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.).

I chose this hotel to celebrate my birthday and wow it exceeded my expectations. I had a very memorable and fantastic exeperience at Hotel Moonlight. All the staff members were very hospitable and always ready to help. Special thanks to Nabin who communicated with me since the beginning and always ready to answer my queries. Thank you for doing the extra miles and making sure i only get a unique and the best experience in Nepal. To those handsome and professional drivers Anil and Sobet, general manager Jiv and cheerful Umaa, receptionist and restaurant staff, all good security members and beautiful people. To be honest everybody was very nice to me. I highly recommend Hotel Moonlight in Kathmandu. My birthday was super because of you. Thank you everyone!

AustraliaMattress was not so great and pillows not the best- I didn't have the best sleep here however hotel was lovely, I would still stay again. Breakfast- eggs cooked to order and a large range of options however I felt it could have a slight improvement. Staff are quite attentive which is a plus. When I ordered food off the menu for dinner it didn't match the description- queried and we were all confused. Not a big deal, 'no expectations' is my motto when travelling.
Room was spacious and clean, staff were helpful and friendly. Had a really great massage at their spa. Courtyard is divine and so cosy- I loved spending time there under the flags. Starting hotel for many tours. Provide drinking water on every level which is convenient and helpful.

The rooms are really noce and complete. The bed was perfect. I loved the hot shower. The staff is teally friendly and interested. Having breakfast in the garden is a must do. And don't forget to visit the rooftop to watch the city walking up or the mountains when the sky is clear enough.

United KingdomMy room was on the first floor above the kitchen/restaurant. The noise from people cleaning up in the kitchen continued until about 11.30pm and carried up the stairs - so it was very loud in my room. Also there were people talking very very loudly in the reception area pretty much all night and this again was very noisy in my room and stopped me sleeping - I can only assume that this was members of staff, but I can’t be sure.
Great location close to the action of Thamel but away from the busy road. Lovely garden and roof top terrace with great city views to relax in. Nice rooms. Free drinking water provided with a refill station available. Food very good. Very good massages available at the onsite spa. Professional luggage storage provided free of charge.
