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.).

MoroccoNothing really
Located in a quieter part of Pokhara yet very near from the main street this hotel offers a comfortable bed, warm shower and a good breakfast. What makes it so special in my opinion is that Mr Guru, the owner, was for a very long time a mountain guide. He thus, provided me with very good advices on what and how I should proceed and organize myself. Unlike other hotels he is not selling tours but just kindly sharing his knowledge. Looking forward to stay at Guru Hotel again :-)

The room was clean with everything what you might need. It was possible to adjust breakfast time, because we were leaving really early for a trip. Also Guru (the owner) helped us a lot with our trip, when we had an issue with our guide, who got sick on the last minute. He did not need to do it, but we really appreciated the help, it helped us to decide what to do

HungaryWe booked the mountain view room, where the picture shows the Himalayas and I extra asked on chat whether the room offers view of Annapurna range. Despite the photo and confirmation our room was on the opposite side and looked at the small, bushy hills. Unfortunately the view was the main decision factor for hotel selection, thus it was a pity not to have the promised view.
Kind owner, very clean hotel, comfortable beds. Little garden to enjoy breakfast outside. They prepared us early warm breakfast, as our bus was leaving early. They could arrange the bus ticket to Chitwan.

Guru and his family were really welcoming, and Guru sat and chatted with us when we sat down for breakfast. Make sure to ask for breakfast options, which include omelette, toast, yoghurt, fruit, and sausages. We found the beds to be very soft and comfortable with nice smelling towels.The hotel is a 10 min bimble to the lakeside and taxi rank.

United StatesHotel Guru is a wonderful hotel in Pokhara. The rooms are very comfortable, clean, well appointed and the service is excellent. It has a clean modern bathroom with a curtain/glass inclosed shower with plenty of hot water. The refrigerator and balcony are added pluses. They serve a great large breakfast inside or in the garden. The owner, Guru, is determined to make your stay enjoyable. He arranged my transport to Ghandunk and when I returned then to Besisahar also. This family owned hotel will certainly meet your needs as a great place to stay in Pokhara. As a avid traveler and I've been to Pokhara many times, this has been the best hotel I've stayed. Highly recommend.

PortugalI like everything.
Hotel Guru is one of the best places I've stayed at in Pokhara. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a comfortable balcony. It has everything needed even for a long stay. Excellent Wi-Fi, a small refrigerator, and a kettle, along with convenient closets, make it feel like home. The hotel is managed by wonderful, attentive, and responsive people who are pleasant to talk to and whom you can rely on for many issues. The hotel is located close to, but slightly away from, the bustling waterfront, so you can enjoy both the city's atmosphere and some seclusion. There are small shops, restaurants, and hair salons nearby. Next time, I will definitely stay here again.
