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 reviewIt was peaceful, walking distance from the main town area. The staff were kind; there was a storm that knocked out the power and he came to help give us at least electricity for the fan through the generator and changed the wiring in the switch. The bathroom was clean. Close to many tour operators. Got to see many elephants walking on the street with guides.
I didn’t know before booking, but the gate closes at 10/10:30. So it’s kinda inconvenient if you’re going out and end up staying out late.

Verified reviewThere are working elephants walking in front of the property every morning and night you can offer bananas to. The property is on a street with plenty of good restaurants and shops. The owner also helped us set up a tour that was fair in price with the other guides in the area. Got to see a tiger which was really exciting.
Nothing

Verified reviewPrakash and his family are exceptionally hospitable and helped us with everything we needed, from choosing activities to seamlessly booking everything we needed. The kindness of the family was a highlight, and would definitely stay again!
Electricity dropped out once or twice, usually coming back on shortly after, however I think this is a symptom of the area less so the hotel.

Verified reviewThe best place, in a quiet area with a beautiful view and very close to the Main Street. Clean and specious room with good shower and fan. Prakash and his family are very nice, kind and sweet. I really enjoyed my stay with the. Helped me to organize my full day safari for a good price. I had Surendra and Samer as my morning guides during the walking safari and they are absolutely the best. We even saw a leopard which is extremely rare. I would highly recommend to do the tour with them. I also did the jeep safari in the afternoon, which allowed me to see more of the park and enjoy more of the marine life that this beautiful place has to offer.

Verified reviewHotel Rhinoceros, Prakash and family, were so welcoming! As soon as I arrived we discussed and planned my activities and within an hour I was joining the afternoon jeep safari. The following day I did canoeing and a full day walking tour, all arranged by Prakash and with the excellent guides, Jeevan and Anish. It was an amazing day, I was lucky enough to see a tiger but even without that there was so much to see and learn about the flora and fauna of Nepal. I felt so at home, and the breakfast and packed lunch were just what was needed also. I would love to stay again one day!

Verified reviewThe truth is, I found the hotel thanks to the reviews, and I totally agree with them. The hotel is 8 minutes from the center but has no noise. Both Prakash and the two guides (Anhis and Jeevan) were very helpful in everything. The explanations were accurate and reasonable prices. Both guides are very professional, and you can tell they enjoy their work. A great experience,Thank you.
