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.).

Special thanks to Mr. Sanjog Adhikari, manager of the hotel, nice and kind hearted man. My room was spotless and well-appointed, with a beautiful lake and mountain views. The breakfasts were delicious and offered a wide variety of options. I especially appreciated the convenient location, making it easy to explore the city.

IrelandThe power / electricity was a little bit temperamental which wasn't ideal for overnight. But I understand that it was monsoon season and storms will affect this
Staff were super friendly and everything was very efficient. They were so quick to help and sort anything that we needed. Also a great location for yoga / gyms close by. Only a short walk into the main bars / cafes.

BangladeshI stayed at Hotel Lake Shore for 2 nights and honestly, it was a lovely experience. I booked a double room with a lake view, and the view alone made the stay worth it. The location is perfect, close to everything but still peaceful. Breakfast was fresh, tasty, and had a nice variety — a great start to the day. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but a special shoutout to Sanjog, the Operations Manager. He was super professional and made sure everything went smoothly during my stay. You can tell he really cares about guest experience.

TaiwanThe hotel is tucked in a peaceful neighborhood just 5-10 mins walk from the city centre. The room is spacious, clean, and comes with a nice view of the mountains and lake. Might even get a view of Annapura/Himalayan ranges when the sky's clear. Shout out to Sanjog, who is very attentive and helps me greatly with planning my days including sunrise trip in Sarangkot and sunset at iStupa. The staff are also very kind. I'd definitely like to stay here when I visit Pokhara next time. Highly recommended.

JapanWater was a bit tepid but no worries during our stay as it was quite hot.
Spacious and comfortable room - definitely recommend the rooms with balconies as you can see the lake to your left and the Annapurna range to the right! It’s more quiet than further up the road in Lakeside, so we liked the area better. It still has a lot of restaurants and a mini mart nearby so very convenient. Sanjog, the manager, is an excellent host and very easy to communicate with and fast to reply! We were grateful to have his kindness and attention during our stay.

DenmarkWe had a great stay here. The hotel is very homely and charming, and the location is in my opinion one of the best locations at the lakeside in Pokhara. A bit away from the traffic of lakeside you are close to everything but can at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet combined with an amazing view of the lake. The staff were very friendly and Sanjog, the hotel manager, was extremely helpful and kind throughout the stay. Would definitly recommend staying here.

United StatesStaffs at hotel lake shore is reason that my stay and experience has been exceptional. The manager Sanjog is the man!!! From the booking till leaving, staff is always there to help you out, on food recommendations , tour booking recommendation (could use some comparison from street), and bus ticket booking. Location is closed to tourist bus park which helps lot if you are taking the bus. it’s a bit of walk to lakeside if you want to relax at some restaurants and drinks where locals go to for sunset and pictures. The only little thing(personal preference) I would recommend to change is probably the towels, and breakfast selection (still great!) can be updated or be more flexible on items.

AustraliaI had an amazing experience at this hotel, thanks to Sanajog, the Operations Manager. He worked tirelessly, always going the extra mile, and made the stay awesome. His friendly and outgoing nature created such a welcoming atmosphere.What stood out most was how quickly he responded to requests, always ensuring everything was taken care of immediately. The hotel offers great value for money, and the breakfast was delicious. Sanajog also organized the bus journey from Pokhara to Kathmandu, which was convenient. He also dropped me off at the tourist bus stop. The staff here are equally helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect—just 5-10 minutes from the main area, within walking distance, but still away from the noise. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-run place to stay!

He upgraded our room with same price. Even he goes way out of his line to help guests. When we missed an activities bus he dropped us by himself.
