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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United Arab EmiratesNo A/C and some mosquitoes at night, but they provide spray. Hens get noisy early in the morning.
Amazing hostel with super friendly staff. There are animals everywhere and fresh fruit to pick in the garden — such a unique atmosphere! Only a 15-minute walk from the city center.

United KingdomThe owner was lovely. She was so hospitable; it was as though we had been invited off the streets as guests and just looked after. It didn’t feel as though we were paying customers. The surroundings of the property were also beautiful with lots of fruit producing trees. Breakfast was amazing with fresh eggs produced by her chickens that morning. So many nice things to say about this place.

GermanyThere was no ventilator in the room and I booked it, because in the description it was written that there is one. Therefore it was till 12 at night really hot in the room
The lady is incredibly nice and helpful. I felt being in good hands. It is a safe place and like it should be in a hostel, I met nice people from all over the world. I am very grateful that I got breakfast, because this is really seldom in Albania. Thanks a lot for the nice time I spent there.

GermanyIt was such a wonderful time here, we could just sit forever in this beautiful garden, watching the chickens, cats etc. It was so peaceful. And the breakfast was unbelievably good. And then our host was so nice, she even brought us the bus station and waited with us for the bus. We really want to come back some day!

SlovakiaThis is a great place to stay if you are looking for local experience. We loved the place, garden with fruits and vegetables, chickens, goat, cats. The room was nice and clean, bathroom as well. There is common external kitchen, with small portable stoves, pots are available. The owner, lady, was very nice and welcoming, "mum like" ;) The breakfast was delicious, egg,fig jam, goat cheese, bread, all of it homemade! We had a parking spot inside in the garden. There is not much around, but you get to the city by walking in 30mins and the closest good restaurant (Antika) is 15mins walking. We had a really nice experience staying at this place. Thank you!

CanadaThis is my second time I have stayed at this hostel for consecutive days. One would think that any place would lose its magic by the second time around but, quite to the contrary, this place never fails to impress. Although there may not be such a thing as a perfect hostel, this one comes pretty close.

HungaryThe kitchen and its facilities should be a bit more taken care of.
The hosting lady was very flexible as I booked the place late in the evening in offseason and so despite being a bit unprepared for my visit, she did everything to feel in comfort. So I didn't need to share the dorm with anyone, as I was totally alone. Thank you for the chance! :) The bathroom and the dorm were both very clean!

IsraelThe room was not en suite. No heating. Although, at least at this time of the year, the blankets provided were more than enough. No TV. I personally see this as a big plus but others may think otherwise. Cash only.
As per other guests' reviews, this is actually a homestay. My room was big and comfortable. I was also able to get it completely dark for a good night's sleep. The location, although relatively far from the center, also made it all very quiet. Simple but excellent organic breakfast. The host was very friendly and helpful.
