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.).

SingaporeLocation wise it's a bit off the night spots.
Good vibes around the spacious common areas over breakfast or coffee breaks. Can feel the fresh and clean bedsheet/pillow case in the dorm. Able to Sun laundry on the roof top. A fairly good deal with complimentary breakfast. The staff is very friendly, a big shout out to Sam,

I stayed here nearly two weeks and the staff were nothing but kind and helpful. They were really good when I needed a doctor, the breakfast they made each day (all included in the price!) was amazing, and any queries I had were always met with ease and simplicity. Thanks for a great stay 🤗

United StatesThe 12 person dorm has its own bathroom and since the room wasnt full, it wasn't so bad. The AC is nice there so that was worth it. Breakfast is decent. If you're not into the deep fried stuff or breads, they will usually have fruit. Comfortable enough stay but far from the town which can be good because it's quieter but also annoying because when it rains there's no choice but to take a car. Otherwise, the walk is only 15-20 minutes which really isn't a long walk.

AustraliaNeed to fix the doors in the bathroom to the 12B dorm, as they crash and smash during the night causing annoying loud sounds. Music during the day can be a bit intense and full on. Lower volume and better playlist would be an easy rectification
Beds dorms in Pokhara, especially the 12 bed. Great helpful staff

United KingdomNothing it was a great stop for travellers!!
The views from the room were incredible when it was clear. Breakfast was well organised. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Great value stay - we booked a further for later on in our travels based purely on our experience. Speaking with other travellers in different places turned out a few of us stayed here and all had nothing. It positive things to say about the place.
