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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

IndiaSince we came in the monsoon season, we would see fog outside but the property has no demerits.
Exceptional and so serene and peaceful place, it is on the way to Nathula pass. The view from balcony is outstanding and they serve homemade healthy food which you would like. Our family stayed for 2 days and we really enjoyed our stay. Hospitality and attentiveness to detail is best about it.

I stayed at Sherpa's adobe with my parents. The stay was comfortable and I must say Mr Sherpa is a great host. The helping staff is also very polite and helping. The stay slightly far from the main city but you won't regret staying here. The city view is breathtaking and much quite in comparison to the main city. Would definitely book this stay if I visit Gantok again.

IndiaThere were no complains or any cons that I could see.
Mr. Sherpa is very helpful and friendly. Right from when u are about to reach Gangtok to until you are leaving, he ensures that you are safe and checks-in to see if you need any help. He gave suggestions about the nearby places to visit and arranges trips to north sikkim, etc. Rooms are spacious, neat and has room service is good.

India1. The hosts Nimaji and his wife were amazing. .sweet, kind, warm and welcoming. We got to hear them about their lives and about local sikkimese life which was wonderful. 2. The food they served was wonderful... local sikkim home food with all the warmth of a home cooked meal 3. Staff is super helpful and very sweet 4. The views from the balconies were wonderful 5. We stayed at 3 places in sikkim and while the others were impersonal hotels, this was was the highlight in terms.of hospitality. We had picked the homestay knowing that it's away from central gangtok (m.g. marg etc) so plan for local taxis to go to MG road and back The hosts helped us with all of this and ensured to go to and fro back comfortably. It felt like we had someone looking out for us while we were there :)

IndiaThe property is a bit far from Gangtok town, which means a quiet atmosphere for relaxation but one would need a cab ride to get to the town for shopping / etc.
1. The hosts were kind, generous and made our stay wonderful 2. The food is delicious to the extent we looked forward to breakfast and dinner everyday 3. The room was comfortable, clean and had all reasonable facilities that one could ask for 4. The staff were excellent and were always ready to help with a smile to any small requests that we had 5. We were given a free upgrade to a balcony room and were kindly loaned some warm jackets and gloves that we were missing for our visit to NathuLa I would whole heartedly recommend this place for anyone looking for a place to stay in Gangtok

IndiaEverything was perfect.
The Sherpa Abode is hands down the best place to stay in Gangtok. Nima Uncle is an incredible host—he’ll guide you through everything and treat you like family. Chunki Aunty’s cooking is out of this world; once you taste her food, nothing else will compare! The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing and definitely worth it—watching the mountains from there is a memory we’ll cherish forever. We had a truly pleasant stay and absolutely loved the homestay. Both Uncle Nima and Aunty Chunki are gems of people, and their warmth and hospitality made our visit unforgettable. We’ll definitely stay here every time we visit Sikkim. Thank you so much, Uncle Nima and Aunty Chunki, for making our stay so special! God bless you both. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

IndiaI liked everything
Staying at Sherpa's Abode was a truly heartwarming experience. Uncle, Aunty, and the entire staff welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like part of their family. Aunty's food was hands down the best we've had during our trip—every meal was cooked with so much love and care. Their adorable dogs, Shelly and Caesar, added to the charm of our stay. They were incredibly friendly and made us feel even more at home. The warmth, love, and hospitality we experienced here are unmatched. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Sherpa's Homestay to anyone looking for a memorable and cozy retreat. Our stay was for three days Dec 25th to 27th.

The hosts and his wife were very friendly, helped me to the best experience I could get from a 3 day stay in Gangtok, including a hike in the wildlife sanctuary.

IndiaThere's nothing to dislike. Only concern is for people with difficulty in climbing steps will have little issue as they will need to climb few steps to go to the homestay. Though it was not very difficult steps to climb but better to be aware of it.
Everything. ☺️ Uncle was constantly in touch with us till we reach safely to the homestay. Tradition style Welcome was very warm. He instantly arranged for the sightseeing with discount. Food cooked by aunty was with love and it was super delicious. Rooms are spacious with balcony view. The helping staff were very courteous and nice. Even after leaving the place, He called us to make sure that we have reached to our next destination safely. Overall it was an awesome experience.
