How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The family who owns this guesthouse is why you want to stay here! 😍 of course you wont get five-star facilities for this price, but you will get what is needed clean room, hot water and so on. But also the outdoor area filled with flowers is nice! The location is good to, close to everything you need. Especially if its your first time Travelling to Nepal, you want a family you can trust, and who will do whatever is in their power to make you feel home and help you arrange what you want to see and do. Several of the people who stayed here had been here many times before, and we will certainly stay here next time in Kathmandu as well. Thank you so much for your hospitality 🙏

Because of the location some times in the night(mostly in the weekend) was a bit noisy. But other areas of Thamel are even more busy.
The room was nice and comfortable and the bathroom as well big and clean. The staff was amazing, very kind and helpfull, it was really a plesure to meet them! It is located in a very central touristic area.

All good.
2 minutes walk to the main Thamel streets. Lots of shops and restaurants around the hotel. Super clean, very comfortable bed and my room looked onto all the beautiful flowers and trees. Very hot water 24/7 and fast wifi. The family are very nice and do everything possible to be helpful. I booked 1 night, stayed 4. Will definitely stay here again.

Cleaning lady did very poor job in our opinion. Our shower was overflowing withing minutes, on the second day we cleaned the drain ourselves and that fixed the problem.
The hosts were fantastic! The location was top notch too, as the street in not in the main tourist drag (but a step away!).

The fact it is a family home, the family are very welcoming and hospitable. Also Thamel is mainly close-up four-story or more hotels whereas this place is a family home with terraces and space all around so not as claustrophobic as some others. The rooms could do with a little bit of an update but the bathroom was clean and modern with hot water. For the price it's well worth it. It's also in the main tourist area but a little further out so not quite as busy as some other locations. There is plenty of everything you need just outside the gate but it is also a little more chilled out.

Location is great. This is familly running guesthouse, hosts are always there, super friendly and I really liked that there on every floor has a little terrace with flowers and guests and hosts sitting together.....this is something what you cannot find nowhere. And many-many peope they are coming back to there again and again, several times. And I was thinking, that if one day I'll be back in Nepal.....I will stay there.

We are use to stay in very simple and humble places, we travel a lot and everting works as long as it’s clean and decent but please be aware that this accommodation is far from basic standard, cold, dirty, humid, dump, smelly, just go somewhere else please, trust us we did actually slept everywhere in the world and if you pay this is not acceptable.
