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.).

Turks & Caicos IslandsThe staff makes you feel at home, takes care of you from start to finish. Really amazing staff. Everything worked perfectly for me and even that Ashish would ask me if everything is alright every single day. This shows the staff are very professional, courteous, humble and always smiling. Cheers guys, will be back soon.

Absolutely Loved My Stay! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile and exceptional service. The staff’s local knowledge and willingness to help truly stood out — as a last-minute planner, having someone guide me through tailored activity options was a game-changer. The rooms were exactly as pictured, but what truly made the difference for me was the incredibly comfortable bed — easily one of the best I’ve slept in. The hotel is also quiet, with no street noise. It’s just a few minutes’ walk to the hustle and bustle of Thamel, so you get the best of both worlds: convenience and calm. Each morning began with a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back!

United KingdomThe rooftop has no shades.Its open.
I am one of the regular customer in Vastu hotel.I prefer the hotel during my holiday due to its secluded location and cleanliness mostly.As the owner runs this place himself so they are extra cautious about the needs of their customers and feel always free to ask them any personalised service and i bet they wont hesitate for customer satisfaction.Their restaurant service is good and rooftop is cozy.will come back again!!

IsraelThe best hotel we stayed at in Nepal! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The guy at the reception was the kindest person ever – so helpful, patient, always smiling, and truly went above and beyond to assist us with everything we needed, from local tips to organizing our plans. Our room was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, and had such a peaceful vibe. Breakfasts were a real treat – generous, delicious, fresh, and made with love. The entire staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made us feel at home – only with better views and perfect cleanliness :) If you’re looking for a peaceful, welcoming place with amazing people and great energy – this is the one! Highly recommended with all my heart ❤

AustraliaI don't know where to begin with what I liked about Vastu Boutique hotel (aka Ashish' Palace 😁) because it completely exceeded my expectations and I loved it all. Hands down the best hotel/accommodation I've experienced in Asia, let alone Nepal. Friendly staff, helpful travel tips, so clean, so cosy (we found it so hard to leave and stayed 6 nights more than we intended!), genuine service, immaculate housekeeping, delicious and generous meals each morning, fresh bottled water, tea, coffee, kettle.... I could go on! Everything was perfect. And the photos you see on here are what you get🩷100% recommend this hotel to those seeking a sanctuary amidst the colourful hustle bustle of Thamel. Oh yeah, and the location is amazing too! Thank you Ashish!

AustraliaWe absolutely loved our stay here! The rooms were super clean, modern, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect — right next to a great restaurant and within walking distance to local markets and major tourist spots. The free breakfast each morning was such a bonus (and genuinely delicious!), and the staff were nothing short of exceptional. They went above and beyond to help us plan our trip and made everything so easy. We enjoyed it so much, we’ve already booked to stay again. Highly recommend!

SlovakiaAbsolutely wonderful stay! This hotel was everything I hoped for and more. It’s a peaceful, quiet place—perfect for relaxing and getting a good night’s sleep. The rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, with everything I needed to feel right at home. The breakfast each morning was a great start to the day—tasty, fresh, and with a good variety of options. But what truly made my experience stand out was the staff. Every person I interacted with was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their warm hospitality made all the difference. Overall, the hotel was exactly as good as it should be—maybe even better. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable, and friendly place to stay.

The location is perfect in Thamel area. Very safe and highly walkable within the tourist and dining spots. The room is big. Shower water pressure is good. There is electric kettle and fridge in the room which is a big plus for me. There is an elevator available too. Breakfast is good especially the Nepalese yoghurt with grains. But the most valuable asset of the hotel are their staff. Special shoutout to Ashish Aryal. The best host to have. He is so genuine, super helpful and kind. He exemplified true Nepalese hospitality. Such a wonderful person. Great guy. I am definitely recommending Vastu Boutique hotel to everyone who visit Kathmandu. Five-star rating!!

GermanyIt's a small hotel, which was exactly what I wanted! It was quite and cozy and for breakfast you could order several different variations. The stuff had several great recommendations, and took their time to help out, which they did a lot! Also I liked the modern style of the hotel. The pictures portrayed the reality very well. Loved it!
