Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

BelgiumThe bathroom could use a little facelift and the breakfast could be a bit more varied but apart from that everything was amazing.
The location is absolutely gorgeous. The place is authentic and very well run. The staff will make sure you have the most pleasant stay. Rarely found a place that had such a good value for money. Highly recommendable!

United States of AmericaWe really enjoyed our stay here. The location makes it, as it is perched above the river with a high chance of seeing wildlife. There is a relatively local rhino that hangs out in the river, and sometimes you see crocodiles and more. The rooms were comfortable, the restaurant food was, great, and the hosts were very kind and helpful.

NetherlandsWe did not see a rhino ;) The wifi connection is very poor.
Amazing location with view over the river! Very friendly staff, that is always ready to help. Good breakfast, but the other dishes in the restaurant were not that good and a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants in town. I read a lot of reviews that the rooms were not clean and old, so I had very low expectations. But our room was very clean and comfortable! Maybe it was because we booked a deluxe room. The bed maybe had its best time, but was still OK!

The rooms were comfy and big, and the staff was super friendly and accomodating. Great breakfast buffet daily. Would definitely recommend this place.

IndiaWe asked for booking a bus ride from Chitwan to Pokhara. They booked us on a bus run by a company named Swift. It was a run down low quality bus with poor comfort. It was annoying to see other spanking new super comfortable buses plying on the same route for similar fares.
Great location, nice spacious well appointed room, good ambiance, superb riverside view, excellent restaurant. We saw a rhino on the river from the restaurant. All staff were helpful. In particular, they have a gem of a person taking care of guests in the restaurant, Mr. Sitaram, whose caring hospitality was truly extraordinary.

Czech RepublicYou need to understand that this is not a ...start hotel, this is like a local guest house - so do not expect too much. Restaurant needs to be improved that is for sure, otherwise they are loosing business to the high street places nearby, which are not great either.
Very peaceful, relaxing and soothing place situated directly on the river bank. Almost all rooms have amazing river views, also amazing views from the restaurant. When we checked in at about 15.00, we were told that rhino is walking around on the opposite site of the river. We went to see it and it was amazing. All staff are very nice and helpful. Manager is great and can solve any problems. Do not book any safari in advance - manager will sort you out there. We did canoe trip and then walking thru the forest, and then jeep safari. Canoe trip and hiking tour are highly recommended!!! Local guide Saru is amazing - just make sure you ask him, and he will show you rhinos at a close distance, crocodiles, etc. Thank you Saru very much!!! Jeep safari - hmmm... not great to be honest, you can do it to tick the box, but better to go hiking with Saru - 100%!

Location is superb as is the customer service from staff. The man managing the restaurant is tireless and just the nicest guy as he strives to satisfy the guests needs. He seems to be there from sunrise to late evening. Good value rustic hotel. BTW: no sooner had I checked in, walked along the river and there was my first rhino 🦏 Would be difficult to find better location and value in Saurah

NepalFantastic location right on the riverbanks. The guy who runs the restaurant is super nice. On my last day, I was the only one in the restaurant around 9 am. He said, "Come quick!" We went out a back door from the hotel and there was a rhino right there just a few meters away! He comes to town regularly to eat grass and other stuff because he doesn't get chased away by other rhinos who are territorial. All the staff was really nice. I had a big problem with my booking through Agoda, yet the manager was really calm and cool through the whole ordeal. I was on the phone with Agoda customer service for over an hour, and he was really nice about it, trying to find my reservation in the Agoda system over and over again. It turned out that the agent in China who sold the room made a mistake, so it was no fault of this hotel. The hotel manager called a tuk-tuk to rush me to my plane as all this time on the phone with Agoda made me nearly miss my plane. I can't say enough good things about the staff and location of this hotel. Oh, and the breakfast is really nice too. Lots of great service with a smile.

IrelandVery good value for money. The resort has an amazing location in front of the river and at same time is just few minutes walking to the town of Sauraha, with all shops,restaurants and bars for going out evening time. The whole staff has been very welcoming and helpful, was taking care of me constantly during and also before my stay. They organised for me perfectly the free pickups to and from the Sauraha bus station and also my daily trips for good price, such jeep safari and walking tour, with tours guides very well prepared. Breakfast and restaurant service are also very good. The rooms are spacious and clean,with all conforts and a great river view.
