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 reviewLovely family run accommodation in a more quiet area of Kathmandu. The family were really so kind and welcoming and I had a great time chatting with them in the evening. More laid back approach. Definitely would stay there with them again next time. Really accommodating to your unique circumstances.

Verified reviewI arrived very tired after a long bus journey. They didn't know I was coming and were fully booked. Eventually they offered me to sleep in their son's bedroom. I had booked a room with a private bathroom but they said they don't have any rooms like that, even though it clearly says 'private bathroom' in the ad. Their son seemed to be annoyed with me the whole time I was there. He locked me out of the property on the second day and then locked me in on the third day. That's incredibly dangerous. One evening, the father banged on my door at 9.30 pm and walked in, saying he needed a blanket. He looked everywhere in the room, then left again. I've never experienced anything like that before. When I told him I was checking out, he was surprised that I didn't want to stay with them anymore and said that because I'm a Buddhist, I should want to stay with them. I never said I was a Buddhist.
Thank you for your recent visit. We strive to provide the best service and comfort to all our guests. We kindly ask for honest and constructive feedback on Booking.com to help us improve further. We noticed that during your stay, you enjoyed the amenities, including the comfortable blankets provided. However, there seems to be an unpaid balance of Rs. 120 for the vegetarian Chow you got free . We kindly request you to settle this amount at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Verified reviewThis authentic experience with Tibetan Buddhist family🙏🌈📿⛰️ Welcomed us at the airport with garlands of flowers 🌺 waited three hours for delayed flights! Simple Buddhist life style , made so welcome with exceptional love and care 🙏 Invited to meditate with Mira the Homestay mother🙏 Homestay father was at my friend’s bedside when she was taken ill and helped book her into an exceptional hospital that mended her torn ligament and diagnosed her with an, until now, undiagnosed kidney problem 🙏 Welcomed us to share in their Nepali home made food at fractional cost. Absolute value for price of nightly stay. Trekking offered, as Palsang has decades of experience and contacts to help you climb the Himalayan mountains and beyond into to Tibet🙏
It is in busy Katmandu! but on the outskirts so views of the mountains rather than the pollution of the crowded city.

Verified reviewThe host is very kind and friendly, when we talk about the WiFi he immediately checked it and works well for me. So I will say here has a good service. And here is not far from Thamel and Swayambhunath Stupa Monkey Temple, you can just walk there or choose motorcycle in indrive with low price. They also give services like Trekking/Hiking & Chitwan & Jungle Safari, Tourist Bus/Jeep Transaction & Mountain flight service.
The surroundings are being developing when I came here.

Verified reviewIf you want to stay away from the touristy part of Kathmandu, its good location. Also, as all buses run on Ring Road, if that is what you need, the home is 2 minutes walk from there. Yet, the house is very silent. It is a homestay, meaning a family is your host. They were nice and respectful people. The woman made me dinner and even walked to the corner to pick me up when i needed to help with finding the house. The man of the house helped with phone call and also got up at 5.50 in the morning of my leaving and prepared a tea for me. Nepali hospitality at its best. Thank you for everything.

Verified reviewHimalaya Vacations Home has a good location far away from the noisy center. The beds are confortable and you have hot water, good WIFI and good service. The nepali family is very friendly and Maya is a very good cook. Palsang is also a guide and he can help you if you need it. Very close from the Monkey Temple area.
Todo bien.

I was not there at that moment but my wife was there. We never asked NPR 2000 price for a room till this date. This is the first time we have heard this kind of complaints. My wife told me that you just spent 15 minutes and without staying you went back. In terms of financial trouble with guest, we even serve without any cost. We even offer compliments tea, coffee and volunteering services. We are happy to serve our guests as they are god to us.

Verified reviewThe location is good as it's a 25 minute walk away from the center of Kathmandu and very close to the monkey temple! This is a good place for a more relaxed stay, as it's not as busy as Thamal and therefore gives a bit more breathing room! The host is very helpful and kind and offer food throughout the day.

Verified reviewOpen space in the terrace and balcony, mostly quiet and peaceful.
The hosts were disturbing early in the morning outside our room and also they charged more than the amount said in the app. They did not have any online money transfer service and there were no ATMs nearby. Location was very hard to find as it was inside a small street plus the road was miserable. Never going there again!!
