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 are 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 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.).

IndiaThe toilets weren’t too clean. Had to hold my breath to use the washroom. Probably a room freshner will be a good addition and ofcourse I should’ve carried a toilet seat disinfectant!
The rooftop bar! My absolute favourite- great view, lovely food and very courteous staff. Check in was pretty hassle free. All their staff are really warm and hospitable. Bed was clean and comfy too.

United StatesIf smoking were not allowed on the property it would've been perfect. The cigarette smell kept coming right into the bedrooms at night disrupting my sleep because people leave the door open and smoke right outside of it.
Good stuff, cheap, clean, great staff, checked all the bodes of a great hostel!

My first days in Nepal were in Flock Hostel and I enjoyed it very much! Food was good in general, momo's, curry, great pizza in Asian style. Great yoghurt dish for breakfast and enough other alternatives. Nice places to sit for a meal or a drink, life music in weekends. The staff is very friendly and helpful to make your stay pleasant. I did a very nice one day trekking with sunrise view via the Flock travel desk.

New ZealandThe last room we stayed in seemed incomplete with half built bathroom cabinets and we had to keep the curtains closed due to looking out onto a work passage-way, so felt not private/comfortable.
We stayed several times at Flock Hostel over a 1 month period while visiting Nepal. We had 4 double rooms over this time, and 3/4 had lovely views and were very comfortable and clean. The hostel is central to Thamel area, so great for accessing this neighbourhood and the Tourist Bus Stop. The hostel kept our luggage secure when we travelled out of town. The breakfast and food/service was all very good. Flock helped organise a great tour of Kathmandu and with bus transport to Pokhara.

FranceJust a few suggestions like: (1) putting a mirror in the 4 ladies dorm (not a detail after all, for LADIES!) (2) creating a hanging space for small, occasional washing (when you're not back from a trek with LOADS of worn clothes to send to laundry service) rather than have these small items hanging on the balcony railings on the 4th floor, with the cleaning ladies' rags (not a pretty sight!)
I stayed 12 days altogether at Flock Hostel, on 3 separate periods through April-May, in a 4 bed, 6 bed and 10 bed ladies dorm. It was like a home away from home, in a great location, very safe, with a dedicated staff, from reception to travel desk, to restaurant, cleaning and general services personnel. Kudos, and keep it up! 👏👏👏

PhilippinesEverything in this Hostel is like a home away from home. It’s like a secret place in the middle of chaos in Thamel. My favorite hostel in Kathmandu and by far one of the best. If I will rate this hostel on a global standard to all the hostel experience I have. I will put Flock Hostel at the number 2 spot, that’s global. Dhanyebad ❤️❤️❤️🇳🇵

IndiaThe quality of premium whiskey brands served in the hostel resto is questionable !. Don't know, what could be the reason for them to source those ,considering the quality of food is at par with a 4* restaurant.
Compact rooms , systematic and controlled clean hostel atmosphere .I would like to convey my sincere thanks to Mr Saurabh and Ms .Neema at the front desk ,they managed all my requests without any hesitation.

ThailandIt might be worth installing battery powered room lights and WiFi as power outages are common in Nepal. I have seen it elsewhere.
Excellent design for a hostel, lots of activities and services available. I stayed there 3 times in my 2 weeks in Nepal. Their travel agent helped me with my flight to Mustang. The breakfast is nice, private room comfortable, the staff were helpful and always at hand. Great location. Set back from the busy roads.
