How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood Location in central Thamel. Comfy Bed. The Balcony in the Family Room at the 5th Floor. Friendly and helpful Owner and Family.
There is no Shower Head. Overall cleanliness should be improved. Many Steps up and down. Breakfast is just basic.

Verified reviewLocation within walking distance to sightseeing, great staff, facilities are simple and old but kept clean for a dome room. There are no partition curtains, but each person has their own outlet so there is no problem charging batteries. Bathroom is spacious, toilet paper is provided, and hot shower is also available. Breakfast is orthodox with sliced bread, omelette, jam, butter and banana, but the local butter and freshly made local milk tea were excellent. The owner's family is often in another hotel, but they are very kind, so I would like to use it again. (There is a rooftop, but it is all stairs so be careful if you have large luggage or are elderly, but the staff will help you when checking in.)
Nothing really. Value for money.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Verified reviewWe had a really nice stay at Rambler hostel. Shalik and his wife are really kind hosts and always there to help or answer your questions. The shower is very good (hot water, good pressure) and the bed is super comfortable. Very good, central location. We would definitely stay here again!
Thank you very much!

Verified reviewThis family-driven guesthouse is located in the center of Thamel and it was much better than we'd have expected for that price! Small breakfast was included and we've been here 5 nights to visit all sights in and outside of Kathmandu. Lots of restaurants are very close. They even offer Laundry service. Thanks to the family for a wonderful time🙏🏻
Nothing

Verified reviewWe had the room with the balcony and it was so nice! Beautiful view and comfortable spacious room. The family was very sweet and breakfast was good (egg omelet, toast, jam, and tea)! Good location near lots of restaurants and shops but still quiet!
Everything was great! They should install a shower head though.
THANK YOUR VERY MUCH!

Verified reviewSuper friendly and extremely helpful host, very close to everywhere in Kathmandu - a bit noisy at night, but still much quieter than the rest of Thamel; and a superb price to quality ratio - breakfast included, with great views of the city from the rooftop ;)

Verified reviewCentral location in Thamel, very nice family, spacious room. Quiet hostel (inside). Good value for the price.
As it's a central location, lots of outside noise which can't be helped. No toilet paper or soap, but it's cheap, so I suppose you get what you paid for. No way to lock the door when you leave the room so anyone can get in, especially as there is no staff.
Thank you very much!
