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.).

CroatiaIgor’s place is where you go to meet the one local you absolutely have to meet (Igor) and the funny travelers who keep coming back again and again, drawn by the hostel’s great party vibe. It’s a very cool spot with views over the main street, but the real highlight is the host and the people you meet there. Everyone seems to end up extending their stay. The location is perfect—especially if you’re doing SFF—since it doesn’t get more central than this.

ItalyWhen I was looking for a place I found these gorgeous reviews about this great host: Igor. I must say that caught my attention. And I’m glad it did because Igor is amazing. He is like a friend, a host, a tourist guide, a Sarajevo ambassador, a stand-up comedian, a therapist… all at once. He is genuine and he speaks a lot of languages. He is also very kind and he loves his hostel and what he does. And you can tell. When I go back to Sarajevo I’m gonna go back this great hostel. For sure. The place is full of details like a small pockets to put your cellphone or anything else, there are two bathrooms and showers for men and women. He has lots of stories to share and he is fun. Thanks so much Igor, ya me estoy calmando amigooo jajaja

KuwaitI had an amazing stay at The Good Place Hostel! From the moment I arrived, Igor, the owner, made me feel incredibly welcome. He’s one of the friendliest hosts I’ve met on my travels — always smiling, helpful, and genuinely cares about his guests. The hostel itself is very clean, organized, and cozy. You can tell that a lot of care goes into maintaining the place. It honestly felt like home, not just because of the comfort, but also because of the warm atmosphere. Everyone staying there connected like a little family, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sarajevo. Thank you, Igor, for making my stay unforgettable!

United KingdomThe hangover from the rakija on the last night.
Igor the host easily made this stay. I won't index all of his qualities as a human and host as there is already enough evidence in previous reviews. But, during my stay he was present and created a friendly, social, fun environment for all. We had some great discussions about Sarajevo and everything that comes with it. He is a bro. The hostel itself, the location is bang on, could walk anywhere easily with ease. I came with a smile on my face and left laughing tears of rakija. What a crack.

AustraliaNot a 'didn't like' as such, but I did miss having cooking facilities as I'm travelling for an extended period. That being said, there’s still a kettle and small kitchenette and a myriad of places to eat around the hostel. I'd absolutely stay again.
I absolutely loved my time at Igor's hostel - The Good Place. It truly lives up to its name. Igor takes the time to make each guest feel welcome and has a wonderful balance between playful humour and care for his guests. The location is great and the rooms are not overcrowded. The lockers are a great size and the beds comfortable. As a female solo traveller, safety is always a consideration. There were absolutely no red flags here, just good vibes! :)

RussiaThe host, Igor, is a beautiful soul—he knows a lot about Sarajevo and is genuinely happy to share his knowledge. Also, he uses 100% of his brain! Your Sarajevo trip won’t be complete without a chat with him. The rooms are spacious and squeaky clean, the beds have curtains (yes, curtains!), and the showers are simply a perfection. The wall is a masterpiece. The quality-to-value ratio is exactly what anyone would hope for. Hvala, The Good Place!
