Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United StatesBathrooms are great, but would benefit from a hook and shelf so that there is somewhere to put your towel and belongings while showering. Currently, construction is happening at early and late hours next to the hostel, so be advised of the noise. It is beyond the hostel's control, so completely understandable. Kathmandu is also a busy city so some noise is to be expected anywhere. Rooms can get a bit hot and the one room fan is necessary and also helpful to cover the outside and inside noise, like barking dogs, motorbikes, snoring, etc. Small individual bed fans would be even better so there is no disagreement among people in the rooms about whether the one fan should be on or off.
The staff is great! They are friendly and helpful. Facilities are very clean. The garden and rooftop are excellent places to spend time relaxing or tending to business. The only food I had from the on-site restaurant was the Nepali breakfast, but it was excellent. Bathrooms are located outside the dorm rooms, which is always good. They were never completely full and always were stocked with fresh toilet paper. Toilets and showers are separate which is also very nice. The hostel location is in Thamel if you want access to tourist amenities and trekking shops. There is free drinking water available which makes a big difference for me. Great hostel and good value. I intend to return.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be improved is storage for backpacks - there are lockers but they are too small to fit the whole bag, so the floorspace is just a pile of bags. Minor complaint.
This is one of my favourite hostels I've ever stayed at. The staff are awesome, so friendly and helpful. The garden is so chill, a great haven from the madness of Thamel. And the facilities have everything you need. Highly recommend this place.

AustriaThe toilets and showers are depending on your room 2 a view floors up and kinda outside which made going to the toilet at night a bit uncomfortable but nothing too crazy.
Had two different rooms which where both very nice (the one a bit more expensive was of course a bit nicer). The restaurant area is beautiful but it’s not too crazy social. The staff is very helpful and it’s a good place to escape the load city.

One of my favorites of hostels I’ve stayed in. I feel so comfortable and at home in this place. And will be coming back when I’m next in Kathmandu. Their facilities were beyond what I expected: a hot shower with GREAT pressure, clean toilets, super comfortable and warm beds, great WiFi service, super friendly and helpful staff, amazing food at the restaurant downstairs, and a generally homely and safe place in a great location within Thamel.

ItalyThere was no curtain in the toilet and neighbors could see me taking a shower, I suggest to get one to respect the guests privacy. Also, shower water was leaking a bit in the room and if you leave it like this it will become mold which is unpleasant
Very well located, and I really enjoyed chilling in the garden. Staff is very welcoming and it is a great place to start your trip from. Also I made a few friends from other guests staying here, so I highly recommend recommend to solo travellers
