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 KingdomThe bathroom was tiny with no lock on the door. The staff didnt speak English, although I didn’t have a problem communicating with them during my 2 nights, it would have made it easier.
The room is very basic, nothing to complain about. The staff were amazing, both Natasha and the other women (Im sorry I can’t remember her name) were lovely, always happy to help and have lots of positive energy. The location is perfect, directly in the old town.

MontenegroIt stank was dirty there were stains on the mattress. The shower was in the room with only a full length glass door,no lock!! There was another toilet/shower unit at the top of the stairs as no lock and no privacy very unsafe. Another traveller was complaining in the morning and the lady said F**K you leave now
The bed was broken we had to physically move the bed slats for the upper bunk so that the bed would not break.

United KingdomWhen I arrived they clearly didn’t have a bed for me; whether they overbooked or forgot I was coming I’m not sure. They put me in a room that was obviously a last resort as the mattresses were filthy and we had to make our own beds, there was nowhere to put our valuables nor was there a key for the room door. There was nowhere TV, no AC, no fan, no coffee machine (all stated present in the booking.com page). There were also no locks on the toilet or shower door. On top of all this, the owner demanded the cost of the hostel in cash and refused card, she then said she had no change to give me until tomorrow. I’d had the worst experience based on the above and so checked out within the day (I’d arranged to stay for 3 nights) to which she refused to even give me my change never mind a refund on the other 2 nights. I have travelled to North America, Australasia, Asia and now Europe and this is by far the worst hostel experience I have ever had - I’m absolutely disgusted
Aside from the very poor signage and 5 local workers not having a clue where this hostel was, the location was within old town and for that, a decent location

Australia- no place to lock up possessions despite booking.com listing saying so. Doors are all unlocked and open, anyone could walk right in. - staff don't speak any language other than Russian despite the booking.com listing saying so. - toilet doors don't lock, shower is on top of toilet so everything is always wet and smelly, doors are transparent so you can watch people on the toilet or showering - mild overcrowding with single beds wedged between bunk beds - you're presented with a mattress without a cover (dirty) and sheets/pillows of dubious cleanliness. I found someone's dirty underwear under my pillow. - floor and under beds very unclean. - staff do not take complaints seriously. I left and got another hostel. The listing is not truthful, and it should be amended or taken down.
Despite only speaking Russian staff seem to do their best with what is a truly rubbish hostel. Don't stay here.

SwedenWhatever you do do NOT book this hostel. The price is tempting but the fact that it is a hostel is incorrect. It is more of beds in a dirty room... Upon our arrival the hosts spoke only Russian so we didn't understand anything they said. The house is rather disgusting, seems like they haven't cleaned in several years. Also I couldn't sleep since people, I think including the hosts had like a party just outside until super late. The toilet I don't even want to speak about... Even if you are looking for a cheap option save yourselves because this is NOT it.
Nothing really.

CanadaModernised clean 'old town' house, so don't expect a huge hostel. Common area is the outdoor balcony kitchen/dining room or a cafe type table on the cobblestones outside the entrance. All the negative reviews seem to be from people on a 2 week holiday who expect a hotel experience. There should be a separate rating for travelers (+6 month) as we know the difference between a hostel and a 3 star hotel. This place is very clean, and I didn't see any bugs in or out of the rooms. Not sure what the 1 star reviews are complaining about.

NetherlandsUpon arrival a man (who belongs to the guesthouse is some way) is walking around in a Speedo, not very comfortable when you arrive as a guest. But the main problem, the hostel is very dirty! We got a 2 person room, very tiny but that is okay and to be expected for this price, but underneath the bed there were a lot of BEDBUGS! There also was a joint. Everything about the whole room wasn't cleaned properly. There also were issues with the bathroom (in another room, only 1 working shower, no proper door, etc.) We felt so uncomfortable (also after reading reviews of the hosts not being very pleasant people) that we packed our stuff and left without seeing them again. Don't be fooled by the location and the price, it is not worth it!!
Only the location is good, but that is not worth it, believe us!

KazakhstanThe hostel is very cozy and perfectly located in the heart of Budva’s Old Town — it truly feels like you’re living in a castle! Everything is clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There’s a kitchen where you can cook your meals, and a lovely terrace where you can relax, eat, work, or chat with other travelers. Such a pleasant and warm atmosphere — I really enjoyed my stay! ❤️
