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 reviewThe hotel was situated on the middle of Durbar Square, being able to see the sunset over the temples from the roof was amazing. The staff was super helpful and responsive to our questions prior to our arrival.
No con, just a heads up: As the hotel is situated on the Durbar Square you need a ticket to enter that part of the city. You can get multiple day entrance if you bring a copy if your passport to the desk.

Verified reviewGreat hotel in an excellent location. The hotel is right in the historical area. Its worth spending a relaxing couple of days here and exploring the square at your leisure. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Hotel Traditional. (Unrelated to the hotel itself, be sure to carry your ticket to the square with you. If you wander anywhere near the entries/exits you will be pounced on like they've spotted Ronnie Biggs. At any rate at more than $20 AUD it's not a fee you want to pay more than once.).

Verified reviewFantastic location, right next to Durbar Square. Everything is within walking distance. The window in the room was very beautiful and classic. The rooftop is amazing—you can enjoy your breakfast with a view of the square. ❤️ The staff were also very helpful. I had a really late flight on the day I checked out, and they kindly allowed me to have a late check-out for my convenience. I really appreciated that.
The room lighting was a bit dim. You’ll need to walk out of the square to get a taxi🤣 but not a big deal .

Verified reviewGreat hotel. Room was nice and spacious and staff were really kind and helpful.
With the hotel being in Bhaktapur Durbar Square expect to have to pay entry (1800 ruppee for foreigners) to the site. Something i was not aware of before I booked and was a bit of a shock at first.

The rooms are not noise proof so you could experience some noise from the streets in the mornings.

Verified reviewVery kind and helpful staff, exceptional location, large room. The breakfast was very nice, good coffee.
The hotel feels a little neglected -- there are buckets and rags in the hallways, staff in the lobby on their cell phones. The hotel advertises a rooftop cafe or at least a "restaurant," but there isn't one. Be sure to inquire about whether the AC/heat works. Mine didn't.

Verified reviewLovely Hotel in Bhaktapur. Very nice and spacious room. Good hot shower and nice bathroom. Amazing view from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast was very good as well (Tea, Coffe, Eggs, Toast, Fruit, Curd, Granola). Overall a great stay. Just a side note: you need to pay an entry fee to enter Bhaktapur 15 USD per Person.
The room was quite cold. But the AC has a heater function which helped a lot.
