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.).

United KingdomComfy bed in dorm, tasty breakfast included, always hot showers, always clean 😁 I have stayed at Elbrus Home several times now, for prolonged periods. Khem and the guys are always very friendly and make you feel so at home. They are keen to make sure everybody's stay is as comfortable as possible. So when I arrived again this time it felt like I was arriving home. Highly highly recommend 😊

I loved staying at Elbrus Home! The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the main part of Thamel & there's a lovely view from the rooftop. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable & the breakfasts were plentiful. Khem is also such a friendly guy. He can help with lots of info & even arranges airport pick up/drop off for a small fee.

BelgiumSuper Guesthome hided behind a green and cosy patio, so little protected from the City. It's located 5min North of Thamel, so perfect to stay just nearby the energy of this area. The rooms and beds are super comfy and large, with desk and plugs, enough space to get organised in your trip. The showers are super clean and nearby each room. There is also a terrace at every floor, the view on KTM is amazing !! The owner is all the time there to give any help or manage everything for you. When you need some rest or contacts, just join the patio. Breakfast there in the morning is perfect. You can also leave some luggage there if you don't want to carry it all during a trek. To recommend without hésitation !!

NetherlandsVery friendly hostel and quite comfy beds. Also, the shower has good pressure (difficult to find). They accommodated us in a different room with a private bathroom for the same price as they were fully booked due to the busy period. Moreover, We saw them cleaning all the shared spaces daily. Good place for the price. It is simple and very comfy. Staff is friendly and always with a smile.

IrelandThe location is very good, close to everything in Thamel. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, they really made me feel welcome. The owner, Khem, is a really nice guy and very accommodating. I booked my trekking and other tours through his brother, Prakash, and they were all very well organised. Khem and Prakash both helped to make my time in Nepal very enjoyable.

GreeceRooms could have been cleaner.
Excellent Bfast for what you are paying in total. The location is excellent near Thamel street and central. Well of course for the amount we paid I did not expect a 5* facility or to be as clean as a 5* one but I believe the rooms could be cleaner in general.

Staff were so lovely and helpful and the property was amazing. Lovely terraces with great views and very comfortable rooms. The breakfast included is also substantial and delicious - unbelievable value for money. Also great location, a stones throw from the Thamel area but slightly tucked away from the hustle and bustle definitely reccomend.
