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

IndiaIt'd have been great if there was a locker/cupboard facility to keep the bags. Otherwise, all great.
The hostel has pretty much everything you can ask for in this budget. The staff is nice and sweet. The rooms, washrooms, etc are clean. The location is in the center of the town. The best part is the rooftop restaurant. It's very well decorated with a soothing ambiance.

IndiaIt was one of the best hostels we stayed during our travels in Nepal. We arrived during the early morning and the staffs were kind enough to allow us to chill out in the common area and within less than an hour we got our room ready which was really something we appreciated :) The location of this hostel is really nice, making it accessible to popular tourist hubs like Thamel which is at a walking distance. The rooftop was pretty chilled and had some great views of Kathmandu. Huge thanks to Pramod and Karan for making our stay nice, helping us with their valuable suggestions regarding the places of interest in Kathmandu and guiding us on our upcoming travels in Nepal and they even helped us with getting our currency exchanged during the time when we needed it the most!

SpainThis hostel was amazing! I spend there 1 night at the beginning of my trip and it was the best way to start the adventure in Nepal. I asked for some informations before to arrive in Nepal and they quickly replay to all my questions. Staff is amazing, especially Karan. The airlines lost my bag and he did many calls to the airport in order to receive it at the hostel (without my presence). Right after receiving it at the propriety he texted me that everything was fine and the bag was there. I really appreciate that since I only spend one day in Kathmandu and I could enjoy the city instead of worries about the luggage get lost. I left in the early morning and he woke up for me very early with a big smile on his face. It is such a very good worker and I can definitely say that he loves what he do. Food is cheap and tasty. The shared room and bathroom are clean and they have hot showers. The terrace has a vibe and you can enjoy the sunset from up there. The location is also a must, on Katmandú center. 10 minuts away from the airport and the bus station. Quality/Price 10/10
