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 reviewIt's near the city center, and it's about 15 minutes walk from the bus station. The living room is spacious. There's a cheap convenience store right next to the building. Wifi works great!
There's no fan in the room so in the summer it could get quite hot

Verified reviewThe host allowed us to check-in early and location is good
The place stinks and is extremely hot, I can't emphasize enough its very very hot there is not even a fan and sun comes directly in. Upon checkout I requested if I could leave my luggage for some time to which is the host asked for money and review in exchange (I belive that how all the good reviews are). The kitchen is extremely filthy and common spaces cluttered and filled with some 100s of files.

Verified reviewI booked a bunk bed in a 4-bed room with low expectations due to the very low price. The hostel is a converted house in a great location, which is a plus. I did not mind that it was basic and old. My room was fine and for the price, it can work if you just need a cheap place to sleep.
The place really needs maintenance and better cleaning, especially the bathroom which was in very poor condition. There were also some beds placed in the living room, which seemed less ideal, though my room was separate. So I would advise to try to book one of the separate rooms. But I was the cleanliness and comfort were definitely lacking.

Verified reviewNothing
We arrived before check-in time and we asked to him he said to us there is no problem for check-in. Last day he wanted 10 extra euro because we arrived 5 am and check in time is 11 am. This is very immoral approach for us.
It was my fault for which i opened the door at 5 am and instead of that after an exhausting trip for you to wait on a random bench until 11 am when its check in time. thak you for the review that for which you wear upon you should double in size. inshallah.

Verified reviewThere is a old and short man who works there can be rude and confrontational. Not sure what his problem is.
Dear guest, That man is a guest aswell as yourself who sleeps in the hostel approximetly 20 days. What did you expect from him to do when two days in a row he watches you clean ur teeth in the kitchen, like you came down from mountains. With two bathrooms in the hostel, you figured to clean your teeth in the kitchen sink and expect someone to congratulate you about that. Continue with that behavior and maybe someone will give you a prize. kind regads

Verified reviewThis hostel almost 1 km from main bus station where I caught buses to another nearby cities.
I found that the hostel location is far from tourist places and not connected with local transportation. Moreover, the given room was very small size where 2 bunk beg installed (4 persons) with low height which is not comfortable for large size person.

Verified reviewNice rooms with large beds and lockers for personal belongings. Our room had a balcony and air conditioning. Really big common space, there were kitchen utensils in the kitchen, they have two bathrooms.
The bathrooms were a bit dirty, there was also a man in the female dorm room, the entrance to the hostel is a bit invisible and maybe a little scary.
tnx 🙏
