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.).

United KingdomWiFi is a bit slow in the room on top floor but great in the hall or lower floors.
I chose this hotel because I needed to stay just an extra night closer to the airport in Kathmandu before my flight early in the morning. The location is amazing, 10 seconds from Buddha Stupa and you can enjoy the view to it from the roof top! It also gets very quite at night as transport is not allowed in this area. I had a large suitcase and the concierge was so kind to meet me at the gate to the area to help me to get to the hotel. The sheets were very clean and the bed was very comfy.

CanadaThis year we wanted to stay in a better room so we booked a balcony room, long in advance! We were staying more days. We had the surprise to get totally another one, not even the double bad we asked for. We have been told we would get it later. It was not true. We had a discount instead, but honestly we wanted the room not the discount. The staff is EXTREMELY kind, they try to do their best, this is why we returned at this hotel.
Great location, getting out from the hotel we get directly to the Stupa. If your expectations are to have a great location at a low price, it is great. There is no special breakfast, as we read on other reviews, no such thing as "asian" breakfast. There are 2 slices of bread (toasted) with egg and a banana. With tea or coffee. There is no kettle in the room but you can request one. There are no cups but you can request...

GermanyThe "Little Buddha" is a small and modest, nice and clean place at an affordable price, just a few steps from the Boudha stupa circle. Good food is available right next door in the "Sherpa Kitchen" restaurant. Sonam and Sudip were always friendly and helpful. It was an excellent "base camp" for my days in Kathmandu.

IndiaThey checked us in for first 2 nights and then 1 night. We had no idea during our whole stay that the payment was not deducted by booking dot com, and the property did not ask no questions about payment unless we reached at the airport immigration after check out. For any normal person whose card details are saved in booking dot com, would not have a question in mind about the payment not being done. Out of nowhere, the property manager and the receptionist Sangye called and messaged me non stop at the airport, it kinda became nuisance because I had politely told them that I would settle the payment after confirming with booking dot com once I clear immigration and land my destination as I had a tight time schedule between immigration and boarding. Also told them not to worry and that we just needed to call and confirm with the website. That’s when they started harassing me with police threats, and defamation on social media. Said that they would stop my flight, called me fraud, said we ran away in CCTV camera; i just want to understand how does a fraud escape a scene? Of course with a haste in their walks, concealing face etc, but we had nothing to cover ourselves, we were very relaxed the entire morning of check out, even offered Rs 500 to Sangye after breakfast while leaving. Besides, we told Sangye several times since the beginning that we would be checking out after 3 nights. I was shattered to receive multiple and repeated threats from manager and Sangye. Some of the messages about social media threats have been removed by the sender as shown in the screenshots. The only reason I am reporting this is because of their unprofessionalism, and cheap conduct to threaten me using my passport copy. It was a nightmare experience. Regardless of threat used or not, I was to pay if booking dot com had not charged us like I was clear from the beginning of the issue. Once I landed and verified from the third party, i made the payment swiftly.
Nothing can we recall of.
