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.).

Verified reviewI would not recommend to stay unless you're on tight budget. The price is the only advantage. Don't expect much. No towels provided, old hard bed, slow wifi, dirty bathroom, no service. I traveled around the world, always on budget. It's not a luxury if you expect basic courtesy and friendly attitude as a customer. That's called hospitality. A lot of noise from the street, the room is right next to the front entrance and reception. You can hear everything going all day around. No chill here. See pics. We had an issue, the booking & price was refering to attached bathroom. There is none. Instead of an compenzation we encountered EGO-friendly owner who don't care about you/us-customers. He called me cheap and got arrogant atitude. Very sad story here. In addition they cancelled my booking at the end of our stay for no reason. The auto message was due to "not showing up". Property of course not responding. Staff unable to help. We stayed as per booking and payd full price in cash at the reception. Not nice again. We certainly didn't feel welcome here. Please consider before booking 🙏

Verified reviewProbably the best hostel that you can get for this price. Despite its good location, it is a great space of peace in the chaos of thamel. The dorms are ok - it depends of the people that are here, like all of them-, but the rooms are clean and you'll have your little space. But what really highlight this establishment is the community and communal spaces : you have a good space to chill outside of the rooms, that you can use for pretty much everything you want, and my favorite part - the restaurant, where they serve great food for a very reasonable price, and it is located on the last floor, so you'll have a really great view on the cities lights and a fair bit of trees, wich is definitely enjoyable Now come the best part : the people. The staff is really helpful, nice, down to help, flexible... You name it. They are able to speak a pretty good english as well, and they're definitely enjoyable to be around. What i really preferred tho is the community : i dont know if it a regular occurrence, but on the several nights that i have been to the restaurant, (wich is definitely not as crowded as it should be), i was with little groups of teenagers that were playing/singing along/listening to really good songs, sometimes with a guitar, and they were really talented. If you're in that field and you have the ability, please make them famous worldwide as soon as possible ! Overall, it's an amazing hostel and i recommend you to at least pay it a visit !
Thank you Alexandre, for the beautiful review ☺️, Hope to see you soon again 😊

Verified reviewWe loved staying here. The place is amazing: the rooms are comfortable, always clean, the shared spaces are super cool, the location is perfect. And most of all the owner and the staff are the best. They were really nice and helpful with everything. We made friends, shared experiences and loved every second. Leaving was very hard,we kept postponing. We fell in love of Kathmandu and we fell in love with this place, a home in Nepal now.

Verified reviewAarogya is a nice place to be, the staff is professional and helpful and they always have a smile on their face. I kept and will keep coming back to this place whenever I'm in Kathmandu. It's also a good place to meet other backpackers and the location is central in Thamel but at the same time very quiet without any noise from the streets.
