Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandBooked for one night and extended twice turned into a week! Friendly staffs and a thoughtful vision for connecting with local communities by bringing together travelers from around the world to experience Nepal through a local lens. The space fosters diversity, open conversations, and a true sense of connection through localized events and activities. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, varied, nourishing, and prepared with care. The walking tour took us beyond the usual attractions and into the heart of the valley. It’s so much more than just a place to sleep, thank you team!

GermanyThere are not really any interesting shops, cafés or bars nearby.
Fantastic hostel! The best one I have stayed at during my 3-month trip. Staff are incredibly friendly and funny. I left some things in my room and they immediately contacted me about it. Conveniently located if you want to explore Patan, for example on one of their many free walking tours. The street is very quiet at night. The restaurant next door serves super tasty authentic dishes from different regions of Nepal and a different free breakfast each day.

NepalI booked Nextdoor Patan after reading wonderful reviews on Booking.com, and I must say, it lived up to my expectations! The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat in a quiet location. One of the highlights of my stay was the lovely outdoor space, where I enjoyed breakfast under the warm morning sun—a perfect way to start the day. The breakfast itself was delightful, and the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. As my event ran late into the night, the hotel provided me with a main door pin, allowing me to return at my convenience without any hassle. Being a non-smoker, I truly appreciated the smoke-free and odor-free environment, which made my stay even more pleasant. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Nextdoor Patan to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay!

AustraliaExcellent place to stay - really great location. The double private room was very spacious and the staff were very welcoming. We weren't able to pay by credit card on their system but they sent the link and that worked well. Would recommend. Note that the hotel asked for a review but I would have given them this rating anyway

FinlandRestaurant wasn't nothing special. All vegetarian dishes was served without much vegetables, no nutrition values thought at all. Dishes have fancy names, and the Nepali districts were mentioned as origins, but it doesn't help, if the dishes don't keep your hunger at bay.
The hostel was very clean, and cleaners did really good work every day to maintain the cleanliness. Location was good, but on a quiet road, not much noise outside.. Kathmandu's air pollution is catastrofic, nothing can help that, so the air was overall polluted. Staff was really nice. I stayed in a female dorm, a spacious cubicle with curtains, a big locker and a good mattress.

United KingdomThe BEST hostel experience I've had! - Good price 💸 - Hot/cold Water free Refill 💧 - Good breakfast 🍳 - Friendly and fun staff 👨💼👩💼 - Great building, rooms and beds Don't miss out on a fun time meeting wonderful people. They really have put a lot of effort and thought into making it a special experience that shows the possibilities of what fun hostels can be I ended up cooking for the whole hostel when asked to cook my favourite dishes with help, they bought all the ingredients Everyone that visits seems relaxed and always up for chatting, or plan group hikes.

Hong KongThe staff were very nice and helpful. Due to weather conditions I was stuck in the road, so I messaged the hostel saying that my arrival time would be uncertain. They quickly responded to me and ensured that someone would open the door for me. The next day the street was flooded, under this extreme weather, the staff still made sure to provide us breakfast and sent us to another accommodation due to the flooding situation. Super responsible staff, very very nice, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hostel.
