Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaI loved NextDoor Patan Hostel. I stayed here three separate times during my visit to Kathmandu. Its a lovely quiet hostel. The team are superb and so friendly. It feels like a home. The breakfast was always great and served with a smile and friendly chat. The rooms were very clean and tidy. The shower was always hot. The rooftop terrace was great. Cooking class to make momos was amazing. I would definitely stay again the next time I come to Kathmandu.

IndiaNextdoor feels like home away from home. The location is away from the hustle bustle of the main roads, but still easily accessible. The dorms are neat and tidy with the most comfortable beds I've ever had in a hostel setup. They are spacious with curtains for privacy and quiet hours at night. The washrooms are clean as well. The staff warmly welcomes you from the moment you reach the front desk and treats you more like a friend than a guest. The atmosphere of the hostel is great to socialize, something which is great for solo travelers. The free breakfast is a cherry on top. The hostel also organizes free events for in-house guests like walking tours and lets you know about other events happening in the city as well using their weekly calendar. Great place to stay when in Nepal. Can't recommend them enough.

NepalOne of the best hostels I've stayed at in all my travels. The bed was very comfortable and spacious. The staff were really friendly and helpful, often organizing workshops, tours, movies, and games for the guests. My fav detail is the activity calendar that gets updated every week with exhibitions, shows and events happening in the area. The breakfast provided is always delicious and a great opportunity to make new friends. I love the communal kitchen and rooftop space. Raithaane, the attached restaurant is also a gem. The food is fantastic and opened my eyes to the diversity of Nepali cuisine. Ended up feeling very reluctant when it came time to leave but I know I will be back to stay at Nextdoor the next time I'm in Patan!

The hostel is really clean, with 2 nice communal areas, great Wi-Fi, hot water and drinking water as well as a choice of breakfast.

BelgiumI had an amazing stay here. The place feels more like a home than a big commercial hostel. Its a good and calm base for exploring Kathmandu and its surroundings. The staff is super helpful, the breakfast was great, there are plenty of activities and unique walking tours, and the beds and blankets are the most comfortable i have had in a few months of travelling 😉. Thank you so much and see you soon!

Kathmandu is not an easy city with a maze of noisy and crowded street. Next-door hotel is located within a quiet neighbourhood and acts like an oasis in the desert.This positive impression is reinforced thanks to the services offered by Tisa and his staff always smiling and helpful. I will definitely return there

Czech RepublicThere is really nothing to complain about.
The personel is very friendly, funny and helpful. The whole hostel is nice and clean and my room had everything I needed. The location was really great for my needs and also close to everything that one might want to do. Even though I have not had the opportunity (as I was working) I do appreciate the free trips they organise. If ever coming back to Kathmandu, there is no other place I would stay.

Hong KongIf I had to say one thing dislike…. The walking tour planed end up at Patan Durbar square. I was the only guest to join so didn’t want to explore alone and I didn’t know how to walk back to the hostel from Durbar square so I didn’t visit there… If the hostel would tell me more informations before the tour started then I could download a offline map
The best hostel in Kathmandu!! The whole team is amazing I could feel they’re very passionate with their job and always taken care of everyone. The breakfast was great! I had a very pleasant stay here!

The staff! So so friendly and welcoming and such genuine people. The general atmosphere was lovely and especially loved the Secret Santa evening on Christmas day. The restaurant on the premises was also a real treat. Delicious home cooked traditional food. The winter stew was so yummy. We ended up booking an extra night & I even returned again after a trip to Pokhara. They had organised a fantastic hike for us on our first day with excellent tour guide Kris. Jason & all the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We hadnt stayed in a hostel for many years but I can highly recommend a stay at The HostelNextdoor. We had a private room & it was large, warm & very comfortable. I've travelled a lot in Asia and I can tell you, this was one of my most enjoyable stays. Thank you Hostel Nextdoor.
