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.).

It’s definitely worth doing! A wonderful, charming hotel in an ancient building on the oldest square in the city. We asked for a specific room and it was kindly provided to us. Everything was exactly as in the photo and even a little better.

Durbar Side is a little gem in Bhaktapur. It is so centrally located to all the sites in Bhaktapur. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They showed us around Bhaktapur during the Bisket Jatra festival. The young workers made a lovely breakfast for us to have on the rooftop. The rooms are clean and comfy. We had a great time and would highly recommend Durbar Side to anyone visiting Bhaktapur.

AustriaAlthough the breakfast was delicious, we couldn't choose: bara, toast with butter and jam.
The manager let us in the room with late checkout (we paid for a half day extra) because our flight was very late evening. Thank you!

SpainWe loved the hotel, right inside the durbar square in bhaktapur. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. You have everything you need: clean bathroom, hot shower, thick blanket and we even got a balcony. They also have a rooftop with an amazing where they serve a delicious homemade breakfast. The staff made it even better and made sure we were taken care of at all times. They were very very nice. From the very beginning we knew that we would have an amazing stay, the owner picked us up and and gave us tips for our stay in bhaktapur. At the end of our stay, he offered to drive us to thamel for a very fair price, as it was raining. Definitely if you come to bhaktapur I wouldn't choose another stay that wasn't Hotel Durbar Side. Thank you for everything :)

United KingdomThere are lots of steep steps which were fine for me, but may be a challenge for those who are less mobile.
The location was unbeatable, right beside Durbar square. There were lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The location was peaceful and staff were very helpful. The breakfast was the tastiest I had in the whole of my two weeks in Nepal. I loved the bara and freshly made pancake - the coffee was also great. It took a little time to get breakfast, but it was worth it to have it made fresh to order. The room was large and clean with views out on to the street whilst still being quiet. A transfer to the airport was organised for me. Nothing was too much trouble. Bhaktapur was my favourite place to visit in Nepal - it was a great base to see other nearby villages and cultural sights and felt very authentic. I was glad I picked it as a base for three nights. The hotel was new and there was plenty of hot water.

MonacoNothing . Every thing was just in right amount.
every thing was nice . The minimalistic approach of the hotel was my main attraction. No showoff , just pure comfort. Love the attentive staff. The owner helped me a lot. It was just like family experience. Normally we do not find these kind of attentiveness and family feeling in other hotel. A must go place for all the tourist coming to Bhaktapur.

BelgiumActually nothing... It was cold outside so also the room was little bit cold. But the airco on heat made it perfect again.
The room is very big and I had actually my first hot shower since a while being in Nepal. The staff is so friendly and would try to do everything to make you comfortable. After a long hike they even brought me delicious food I had never tasted before so that I could try it. Don't hesitate stay a couple of nights in Bhaktapur. Beautiful place and a nice hotel.

The owner also helped us by sending taxi to the airport during midnight. As we were very late when we arrived at the airport. Rooms were very clean. I suggest everyone to have at least one day of stay in this hotel when visiting Bhaktapur. Lovely Place.
