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 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):
- 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.).

Dear Neha, Thank you for taking the time to rate your stay at The Sherpa's Abode. While we appreciate the 7/10 rating—which is considered quite good in our region—we would like to take a moment to clarify a few points, as we take guest feedback very seriously: 1. According to our records, your stay with us was limited to a single night. You checked in late at night and checked out early the next morning, which left little to no opportunity for us to interact with you or address any concerns in person. 2. We accommodated multiple last-minute changes to your reservation, including a delayed check-in by one day and an early day check-out—both of which were adjusted without any additional charges, even though the rooms went vacant on both days as they were blocked for you. 3. Although you had booked a non-balcony room, upon your arrival you requested a view room. We were happy to upgrade you to a Balcony room at no extra cost to ensure your comfort. We remain committed to offering the best possible experience to all our guests and welcome any suggestions for improvement. That said, we kindly encourage guests to provide reviews based on a fuller experience of our hospitality, as a great deal of effort goes into maintaining our standards. Warm regards, The Sherpa's Abode

Verified reviewExceptional 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.
Since we came in the monsoon season, we would see fog outside but the property has no demerits.

Verified reviewI 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.

Verified reviewMr. 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.
There were no complains or any cons that I could see.

A bit tricky to reach from road label with heavy luggage
Dear Sir, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the hilly terrain posed a challenge for carrying your luggage; however, such terrain is a natural aspect of most hillside destinations, and many guests find it part of the charm. To assist our guests, we always offer luggage support and had sent multiple communications prior to your arrival. Unfortunately, you arrived unannounced and unexpectedly with multiple bicycles, which made it difficult for our team to assist you promptly. Additionally, while your booking was made for two guests, you arrived as a family of four. Despite this, we did our best to accommodate everyone comfortably without any additional charges, as a gesture of goodwill. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Warm regards, The Sherpa's Abode

Verified review1. 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 :)
Dear Nandita Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Your feedback matters to us. We hope to see you again soon!!

Verified review1. 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
The 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.

Verified reviewThe 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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Verified reviewStaying 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.
