Everest Momo centre across the road! They are the best in town without a doubt.

The staff are absolutely incredible. If they said they were going to do something for you...IT WAS DONE! They always had time to talk and their smiles were from the heart. The location is excellent to walk in the lanes and streets in Thamel. The breakfast was great and plenty.

GermanyEveryone at Hotel Yambu was very kind and helpful! The staff as well as the owner helped with all our questions. We got picked up from the airport and the owner even helped arrange a bus to our next location. The location of the Hotel was great, right in the touristic center of Thamel but still quiet.

AustraliaThere's nothing to not like about this place. Obviously, there are more expensive options outside which may provide better facilities. But the warmth that you will get in this place is not easily replicable.
Breakfast - standard fare but fulfilling Lunch / Dinner - the hotel has its own multi-cuisine restaurant and the food was exceptionally good and reasonably priced. The staff went above & beyond to accommodate our requests and on one occassion, even cooked up something that we wanted which was not on the menu! Location - at the heart of the tourist district in Thamel Staff - Excellent, that's the word...they will give you the "homestay" feeling even in a hotel. But this was true through our entire trip across Nepal; the Nepali people really know how to make their guests feel welcome. After my trip, I even sent my very aged parents over to Nepal on the same itinerary, that's how confident I was of the Nepali people taking care of them. And of all the folks we interacted with across the two trips, Raj (owner of Yambu), always gave us the comfort feeling that we were in known territory, even though it was a different country! I have travelled a lot and cannot say this for any other place or person!
