How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe rooms are very big and there are no bunk beds. Each bed has a nightstand and a little cupboard. A kettle and tea are available in the room. Showers and bathrooms are relatively clean. A small kitchen with a fridge is located in the hallway. It's only a 10 minutes walk to the town hall and philharmonic hall.
No complaints.

Verified reviewBad experience. We booked the place a few days earlier but at check-in, they asked us to cancel our booking because the hostel is full. I told them that this is not our fault and the hostel should find another place for us and at the end, they directed us to another place which was terrible. The only good part was the owner and we enjoyed talking to him and that is why I gave two stars.
The owner. Mr Hüseyin

Verified reviewThe hostel is on the second floor of a mall. The rooms are large, toilets are clean and the kitchen is very small. There’s no stove just a microwave.
There’s no common area to talk to the other travelers. The staff don’t speak much English and don’t really engage with you.

The mattresses were not at all comfortable. There were no communal spaces.

Verified reviewThe hostel is located close to Ganja Mall (walking distance) in the centre of the city. It has good staff members (Kanan, Farid & Parmin - I hope spellings are correct). Rooms are spacious with wi-fi.
It is better to have a fully equipped kitchen in a room not in the passage way.

Verified reviewClean. Friendly and accommodating staff (doesn't speak much English). Big room, with big dinning table. Good location.
The kitchen is rather small but access to fridge and microwave. The mattress was painfully uncomfortable - the springs poked right on your body.

Verified reviewRooms are really large and linens and towels are absolutely clean. Staff is cooperative...but are helpless.
The matress on the bed is the worst i have ever found in any hostel. There is no cushion at all....only springs. The springs compact as soon as you sleep or sit on the bed. It was very bad sleep. However it will be unjust on my part if i do not mention that on my insistance, the staff couln't or didn't help me resolve my real issue, but were kind enough to refund me 50% of my money due to poor quality of beds.

Verified review1. the staff was helpful and friendly (I had a problem in the dorm that I was in my first night and they moved me to a private room with no extra charge); 2. the facilities were clean; 3. well located;
1. the beds are super umconfortable, I could feel every single spring of the mattress; 2. there are no locks and no individual lights; 3. in the dorm you don’t get a key only for you, so the bedroom stays pretty much open the whole time; 4. the whole hostel smells like cigarettes. Even though, there are lots of signs of “dont smoke” I saw the own staff smoking at the male bathroom; 5. I booked a female dorm with 5 beds, in the first night arrived a family with a man, 2 female woman and kid (girl), super uncomfortable. However, the staff moved me at 2 in the morning.
