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 reviewMy stay at Timber House in Thamel, Kathmandu was absolutely delightful. The property is in a prime spot where everything you need is just a short walk away, yet it still feels peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast is served on the rooftop with a beautiful view, and I highly recommend trying the masala tea suggested by Sanju from the breakfast lounge,it’s truly a must-have! What really stood out was the warmth of the staff, always friendly, kind, and ready to help with anything. The rooms are clean, , spacious, cozy, and neatly maintained, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The overall service and hospitality made me feel right at home.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at the Timber House. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were maintained immaculately. The food was delicious and the rooftop bar spectacular. No requests were too much trouble for the dedicated team. I’d especially liked to thank Ram Prasad on the front desk, whose knowledge and kindness made us feel so welcome. A big shout out also to Rabita, Sanju, Susmita and the rest of the team. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel like we were wrapped in a warm Nepali blanket and made our holiday in Nepal extra special.

Verified reviewThe hotel was fantastic, particularly the staff! Ram and the team really took care of us and made sure we had a wonderful first time in Nepal. The rooftop bar and restaurant had a beautiful view of the city, which was great to have breakfast there each morning and also dinner. Location wise it's easy to access all of the main sights in Kathmandu, and the front desk helped call taxis when required. The area is very quiet, even though it's in the city centre. Would happily stay again and recommend the hotel.
There were no issues during our stay.

Verified reviewMy recent stay at Timber House in Kathmandu was absolutely wonderful, exceeding all my expectations. I genuinely enjoyed everything about this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. What stood out: exceptional Staff (especially Sanju, Ram, Rabita!). The biggest highlight was undoubtedly the staff, particularly Sanju. Her service was truly exceptional. She was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and went above and beyond throughout my entire stay. The location is very convenient - close enough to the vibrant Thamel area to easily explore, yet situated on a quieter street for a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!

Verified reviewExcellent value for money. Very comfortable hotel in a great location. The staff were exceptionally nice, and I just loved to have a glass of wine in the rooftop bar every night before going out for dinner. Would definitely come back.
The breakfast was a bit underwhelming. Not bad, but could have been better.

Verified reviewWhenever I am in Kathmandu, I always stay at the Timber House. I've stayed here on 4 separate occasions already. The staff are like family already; they are all awesome. From the security guards, Ram, Parbati, Rabita of reservations and front desk, the housekeeping, and the restaurant waiters and servers. The location is fantastic and ideal, being central and very close to Thamel but away from its chaos.
I hope they can develop and innovate their food and drink offerings. They have the best restaurant and bar facility, a rooftop overlooking the city. Lovely sunrises and captivating sunsets.
