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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

IndiaThe nature of mountain towns leads to power shortages which can cut wifi and water around the place. However this is for all hotels and hostels in the mountains so its not the fault of the hostel owner. If you work from home, make sure you have data and you'll be completely fine, there around 3 or 4 bars of 4g data avaliable for airtel at the hostel.
The location is insanely beautiful, with a view of Kanchenjunga every morning when the clouds part. In a cute mountain valley, much nicer than staying in the town. They serve breakfast for free and have a dinner you can request at night time. The staff is extremely kind and the beds are some of the most comfortable ive stayed in all of india. I booked for two nights and ended up staying for the week!

IndiaThe property is also home to a family of 4 and, therefore, very well maintained and clean. The food is home-cooked by aunty, and most ingredients come from the kitchen garden. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and modern. And the view is simply amazing. Plenty of common areas to sit and enjoy the view. The property is right next to Mochilero Ostello.

IndiaSituated a little away from the city in Singyang village, this place is a hidden gem. Neat and clean beds, breathtaking views of the Kanchenjunga and tasty organic food are the pros of this place. The place is owned and managed by the Gurung family, each of them very sweet and helpful. Highly recommend.

IndiaThe Gurungs have an excellent homestay set up here. The private room that I booked was cozy and comfy. Kitchen space and bathroom were shared with other guests but it barely felt so. There was a feeling of community among other guests and the owners are hospitable, generous and we'll informed. If you love animals and kids and need a room with a view, THIS is the place to stay in Pelling. You can also opt for meals which are priced at 150-200. Breakfast was complimentary. Bike/scooter rentals can also be acquired here. At night you have bonfire, song-dance. Highly recommended 💕

IndiaI came with no expectations when I arrived, but the homestay exceeded them in every way. The remote location brought stunning views of the snow-capped Mt.Kanchenjunga right from my room. The warmth and hospitality of the homestay owners Naresh Daju, Aunty, Rubina, Nishal, and Ashmit made it truly special. Bonfires, music, and a variety of local drinks, including the delightful rhododendron wine and Tongba, added to the charm. The organic, delicious food crafted by Auntie, with a focus on homegrown ingredients, sealed the deal. While staying there, I felt like family; the homestay was a true home away from home. I even supported and cheered for Naresh daju and Ashmit for their football game, I immersed myself in the local spirit of Pelling and joined the audince. The local people made me feel like I was not an outsider. Amidst leisure, I connected with nature in a profound way, away from city life, surrounded by mountains, hearing birds, bees, and feeling the soothing wind. It was a surreal experience, offering solitude and seclusion from the crowd. Little Srishtika, the sweetest kid there, added an extra layer of joy to my stay. Her morning and evening visits, calling me 'Dada,' made me feel even more connected to this special place. This connection compels me to return, as it was a place of tuanquility that I hadn't experienced in a very long time. A perfect blend of nature, hospitality, local life, and unforgettable moments. I left with a heart full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime ❤️ I am definitely coming back here soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Wake in Himalayas which was earlier called Mochilero Ostello. From the vibrant atmosphere to the stunning view of Mt. Kanchenjunga right from my dorm, every moment was delightful. The people, including Naren dada, aunty, Rubeena, Nishal, Ashmit, Anita, and the charming little girl Sristika, made me feel like a part of their family. The homemade meals were a highlight, prepared with fresh vegetables from their garden and accompanied by delicious chutneys. Originally booking for just one day, I extended my stay to 7 days, finding it hard to leave this welcoming environment. The experience was so memorable that I've decided to make it my second home. I even joined in the excitement of the West Sikkim football tournament, supporting Naren dada and Ashmit's teams. For exploration, bike rentals were conveniently available, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay.

IndiaSometimes it's so cloudy that Kanchenjunga is not visible 😐
I had the pleasure of staying at "Wake in Himalayas," formerly known as Mochirello Ostello, and it was an absolute delight. This homestay offers a unique and unforgettable experience in the lap of nature. First and foremost, the food here is a true highlight. Every meal is a culinary journey of locally sourced, organic ingredients straight from their own land. The flavors are authentic, and the quality is unmatched. It's a treat for anyone who appreciates home-cooked meals. The hospitality provided by Naresh Ji and his family is unparalleled. They make you feel like a part of their own family, and their warmth and friendliness are simply heartwarming. They go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable and memorable. The location of this homestay is a dream for nature lovers. With plenty of open spaces, you can relax and take in the breathtaking view of the Kanchenjunga mountain range. It's a haven for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The rooms are cozy and beautifully constructed in traditional Nepali style, with wooden accents that add to the overall charm. The homestay is also pet-friendly, making it an ideal choice for those traveling with their furry companions. In summary, "Wake in Himalayas" is a hidden gem in the Himalayas, offering not only a comfortable and scenic stay but also a truly authentic and heartwarming experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this region.

IndiaEverything about the place is quiet and peaceful. And then when you wake up in the morning, from your room when you look outside of the window, you realise the mighty Kanchanjunga is just right in front of you, looking at you. That felt amazing. And the food here is exceptional. Everything is organic and yumm. I also got to taste the local tungba drink which is soo good. People are amazing... This place is a must to visit and stay...
